It is hard, rough, and still.
A lot of young people suddenly became relatively still.
The space becomes bigger by the inclusion of something this big.
The roughness of the surface registers time.
A gravity-space paradox
The whiteness of the gallery
The silence
The concrete floor
Up close there’s marks of making
Of tarnish and tears
As I walked in
I was followed by teenagers chatting
The conversation became cacophony in the echoes and sonorously of the empty space.
