EACH THIS: A BETTER SPONGE by Lauren Klotzman

this show is a
video book
consisting of
brief “pages”
arranged in
a suite

in total, an essay
in the singular, a poem;
each page a “poem”

the suite comprises
variations on a theme

it is a theory
having pathos
but lacking definition

an ambiance;
a field of meaning of
which one can enter
but from which no
message
can be derived
