The Science Project

We cut the canvas into small, perfect squares
four equal sides

placing them beside one another
in a formulated mosaic (looking nothing like the original).


Changing the art of love into the science of love

but our insistence on facts and percentages,

an inebriated desire to prove a theory

instead of making art for love's sake.
