"two geese keeping watch"
weird windows · on works of hatred
a hospital harrowed · hush hush report
battle-lines drawn · by accident of birth
it's a weariness to look · & one to look away
"I fear all this interest in 'process' is really just so much 'writing fetishism', a species of the same sickness that also gives us those horrid sculptures in American university-library foyers, made entirely out of books the librarians knew no one would ever want to read again, yet somehow imagined that by shaping them into a staircase or a dove or whatever, people who still wander into libraries by mistake or old habit might take this scrap-heap as a 'celebration' of reading." --Justin Smith-Ruiu
