Jan folded the letter

running a finger

along its crease.

 

She looked up-

somebody was explaining

functionality:

She stared

at the new argument

written on the white board

then returned to the letter-

 

the fold

another plane

pressing and creasing

vertices missing

corners peaking...

 

Sighing:

 

His orientation disengaged

they were now misplaced.

Incongruent.

She rose

and left the room.

There would be

many such lessons.
