Tweening

Often scratched
with a sharp object, the head
is represented. Many lack 

noses. Do not require
necks. Absent
or ambivalent emotional
expression has proven effective.
The symbol for drinking does thicken 

for a ragdoll type.
There has been much debate
about graffiti. Iconic
and crudely embellished
morphemes do not require 

general consensus. It all started
by simplifying people
to their earliest roots.

Notebook Primitive

That these ruled
lines offend
her is a symptom,
hers, of obsession.
She needs to draw 

stick figures
unencumbered by wires
and shortest distances, tight
ropes and narrative’s longhand
script. She knows 

they’ll walk out
on clouds of snow-
covered mystery, but
at least she can pretend
she set them free.
