How to Rewrite the Fly
Counterclockwise fidget
Aluminum; citrus drop
Down menu; otherwise gyroscope
In other direction; palpate; a pupa
Platter exclaim; level two now
Egress; altimeter forlorn gravity
Now clock; unwise and unwell;
Barren the part into; in more;
Crack round the Flemish; issue
Issues issued; no suede no;
Cornflake is not ratified; catapults
Rearrange calligraphy; outside
Milk buckets go;
Aluminum; citrus drop
Down menu; otherwise gyroscope
In other direction; palpate; a pupa
Platter exclaim; level two now
Egress; altimeter forlorn gravity
Now clock; unwise and unwell;
Barren the part into; in more;
Crack round the Flemish; issue
Issues issued; no suede no;
Cornflake is not ratified; catapults
Rearrange calligraphy; outside
Milk buckets go;
How to Misread Borges and I
Joshua Bird (he/him) continues to saturate the I of his I with a salvaged IBM Selectric II typewriter. His ontological speaking voice will misfire before our very eyes. He once was a mild-mannered birth certificate, apocryphal or otherwise. When not writing, he can be found sleeping in a simulacrum. Visit joshuabirdpoetry.com for further self-defenestration.
