I WANT A WORK PLAN

I want a work plan that can rock me

A wake in the morning before light

Pull back my blanket

Place a pen

In my hand

Give me 1000 words a day

I want a work plan with

Three big books

Where I respond to each

With the book

The whole book

And nothing but the book

So help me god

I want a work plan that creates

Questions in my practice

Why art museums?

How is my practice a critical lab?

Why engage landscape and memory?

Is eco-poetics a call to arms?

I want a work plan that sanctions refinement

Theory practice artistic and curatorial

By written foundation

Already underway

Universalized

An imagetext

Philosophizing

I want a work plan release

From premeditation in sentence

To invent

To engage nomadic material strategy

To travel and rest in-between

Publishing

Curatorial practice

Photography

Education

As psycho-geographic bridging of glocal

I want a work plan

Bring forth an underlying lesson

Without an end in sight

That I may get lost

That I may get scared

That I may find other ways to face creation

Which is about-facing death

I want a work plan

To be a garden

In some short time for you

To smell flowers blooming

From Black brains
