The Sculptor

Michelangelo acclimates to the new throw away age. Irreducible units of image crystallize. The sculptor removes channel by channel. His chisel slows the dance of the gods and ciphers the weight of time. Channels are erased out of the parchment back into the stone. He scrambles to be conspicuous in the ambient light. Hours, difficult in staying on task, replace mindless minutes. The conditioned response, examined every second, yields portrayal of pattern and possible shape. In method, meet requirements. Accept no completion. Then all rules are complete. In a world of construction, carry only what you keep.
