DescriptionLetterpress printed poem by Bill Berkson and Phillip Guston, titled "NEGATIVE".NEGATIVE
The door. If you pull it it's heavy: if you push it it's hard. This push-pull contest continues until the restaurant closes and the streets are empty of all but a few passers-by. You are left wondering if just holding it wouldn't involve exactly the same level of force.
