I consider the shapes of actions and thoughts–how particular formations are often assigned either positive or negative value; how they are associated with either progress or regression; how the meaning of things–shapes included–are situated within cultural and historical contexts.
I focus my musings on squares and circles–linearity and circularity, respectively. I carve my thoughts into a micro-text–List(less). It appears in unFold–a California-based Twitter-zine edited by Rose Auslander and published by Folded Word Press. The zine features “poems/stanza’s in 140 characters or less”.
Here it is:

I like this idea of the shape of thoughts. Re the poll, I immediately thought, well, when? It depends right? So I voted “none of the above,” thinking “blob,” definitely, right now, but if I had to pick one of the listed I found myself drawn to the triangle. But not an equilateral one, maybe an isosceles or scalene. This is all I remember from high school geometry. :)
Blob. I like that one.
