"We were only just in time to prevent the assassination at Hartlepool, and that was entirely due to the fact that our Mr Wilks (a smart young fellow) thoroughly understood a triolet." --The Man Who Was Thursday

"It is the stuff of dystopian nightmares."

here awaiting · what follows
   the morning grows clear
my thoughts thole · the thirstless tide
as if legions · languidly jostled
or plots concocted · their cast loops
here that is rounded · in a rude book
holding all · in an armature of words
i witness & surmise · more than one myst'ry
   curling with the smoke-shreds
like the grim grains · of my own past

Decimation of NASA.
