When a break is a residue or stretches itself to euclidian scale, a flat plane that divides itself, proliferating, seducing, fucking your head, marking a calendar, marking an image, an imagining, a whiff. This thing that can percolate in the air, be sticky on my neurons, leaving a film as electricity activates this thing which is barely a thing and it can only be pulled like a hair from an experience or question which comes from a singular individual or drawn from a singularity. An experience which may d/evolve into a feeling, a trip, 30 seconds of office hours, the driving of a boat, one afternoon in Decatur, an uttering, isolate revelation or isolate tension with someone. This thing is breaking over and over again.
