The Simple Alphabet
Mark Rothko was a lonely man. He spent a lot of time drinking coffee
and designing new ways to represent his least favorite shape, which was
the square. Outside the bookstore, he stared at the sign. He stared at the
doorway. He wondered, Why did it turn out that a human being’s soul is
in the shape of a square? Why this most boring shape? Why couldn’t the
human soul look like a sparkler at night in an aunt’s driveway with the
smoke of a barbeque hanging around it? But it looks like a square, after all.
Not a star with icicles of glass breathing from its nitrogen eye, not the edge
of a lake lapping gently against reeds in the fog, not a field at sunrise that
opens like a pair of hands. A square. Maybe two or three squares. So he
went to video stores and laundry mats more than museums, spent a lot of
time staring at the sidewalk. Well, he thought, at least it’s a practical
structure, and made an alphabet of square. He made squares of insomnia
and squares that looked like a father’s shoulders. He made squares like
sheets of music or trays of silverware. He made squares like his wife. He
mostly made dark squares, squares like classy night clubs or strip joints
after closing. But he also made squares like Tequila, squares that smash
the eyes in like a windshield, and he made squares that were filled with
wind from some deep canyon. That canyon is what the soul comes from,
he must have thought, and marveled at its great and terrible size, the size
that brought him to tears, then stood sighing and shaking his head outside
the supermarket’s sliding doors.
