Exhibit A

Exhibit A – September 27, 2018

This short, experimental & imaginative piece is written in a blended format of a metes and bounds survey, a PLSS deed, and creative writing. This piece begins to explore the bland unspoken within land ownership in the small Midwest, and will someday be expanded in both in length and depth.

A deed is given the name ‘Exhibit A’ when it is included in a mortgage or other legal document.
