Entry 44: Images, Emotion, Mood

Vertical, and perpendicular to the eye, they line up and make patterns of simple geometric shapes. In the colors of poppies, bananas, blueberries, and avocado, they scream when you look at them. They repeat the same words every time you peer, as though worried that you will forget the ideas. They remind you the ways to literary responses. They never move or change; they just stick to the wall steadily, never appear in a different position. They are individuals, but they relate to each other in a way. They shape the same, they all have words all over their bodies. Their meanings are different, but the ideas link to one another. When you look through them in order, it sounds like shots of ideas being thrown out; poom, poom, poom. Their think bodies made out of paper bend when taken down from the wall. Then, you can hear the wind travel while the paper is being very naughty and irregular. We make these things once in a while in every class. They present ideas in a clear, straightforward way, along with visual aids. Since we write or draw them with markers usually, when you smell them you can smell the markers. And of course, there is this paper smell that is neither bad nor good.
