Your Dishonor – Postcard Microfiction
My first real postcard poem in a while. I guess I’ve grown a bit bored with the precomposed printed text blocks so I’ll be doing these again. But it’s election season and I’ve got stuff to advertise so I won’t be entirely giving up on the precomposed text blocks.
Latest iteration on my business card + Excerpted poem “We”

A Typology of Voids
[…] the hypothesized taste of words left unspoken, the clear light of Buddhism, the mass dimension of those mega trillions of photons, & the lack of mice in unset traps.
In aping the rhetoric of others, one accrues signifiers one never intended, while by following the feet before you, […]
News on the Green Transition
[…] Although the principles of international climate diplomacy suggest that poorer countries, being less responsible for climate change, have less duty to go green, many face strong economic incentives to do so anyway. Most countries in the global south are energy importers, and therefore must use scarce foreign currency to buy oil and gas. […]
