Poetry. The title refers to the Russian Constructivists. Fuller's writing has a lucid and at the same time hallucinatory quality as if pressing one's/his reciprocal relations to the world so closely that "they" appear spectrally but exactly: "That this act distorts me is a function, precisely, of your putative silence. Lifted above your head, thought discloses three of us. The street is rutted with life, spectrally washing hand and hand."
