Taper #16 : For Good Measure
Spring 2026

In For Good Measure, we count and are counted. We meditate on the spaces between labels, or consider what surfaces when binaries are blurred. We peer longingly into interrupted blue, or pixelate the sky in inquiry. We scroll the gradients and taste what slips between, and wonder what palettes reveal and occlude. We proof and season generational batches, ignite birthday wishes across a decade, and scrawl furtive fantasies encrypted from roving eyes.

Flickering truths emerge from the mathematics of measurement, and fractals fracture in bureaucratic attempts to measure the unmeasurable. We measure labor as it weaves a neverending fabric, or echoes in amplifying insistence, or crawls and infests, or ultimately consumes a life one day at a time. To pass the time, we might dive into dirt and debris seeking treasure, or layer thing-words over geological space-time. One might even consider marking time in novel increments, or racing headlong into the fluorescent fourth dimension.

Resistance itself takes measure, choreographing cycles of confrontation in solidarity. And when systems collapse, when all measures fail, what language remains?
