"Giallobrutalism," or why everything looks like that.

At one time i wanted to write a book about how the aphoristic philosophers provide a separate tradition from the systematic ones but i gave up on that idea, partly because the pre-Socratics who seem to have started it may have been nothing of the sort, only remembered in excerpts; & when being excerpted by someone else is the tradition, it’s only a kind of reading.

The S of the Snarl.

      "the boxes things come in"

glim absence · glaucous sky
   parables of sixish
symmetry's marplot · heavy on my mind
   like when you put change back
in a loose shirt pocket · then pat for it
   & it's not there now

"Aphorisms will always be niche."
