In identical corners of emergency rooms

we’re thinking of types of silence.

In identical cities on opposite poles

we’re thinking about these cities,

which causes our minds to go the colour

of cities from a thousand feet up,

that is, no colour at all, at least

no colour I could ever describe.

Later on the walls of the gallery

each work becomes an emergency,

a room, an emergency room, or a time-

lapse film of these two cities,

lenses swooping from a thousand feet

onto me in the corners of emergencies.
