Begin anywhere.
- John Cage
You seek solace in idioms and run smack into a blank stare.
The exigencies of Helvetica provide little comfort
as you consider the caveats of typographers
and the roadworthiness of long distance truckers
who are here for the free ride.
A typeface with élan will spring you from ubiquity
and into the world of graphic comics
where a curve is a curve at your beck and call
and the moon ready willing and able to deliver the latest
in fashionable footwear.
And you thought perhaps this was make-believe?
A pretend-pudding if you will?
Buying into that sort of thing could spell onomatopoeia
and a trip to the mall rivaling Rimbaud's A Season in Hell.
