The "dog" behind Dog Day Afternoon. (via @sardonicus.eu)

"*'The ruins of the unsustainable are the 21st Century's frontier'

*The Gray Zone's not very sustainable. It costs a lot to maintain all those smart flying bombs, they need fuel, batteries, chips, cameras

*So what does the Post-Gray-Zone look like

*Chernobyl, maybe. 'Involuntary Park' "

Talk of the Town.

       shards falling
   never from night's
& that myth-rendered · burg excavates
as storms worsen stabsong
astute bards break timebread

       these pavements
   full of victims
these screens shine · no ripe shelter
i no-clip pinched parkswards
pullulating great wormforms

       ancient caste
   leper king built

The Age of Pope.
