Subject: CALL FOR PAPERS


It requires several voices, even assent
requires several voices, not to repeat
but to confirm if possible, to try
a variant statement in a different way, to define

in more than one direction, a moving space
constantly pushing outward, here, then there,
then there, which becomes at all because it moves,
because it holds itself to certain lines.
