someday, i want to write more like
dean allen. i mean, he’s writing about the judging the
5k competition for crying out loud:
“Scarce, I thought, were designers who embraced the
smallness; who looked it in the eye and, instead of squinting,
tried to imagine what good could come if such a space was all that
was ever made available to them. Those who see that every
container, no matter the size, can give only a portion of itself to
the carriage of something else, and that (for want of a better
word) appropriate presentation tends not to do well in crowded
conditions.”
