Jasper Brinton


 
moue
 
Outside
appearances are outages
invisible pigmentation
consider writing time split
cracking shells split nuts
exclaim today’s catalogue
dear reader—inks are heavenly
someone’s arbitrary constancy
before the poor terrapin
tergiversates the landline
and if hereabouts the list dulls
try a new pinch of dry herb
effacement builds the kernel
the log for surrogate paper
