Rupture

March 23, 2021
a ship gets stuck in the Suez Canal.

The next day, I start a new job.

I’ve never even thought about shipping.

Within weeks, I am dropped into the deep end of global logistics and asked to swim.

My sense of scale is the first to go.

The ocean becomes a highway.

Wake

A highway becomes the sea.

Vertigo

objects begin to shape shift.
they only feign stillness.

Then…

Reckoning

the machine reveals its hand.

I had not seen them before.
