Jan folded the letter
running a finger
along its crease.
She looked up-
somebody was explaining
functionality,
She stared:
the new argument was
written on the white board
she returned to the letter-
another fold
another plane
pressing and creasing
opening
rereading
vertices missed,
words realigned.
Sentences brokered
with each new
configuration,
yet its meaning
reformed.
He- was disengaged
she- was misplaced.
Incongruent.
She rose
and left the room.
There would be
many such lessons.
