What you see

With every journey

as in life comes twists and turns

but also, flowers

Breaking tea

Bottled up in rows

residue—unlike anger’s

refreshing matcha

Towering

Since the beginning

looking skywards to know time

sun then dial now

Layered

Building-in-Chicago

Assembled as cakes

from meticulous minds come

concrete puzzles tiered

Plans

plans — Inside the Cultural Center, Chicago

Victory doesn’t last

plan with reckless abandon

failure doesn’t either
