pick a card
What seems like magic to you?
shuffle shuffle
hearts grow weary
as the king arrives
…
any card
and all will
be revealed
for in the end
the magician knows
how to entertain
an audience
gif or jiff
What was the last GIF you’ve seen?
seeing a man
eat a door handle
made of cake
…
regardless of
how we may say
or pronounce them
the animated images
we see online
are one of many ways
to communicate with others
the parking lot
What will be there when you come and go?
downtown seattle
the concrete garden
across the lake
…
will be there
even if it’s vacant
with nothing to see
or even if it fills up
with people and cars
before and after events
the parking lot will be there
launching pad
What got you here?
the walk up
a white cotton ball
floats away
…
when one thing leads to the next
and so on and so forth
will we even wonder
if retracing our steps
that got us here
matter more than
paving our path forward?
sleep now, party later
When do you sleep?
pillow talk
the night before
the adventure
…
as time goes by
the idea that
we will miss out
on events when we
close our eyes
will all be but
a dream
for reference
What sparks your inspiration to create?
lifestyle magazine
the layout unfolds
the design resonates
…
take a glimpse
into the future

objects that inspire
and move us
towards making
something of our own
speak hear see
What are you speaking, hearing, and seeing?
approaching the edge
a picturesque waterfall
enters the cup
…
see speak hear
hear see speak
the progression
and order of things
may shift and change
however will our actions
and attitude remain the same?
captured on
How are you documenting your world?
garden bushes
the flower opens
only at dawn
…
a camera
a song
a piece of paper
a smell
a meal
the ways we imbue
the world around us
touch the water
Are you making or letting things happen?
belly up
the watermelon
in the river
…
and then
the ripples
will appear
avoid the water
and then
nature occurs
with or without us
question mark
What question is your project answering?
jingle jingle
the morning bell
beckons cows
…
every time
we start something new
such a project
or next work
there is always
a question
we try to address
its important to
What interests you?
falling rain
never to be seen
again in the pot hole
…
find the things
we are drawn towards
and curious about
for it will be these areas
that bring ourselves
to seek knowledge
and memories
speechless
What are you thinking about today?
dreaming of
drinking mikan juice
in hiroshima
…
is hard to come by
when all of our thoughts
hopes and dreams
are running around
inside our minds
even if we aren’t
running our mouths
the language
What are you trying to communicate?
an ice bath
the soft boiled eggs
let out a sigh

we speak
and show

and ourselves
the message
to deconstruct
and understand
a little rain
When do you get stressed?
loading
waiting for internet
at the cafe
___
a little pain
something
in our brain
tells us it’s a strain
but in reality
that is the nature
of the game
