fact or fiction
Is it fact or merely fiction? Fact or Fiction explores the myths and beliefs we hold about what makes a good poem and the poetry rules that were made to be broken.
The Capitalism of Desire
desire is to lick, just a little, the back of the blue poison dart frog. desire is to look at lanky legs floating in lefkas. desire is to follow, through the far-flung corners of chefchaouen, bald heads squirrelling away crumbs of blue salvia. desire to drop the base. a circus in flames. after many moons, and a few drinks, a feather in the smoke resembles the face of a white man howling, chanting, raving, wanting to know how to sleep while his feathers are burning? white-faced empty melodies of shares and rock for stock exchange, coal seam gas, uranium, iron ore, a bed of cold hard coal. a cobalt fact is the prettiest element. how can they dance while the menagerie is collapsing? how can they sleep while the clowns are crying?
