• CANTSTOPWONTSTOPTOKING

  How all roads lead here, sigilled signs every half-quarter mile My house must be Rome, size colossus Rhodes Hanging garden rose-guarded, forest behind Mary Arden Sequels to everything I wrote in an open fire roasting I erase my name from the roster to escape the rat race  I move in with big plans, vulture funds,…
