It was a warm September evening.

We smoothed the horizon.

Here were the particulars of idling.

Here were the particulars of malleable proportions.

The verb was the plane of picturing.

The painter’s work is horizontal.

Against history we looked and against poetry also.

We looked against space that is.

A lady’s reach must exceed her grasp.

A lady must exceed space or falter.

Faltering was smooth.

This is mannerist ecology.
