There’s no point seating a square
inside another square.
Neither of them is happy
despite what you might think

a scene arrested black in turncoat archer forest opera noturningback
flatness’s eternal itch unscratched a face no blade of grass can lick
Please move on to a different problem,
one with structure, interior, edge,
a point
