Night shift smells like cardboard

The shed south of town is tubes, belts, and the week the truck was late.

We filmed the gap. The board had asked for abundance. The belt was not abundant.

They used the short pictures in the meeting. That was the point of calling us at four.

No music under the belt. The sound is already the place.

The desk sits on Strada Stefan cel Mare, across from the bus park. The people who call are growers, stall holders, and the depot. A brief that wants a styled kitchen goes somewhere else. By ten in summer the dust is on every face. We shoot before it, or we leave it. Cleaning a Cahul morning until it looks imported is the mistake we stopped making.
