hideous likeness


From the circlejerk to the circular firing squad, is but a step.

In the box.

Blind eyes straining to tell the future
far velvets, lost itineraries

crossed contrails
directly beneath the sun

dimmer the names
& just how they figured

in the plot

"I read an interview with a Chinese asylum seeker to Australia who was present at the Tiananmen Square massacre. He ran home and told his family what had happened, what he'd seen with his own eyes. They believed the TV news instead." --@nicolapedia via @KameronHurley

" It is great that words find me, that they flutter down onto my shoulders and hands like I’m a Disney princess."

We know we'd rather die of poison than share the world with bugs. But we want our poisons to smell pretty, too.
