imagine a world with edges

nostalgia for a fictional place

shaped, neat, intentional, deliberately sculpted.

smooth lines with a glossy veneer.

bubble wrapped, packaged with foam peanuts,

on demand delivered to your door,

waiting was for a past life. Flatland,

living like a regular Polygon, able to 

see the corners of the world, steady enough to

keep from falling off them. time is jagged here,

a minute an hour and an hour ten seconds, line

graphs are more useful than calendars, even if

you're not a day trader. pastels are fictitious,

comfort is an aesthetic not a feeling, the best

emotion is a perfect square, the Egyptians never

stopped building pyramids, life has an on/off switch.
