Minimalist and patient,

Open and vacant,

Each meeting is a product unto itself

A proper

Experience

With proper

Engagement.

Mind the details.

There is an ordered set

Of implications

We will enumerate, rank and defuse.

We choose this because

There are scripted measures

Of procession.

Part ritual, part escape,

We forsake Malcolm and Theresa.

We absolve ourselves of risky

Interaction.
