25.04.2020 (Pozzolana.) 
We’ve survived worse, Malibu
Will still be there after all of this, but
Below brutalism, at its foundation, the
Baseline, who can muster a foxtrot when
Touch is dead, Holy Houses have turned to
Dust before this, Rome strengthened with
Age, but it’s fluid, a wave, dancing, spacing, we
Lost track, the house was built, it wasn’t
Solid, it turned out to be a
Song. 
​

Underneath the architecture my
​Dancing never stopped.
