Energy is Eternal Delight, But We Cannot Write Paradise.
Photographs of carbide furnaces
built in the 1930's are set out
equidistant on an amorphous wall
Each one a tiny Nibelungen,
a view into the history of the
chemistry of Cyanamide.
In the garden through a glass wall, a petri dish
wall as thick as a bell, thin dancers enact the
deammonation products of a hypothetical ammono-o-carbonic acid.
