MONOBLOC – Ro Runkel

February 27, 2026

what else to do in cobalt evening but sit?
day’s duration slips to morphemes of mirror gleaming,
of floor off-gassing, slick, of polyurethane

in twenty thousand years we made marmoleum,
peaked at polypropylene, needed mnemonics for
recalling stowaway consonants with bisphenol A
tickets unchecked, bisphenol A
splitting phenome what was it?

fingernails cadmium, acetone swashed and
polymer thighs creased of readymade
monobloc. grease cuts on stove
surfactants, comet of calcium carbonate and
sun, still, sun of always
