The challenges of reaching out to someone who is notoriously unresponsive & ineffective. It was an attempt to write as a method to see how angst could be channelled through another language. It was a relief when the automated reply arrived. Architectural threads from The Recession We Had To Have resurfaced again, along with the memory of how curves were discouraged.

ABSTACT SIDE NOTES: NB the cable-ties, extending from the domestos red blue coda that extended from the dress-code. Like a cat, curled inside the wardrobe with a gun safe.
