Six Poems
Mark Young
Making cryogenic ice cream
Whimsical objects. Pumpkin
logo. A study on trumpets.
Serious again. Orbital satellites,
migration of metals. The field is
sparsely drilled. Framed prints.
Gradient color. Low stress
abrasion. Wakes to a dystopia.
What does water vapor mean?
User pays
Relevance, or the
scattering of benefits
to any-or everyone
so that they pay
attention. A band
comes marching down
the street. No-one is
there to greet it since
no benefit accrues.
transient gryphons
The reduction of nitrate led to a
low-level dynamic revolution in
some game scenes. Turns out knee
& shoe buckles cannot overcome
nature; nor can boilers & coffee
pots. But even though laden with
timber & wood goods from British
ports in America, any well placed
vessel can shoot down a drone by
using a prototype laser weapon.
Mist
“I have the same con-
cerns.” She put her phone
back in her bag. It was
nearly one o’clock. He
cleaned the ashes out
of the barbecue pit. The
sky was darkening with
rain clouds. It was time
to put the ice cream out.
the van brakes
No pains should be spared making
a cup of coffee or negotiating
stairs. Practical blockchain is a
delicate trend, so much Scandi-run-
way & street style technology packed
with sought-after labels that delight
in quirky fashions. I might have to
look at increasing the voltage output
to lessen the losses on the front surface
& allow for human augmentation.
jars full of bathtub gin
We made haste & scrambled
eggs. It was icy for us; but, hand-
wrapped in brown paper &
tied with a silk ribbon, became
great everyday home décor.
You know how the song goes.
