Scott Metz


Some ku


in the night’s mail
the sound of feathers
and the sea colliding

#

ea’s

ea’s e

#

&nbsp&nbsp  after the punchline
the headline
&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp  branches

#

the shattered microchips each of the children talk to a different crow

#

a room within a room within
a room an eagle
on the diplomat’s end


#

for part of the world has gone anchor music

#

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp  outside of unseasonal
disturbances within
&nbsp&nbsp  the doublespeak’s new font
