In companion with the exhibition: Hand's Tide
from LEFT HAVING
by Jesse Seldess
If I left the ending for you
Until the others present can find it
The sun will already have gone down
At a slow pace refraining the ending
Starting off but not coming to an end
Beginning with a sound but not ending
I interrupted myself
Or broke signaling distance just now
Beyond the scattered signaling
The distance just now
Scattered inexpenses further
It tried regardless
Distance just now reaching us
With features just now reaching us
As it had tried to be features regardless
As it had tried to be regardless
Regardless the distance broke signaling
No matter regardless the distance
No matter regardless the insistence
Or the phone ringing nor writing down
Or rather broke features by signaling
More matter broke by signaling
Or rather broke by signaling
Nor matter broke by signaling
Or rather the airwaves broke signaling
Or matter the airwaves spoke signaling
No matter the airwaves broke signaling
And which sent a broke signaling
No matter you had the airwaves
No matter who had the airwaves
Scattering the airwaves for you
Scattered over the airwaves
Though I left the ending for you
To further scatter inexpensively
And further scattered inexpenses
That features could crawl all over
That scattered inexpenses further
That mattered inexpenses further
That scattered inexpenses further
That scattered the airwaves further
And further across the inexpenses
Across the shattered airwaves
