Apocalyptic Napkin

  • The circular spray of lowercase gammas = gulls and Cyrillic yas = waders represents the wetlands that finally won out over the nuclear power plant
  • Le Cheval is the inspiration for the myriad crude-sucking mosquitoes liberally scrawled on the periphery
  • Around the spray three meandering lines that merge and braid into one thick rope limping toward the corner
  • A mountain rises there en silhouette and a red crayon flecks the massif with a dusty veil
  • Within an hour twisted paperclips and brads, nimbly drawn, wreathe the mountain from its base to just below the top
  • An antique cardsharp sits on top, dealing another hand
