YOU TALK

The image displays a blackout poetry piece created around a drawing of a clenched gray and magenta fist. The page's text is partially inked out by this drawing, as well as a sheer wash of orange marker. Select words are left visible, creating a short poem within a page of rich dialogue.

YOU TALK

You talk

learn little

You

too

loud.

You so hard

I leave

I wait

Next YOU KNOW, YOU SEE, YOU REMEMBER
