Givens
Zach Barocas
The score folds
leaves to an even edge;
Aqueduct’s parking lot
is water, the treeline
a shore. Faith is humble
assumption & trust.
Trust is measure, distance,
extension, & collapse; that is, how
far is far away, how
close is close?
All clatter distracts, all
trappings distract,
all distractions
collapse, all contractions
collide, all diversions contract
& so collide.
