Taking Down The Installation

Time to take this down,
to say good-bye, to exit.

The installation has served—
I sought a theme...

We moved freely,
into and out of it,

interacted with its parts,
close up, paid attention—

the point, moreso than
the installation itself.

Multifariousness. Life.
Experience. Soundless

shall be the footfall light
in all men's ears...
