s w i f t s  &  s l o w s: a quarterly of crisscrossings

repeated repetitions repeating

signs of what is happening, discarded
coming off the body
cover the hands one hand two hands two gloves one glove
sound bursts breathing eruption honking horns sirens snores
signs signs signs signs
streets are wasteland, absent people
plastic pulled off left behind
who is leaving this?  who is cleaning up?
who is making that sound?
hands flashing caution, stick figures go
sidewalks outer space four space building blocks
zoom party block party stay inside
terrifying sidewalk grate
where does it go?
