wRITING

erasure at the site
of who one is

catnip snacks
knit mice are more popular now
brightly colored commerce working

a living room that smells of money (wINK)
you know

as the end comes
we're inside out

my clIT calling day o

what are the implications of a radiant
convergence of inFORMation and aesthetics

contemporary carnival of grotesque tolly
the mark up's double

silence
kitties danglING
plane overhead
voices at tHE countER
