NoT NICE. E(m)pty

Relevancy extrapolated fro(M) Docile expressions, held inside wrinkles (m)ade By impregnable e(M)pty wombs & hallways. Filled by a wink. Framed by brow. Leveled by throat. Hallway: Linoleum floors waxing poetic, Echoing stares folding squints In admiration of re(M)()ved scuffs and sins. Wombs: Fetus crestfallen in mourning after Admiration To Not us the kill of Personhood.Continue reading “NoT NICE. E(m)pty”

stories from yesterday

Permanent Capital I Is debt. Earthworms As brass hooks Get it? Brass hooks As earthworms In the Dirt. Trash-can has a name Structured phonically By what’s inside. Broken glass bottles share The mirror’s aspirations. First Among Equals, is the impression Of others.

Colors are defined by placement, confirmed in relevance to reactions presented from the subject.

The site was popular among parents desirous to demonstrate the afterlife, inviting their children to, “go aheadContinue reading “Death by Design”

Dried Time, rehearsed ambivalence, required Armageddon to drop the arrogance routine. Descriptions of low entropy beguiled by failed magic, and if the universe fails it’s only in relevance to sentient subjectivity. Considering a starless sky shall greet the final element and proclaim synchronized repetition vital to what makes screaming in space special. (oxygen slacking offContinue reading “dried time”

WoMb AmBiEnCe

Conversations with Fetus avoids the intention of abbreviating music, in order to obscure an infant’s coo and demarcate birth in fractured reverb, crib skids from the bedroom to the kitchen and all the adults in the room think rhythm abides to the infant slapping pots and pans with a wooden spoon. Grandpa Jo opens theContinue reading “WoMb AmBiEnCe”

A Crown of Thorns is Still a Crown

Blades for regicide, or the mere slaughter of dictators to restrict power, subsumes moral hindsight to Homer’s pen and bullets shower as ink spills, quills, feathers and symbols of patriotic glory welcome criticism, for without it, patriots would have nothing to defend. Assassins glut themselves with pastries and gain the guilt of French revolutionaries, removeContinue reading “A Crown of Thorns is Still a Crown”
