Mushy food stuff dispersed on a thin circle of dough, stone baked and hidden in the sterile whiteness of a cardboard box. Oregano & basil in the air. A muffled voice, some coins on the counter. Cheese melted into abstraction. Quattro stagioni, 24/ 7. A dashed line of left-over crusts drawn across the continents. Boxes stacked like broken columns; Donald Judd making roman ruins in the kitchen. Solving an ancient math puzzle with a pizza wheel; squaring the circle, while elastic cheese strings resonate in hollow fold-up boxes. A slice of life. Later, the same evening: Cold pizza and disasters on the news. He’s such a square. She’s lost her edge. Yours sincerely
