Hearing from a fan.

"Still remember the crushing moment as a young researcher when I realised that proving something through evidence had damn near no impact on social policy unless it was politically useful to believe it." —@shrinkatlarge.bsky.social

"Dick makes imperialism in California seem unproblematic."

as i departed that depleted kingdom
at the high gate guards demanded
words, & as so far i'd mostly winged it
now something rose less random

the streetcar in the tutelary fog
will let you out in front of gargoyles
mind already ornament-surplus boggles
meets two-headed harg

& snarling angel. this is what i've learned
gentlemen; what i may not leave
encounter more bizarre than i deserve
more true, insight damascened

& what passed then between us i can't tell
but all i know that one look gave
thunder & rubies out to fingertips revv
wings in gold mesh flail—

& that's the book i left them with
shaking the dust from these unsteady sandals

"Watching the 1954 Godzilla, with its gritty black-and-white style and the gnarly radiation-scarred look of Godzilla’s hide, is like watching the Cloverfield monster wander through the cover of the first Killing Joke record."
