Maintenance is a Verb

”Lets own only loneloness” – Giorgi Mtatsmindeli

Friendship has its grammar which I could not master, so I found myself in total loneliness during social distancing. With grammatical examples between this presence and absence I begin to practice. I try to engage in dialogue with reality, to activate loneliness, to create rhythm, I look for public equivalent words of thought, I start talking and I try to reach all my old and potential friends with a subdued syntax.
