Another excellent piece!
(Again) I’m loving the rhythm
And I particularly liked this line:
“pulling.miracles(from.clorox.air);” 🙂
The form took me by surprise, yet I worked through it and enjoyed doing so. It would be easy to dismiss what you created as an artifice, but that would be a mistake. Thank you for making me think and wonder!
