MARK YOUNG
A line from Méret Oppenheim
I've been on this boat many times.
I've learned some marinas are nicer
than others. This one is a two-story
church trimmed in brown fur, an
event space of exposed beams, pen-
dant lights, terrazzo flooring, &
cathedral ceilings. It has a Masonic
Lodge on the second floor & a post
office next door. On the other side
stands a rat holding a slice of pizza. I
love these furry creatures that bring
the inside out to make reality of ideas.

My Snapchat isn't working.
Corn husks & potato skins
have caused it to jam by
creating a starchy paste similar
to type 1 diabetes. I need help.
Motion sensors undermine the
metabolism of my underwear.
I ring up NASA who send me
a counter-intuitive brief titled
Generating Smooth Motions For
Robotic Manipulators & Other
Palindromes. Now my teeth
start hurting. Snapchat still
isn't working. I log out of my
account & log back in as The
Book of Mormon tells me to
do. It resyncs my local snaps,
but with someone else's server.
