The Modern Landscape
The modern landscape is a rectangle cut from the skin
The skin that covers the skeleton the studs the joists
The lintel the stone step the hearth
The modern landscape is the trapezoid of materiality that holds the vista
The smooth cup of the skull contains the vista interruptis that offers
The praxis of disruption between the fissure of signified and signifier
The prison of alienation commandeered the optic nerve as headquarters
Acuity compromised the blurring of borders the checkpoints of definition
The automobile windshield is the referent for the modern landscape
The modern landscape is the diaspora of iconography defining the moral value of the sign
Iconography becomes the universal language when linguistic acuity is sacrificed for expediency
The slice from the skin dreams of a rectangularity that can accommodate a true vista
The panorama is measured from the top of the clavicle to the tip of the middle finger
The landscape cannot be assimilated in this room of referentially in this prison of habitat
Unsure of the effect of materiality on landscape one can only strive for sanctuary
In the inner skin of harbor of levy of home of refuge
The false identity of prospect becomes the homogeneous entity of
a lexicon mutually incomprehensible to itself
The modern landscape will cut you loose you will see for yourself
The vista itself is hazardous the mimetic nature of vista is coming home
Coming home is the desire to cut the rectangle
Once again from the skin of habitat
The modern landscape is a rectangle cut from the skin
The skin that covers the skeleton the studs the joists
The lintel the stone step the hearth
The modern landscape is the trapezoid of materiality that holds the vista
The smooth cup of the skull contains the vista interruptis that offers
The praxis of disruption between the fissure of signified and signifier
The prison of alienation commandeered the optic nerve as headquarters
Acuity compromised the blurring of borders the checkpoints of definition
The automobile windshield is the referent for the modern landscape
The modern landscape is the diaspora of iconography defining the moral value of the sign
Iconography becomes the universal language when linguistic acuity is sacrificed for expediency
The slice from the skin dreams of a rectangularity that can accommodate a true vista
The panorama is measured from the top of the clavicle to the tip of the middle finger
The landscape cannot be assimilated in this room of referentially in this prison of habitat
Unsure of the effect of materiality on landscape one can only strive for sanctuary
In the inner skin of harbor of levy of home of refuge
The false identity of prospect becomes the homogeneous entity of
a lexicon mutually incomprehensible to itself
The modern landscape will cut you loose you will see for yourself
The vista itself is hazardous the mimetic nature of vista is coming home
Coming home is the desire to cut the rectangle
Once again from the skin of habitat
