Reading Dynamics
Having run through
Ten thousand years of history,
And finding myself
Myriad pages ahead of where
I would normally have been,
I now felt strong enough
To demolish everything—
Even that immense blank wall slowly
Building up inside me.

Dressed to Kill
From a distance, the well-dressed
Man approaching was an unknown—
As he came closer, I couldn’t believe he was
That shepherd in galoshes I saw
Each morning hard at work at his stable,
Up to his knees in mud and manure.
Holy shit—this man now walking
The streets looked so unbelievably
Clean-cut and innocent he looked
Just like one of us,
A sheep in wolves’ clothing.
Doppelgänger Ascendent
So far, so good but
There's one thing I have to tell you
Before I leave the summit—
You’re going down with me.

Trying to Find the Right Word
No—
In the bureau of the abandoned,
Stark is not the word
For these photographs,
Stark is never
Stark enough.
