By Christopher Stackhouse

Understand form and make due with form.
This is a new page, thusly a new idea or
at least a different one than the one on the
preceding (preceding?) page. Spelling. Telling.
A train comes, still blanks, still pushed against
the lense. Culture. Look at it wiggle in the dish
out of its jean jacket onto an industrial tile floor,
to build a titanium house folded like a napkin.
