"Instead of being turned into a symbol, a monument, Checkpoint Charlie--that mythical door to a better, imagined, utopian life, where people were killed as they tried to pass the barrier, where they waited to get across just to glimpse the other kind of life, something that they called freedom and were prepared to pay for with their lives to taste it--is a flea market." --Slavenka Drakulić


"The Zen of Rubik's Cubing"

1.
they threw dangerous candy at him
sedimentology
didn't help
if the origin
of forklift regolith
flossing
windmills on top of skyscrapers
and scaled quails'
iridescence on blind concrete

Balthazar
commissar of fire ants

2.
to aspire to be
not one of the scornful ones
a garbage tidal wave
is surfed

3.
turbulent the way
if it is onward
fine mist in the half light

the lawn precisely edged
wipers almost not needed
don't want radio

endorse
endorse plenty
endorse plenty drizzle

walk without acknowledging the rain
