Entwined Review
PixelOpus (2014)
Work kept them from touching.
One buoyed the Alaskan coasts, flagging concealed ice formations that could potentially impale unsuspecting fishing boats. The other cleaved up America’s clouds, controlling commercial airplanes with abracadabra computer commands. Their routes intersected only nine times a year, on the federal holidays that each’s employer observed.
Apart, they could only FaceTime through complimentary, company-provided cell phones with plastic case protectors colored blue and orange. So their lives were spent bragging about who’d borne the harder workload, debating which unidentified substance they’d found smeared inside the lavatory, and discussing the sappiest new age albums to accompany so many samey, runny days.
Together, in moments much too brief and blurry to remember, they’d blaze higher than the sun from a sketchy, decaying dragon bong, paint watercolor landscapes with Dollar Store supplies, and memorize the mesmerizing screensaver patterns built into their off-brand 18″ HD TV.
