Screen Dump 608

Why bother the nontrivial effort to traverse text? . . .

The rom-com abandoned in a shopping cart snowstorm

with footnotes on nonergodic literature

where your only responsibilities

are eye movement and the turning of pages . . .

You continue . . . reading . . .

Iterations abound . . . and are important, yes? . . .

Taking it down a notch

much to the surprise of graveyard shift hackers . . .

the gate opens to a railroad flat

where one summer morning

you tried out various yoga positions

from a book you had found under the seat of a rental . . .

That was enough to feed odysseyites

around a fire pit later that evening

shepherding secondhand embarrassment

for the perfect balance between carefulness and carelessness . . .
