Recipe for a Split End:
withering fantasy / mending with sap / dust resting on pleather seat / tickling landscape / sitting in a puddle / posing questions / flipping a lemon wedge / dry mouth / prickly feet / several wild flowers / collecting rocks / sex appeal / pining for friends
Flirting with danger, a finger slips scratching the frail edge of the cuticle sheath. In between scratch and brittle fiber exists a misty climate supporting the propagation of fertile split ends. Fourteen makers play, sniff, and negotiate the intersection between breakage — pollinating and conditioning a vinegary serum composed of tense material hybrids. In this elastic biome exists a beating landscape generating the questions:
does a split end resolve an absence?
is a split end an uncategorized measurement of time yet to be
archeologically realized?
do split ends avoid the limelight?
do split ends incorporate fiction into a recipe for reality?
do split ends leisurely sway?
do they have friends?
Should you be So close to my split end?
did we stop at split ends?
