"A young white girl with bad tattoos was getting expertly braided by a woman in a shower cap, and I watched for a bit — the braiding was a bit like watching a Florentine master expertly re-string a lute. Art is everywhere, and some of it is good."

         "glint among matte shadows"

      flickering
   shadow shamrock
      whispering
   mutilation
smithereens summoned
sasquatch open casket
the dartk light years yeckate
coyote sips spritzer
      Mussorgsky
   coded malware
      gallop bumps
   better than smooth
the pitch made by Paddock
paltry skulk i'll take it
delete liar's contest
politer chirg ragweed
      scintillant
   surging darkness
      drove the snakes
   snazzy dumpster
derringer chess chapbook
with charred pages bordered
redbrick igloo runagate
the roost of bright stooges
      flickering
   though our wyrd flows
      castles stormed
   inside shards strewn
someone has the Sampo
circulates cloud powder
not yet scattered scry-notes
scowling like appall-solace

This is still the realest thing ever said about America.

"Time's a credible dice

Time sacred, I bled ice."
