real crosswords are not done online. they are not aided with google's army of spiders marching delicately across the entire invisible world. real crosswords are done with memory and pen. ink is unerasable. this, all of this, is just an experiment. the things we say, critical moments where we choose to or choose not to act, tiredness, drunk words talked to yourself in the mirror of a bathroom, wrong picture painted, paper covered floors, misplaced t or r. these are not revokable. they might, as the patterning of motifs on canvas be resurrected in a new light and time, but words are never revokable. maybe forgettable. but no one wants that. functionality is a feather precariously placed on the tip of a ball point. ink that sticks thick to the white delicacy of its virgin prongs. i'm not sure about its origin. where the thickness first came from. but i am as words tested permanently into the porous fabric of space. a crossword. cannot hide from the lasting of words. everything is digital nowadays.
