Offworld peristalsis

Men's design is happening faster than
at any other time in short-term memory.
Everything in heaps, spilling out every-
where, a series of muscle contractions.
Genre: Drum & Bass. Musicians: Robots
designed to emulate the locomotion of
worms. Most efficient response: Open a
CMD prompt as administrator & execute
any relevant command. Usual outcome: A
black buildup in pipes. Poor water flow.
A line from Patti Smith
geographies Caniambo
People's attitudes are not
stable, are always in a state
of adjustment, subject to
change by social influences.
A need is felt, free of chem-
icals, certified fair trade.
Handmade by myself. De-
cide on the color you want.

The horned parakeet looks like a
tiny green dragon. It also resembles
the common squirrel. The simplest
way to preserve such small species
is to put them, wings folded back, in
a glassine (stamp or coin) envelope.
A rolled up tiny piece of paper is put
in the opening of the envelope & set
alight, then allowed to drift out onto
the vast, often brown-colored, plain.
Via Dolorosa
Goya's Boy Toy
The wailing or
the wall, rising
clear out into
a corona of
crows' cries. Keys
synchronized with
paper shredders.
Transcribe the
debris. Un-
wanted amulets.
