Lettersize
When
I dream, I dream in 8 1/2" by 11."
When I dream, I dream in lettersize.
The
euclidean logic of four right angles
On perfect speaking terms: 8 1/2" by 11."
Rectangulating
off-white proportions defining
My 20% post-consumer waste universe.
8
1/2" by 11" is the standard document size for
Dreaming in North America.
Europe
dreams on a slightly smaller 8 3/8" by 10 7/8"
While South America dreams across 11" by 17" liberally.
Standardized
for accommodation by hanging folder,
Three hole punch, fax, and photocopier tray.
Folded
crisply into thirds, my dreams fit nicely
Into Number 10 business envelopes.
