THOMAS FINK
"You Get what You Pay For"
Last August I
was behind on my
future. Proactivity: more
than urgent. I
bought that
spouse (beside the blinds). The sales advocate
was devoid of caveat
empathy, but then my
motives tend to narrow. Operating
instructions injected
a disfiguring
haplessness. You wouldn't believe what
didn't happen. (A minimum expected.)
Would a robot
act more
cost-efficient? Those in my
range exude metal – fully exposed.
Bone Television
Botched orchard.
Evaporating ground.
Branches shrinking.
Night writing
bone
television.
Stump accumulates
moonlight. Vertebrae
exhale inside
glass page.
