"The problem (one of the problems) with using mutants as a 1:1 metaphor for marginalized groups is that they're simultaneously an oppression metaphor and a power fantasy." --@edidin.bsky.social
febrile brillig · abrupt snare
the case to be made dwindles
still we strive · over corrugated
mem'ries, the fruit of retrospect
dead malls speak · spent inundation
tell a sorry return
trite betrayals · authors reread
have nothing much to say
brillig-colored sky · opals that look like
topaz, knowledge that will perish
in splendor & the sluice · slathers contempt
a gravelly hardware stop
i walk · where words wither into
empty & emptier shelves
& all they will have · in the hard turnings
is that the maze was bad
this riddlesky · skims souls from the drivers
who percolate unknown
beneath it nuggets · or spooled hist'ries
of aspirations thwarted
the night draws on · i have this madwatch
i took from a cooling hand
Babel one · storey more
is lifted now & forever
by the dry river · brillig scum
accosts the passing nose
& this was paradise
