Some of Gregory Zeorlin’s poems are ten words long and fit on a tiny piece of watercolor paper. That page of words and another with an image fit in a lidded tin he calls a “Ten Word Tin.” The tin is just smaller than a cell phone but it doesn't make ring tones, offer texting, twitter, or play music. The tin never needs charging although it might recharge you. This “Ten Word Tin” could start a face-to-face conversation.
This tin is titled “Throne.” It’s an image of a chair used in Zeorlin’s studio. It was bought from a junk barn even though it looked like it belonged in a burn pile. The chair had been repaired multiple times and hints about the former owners who took time to make it last. The simple chair invites rest even though it has become difficult for most to slow down and do nothing.
What do you do with this tin? Hide one under a sofa cushion at a friend’s home so it can be discovered. Use it an an invitation for a friend to sit with you. Place a “Ten Word Tin” anywhere you imagine.
