On Restlessness

Open the jug, pour the liquid into a yogurt lid, swipe a few strokes and scrape the remaining liquid back into the jug. Move all the containers with fabric to one area of the room. Take the lid off of one with squares, find scissors, cut a length of wire and string five squares. Throw it down on the rug and move to the next grouping of containers. Lay a rectangle down in the white-walled room, throw colors and textures and a sense of self in a pile on the floor (maybe it will be a landscape). Start reading the sewing machine manual and change the needle, riffle through the boxes of coned thread and decide at least one cone is pure cotton. Back to the squares and then a touch more on the pile of fabric in the white-walled room and another few swipes of liquid and finally end at the table in front of the window.
