KNIT INK (AND OTHER POEMS) -- “I’ve seen people able to do perfect bottom deals at casino poker tables for 100 thousand dollar stakes, under heat. I’ve seen people able to do bottom deals at illegal mob games where everyone was carrying. This poetry is only a bit safer but way, way harder. And impresses me more. I love it.”
— Penn Jillette

THE PRINTING PRESS (Palindrome)

Repaper:
I snap, my tone placid.
A rare vellum knits art,
no coil of fires....
Midst no felt tome,
we gape, we gage, we page,
we mottle fonts.
Dim serif,
folio,
contrast,
ink,
mull ever a radical pen....
O, tympans!
I repaper.

SISTINE CHAPEL (Anagrammed Lines)

Rome. Along a gold Sistine Chapel,
Michelangelo paints a God's lore.
On the solar ceiling: Gospel. Adam.
Theological promise and angels.

THESPIANS (Words Containing ‘the’)

These thespians soothed
the gathering. They breathed — then
the theatre breathed.

IT CAME FROM OUTER SPACE (Anagrammed Lines)

It came from outer space —
a comet of imp creatures;
a curse of meteor impact —
to permute a cosmic fear,
to cap our mesmeric fate...
