R I ZED THE
CHART. THE CURVES
AND LINES, VERTICAL,
HORIZONTAL,MADE FOR
INTENTIONAL CONFUSION.
THE LETTERS NON SENSICAL
BUT LYRICAL IN ARRANGEMENT.
THE RECITATION WAS PERFECT. THE DOCTOR
SMILED AND I WAS FREE.WHAT’S THERE TO SEE ANYWAY?
I wrote this in the form of an eye exam chart. I was excited about the idea at first, but I found the form limited what I could write. I also had to manipulate lines and spaces and text size frequently in order for it to appear like a chart.
ReplyDeleteI love it! Very poetic and simple.
ReplyDeleteI like it a lot, as well. I'm not sure it has to be as limited as you suggest. What if it told us about a love affair with an eye doctor? Or even a longing for the doctor? Or some concern about aging, or the gradual loss of eyesight? And what if there was no punctuation, as there isn't in a real chart? In any case, great idea nicely executed.
