a lil’ end-times thang
I think this short poem was published in 2012 or 2013.
It first appeared in Poetry Northwest, and then found its way to the homepage of Poetry Daily, which was a nice surprise.
The Risograph printing was done by Anna O’Sullivan and Doug Von.
eschatology
in half-filled
web fields
in amazon’s abandoned
shopping carts
as dust in dedicated servers
yer yip lives on [
you who were
a person’s habits
] — a ghosted lil’ history
(shrink-wrap a coin
it’s the same
damn coin)
rise again forgotten
usernames!
