"No wise man will want to bring more long words into the world." --G K Chesterton

"If the lander set down in the equatorial region, the dominant feature of the landscape might be gargantuan spires and bladed ridges made of methane ice. Rising as tall as skyscrapers, these could be the product of the seasonal sublimation of Pluto’s icy surface as it gets closer to the sun."

dead too far gone
rooted in cobweb-sepia
a wall that tears the skin to touch
steer t'ward the sidewalk spraypaint
for passage safe
the things that would be loved by us
are not the things we love

in the growing cold
armloads of bad promisesv toss

iceberg Lafferty
still to read
& maybe not even then

comprehend
in the crooked polyverse
if it still matters

iceberg lettuce

cryptic natural object
resembling a made thing
here because
here is where i'm finding it

whole branches of knowledge
turning into smoke

"...the church of my stroll
Has the form of an owl."
