brautigan's poem, with machines watching

sardonic · a steel mill smokestack mid-collapse

shake it

light through water, on the floor

aching · a raw chunk of amber with a trapped air bubble inside

pop them

queasy · a glass oil barrel miniature tipped on its side

stick it

the field between two points

draw with light

spring

the inside spins faster than the outside

pop them all

light bent by what cannot be seen

make a mess

a small signal in the dark

drag across

press it. press it again

follow

hollow · an oil slick spreading across a tidal flat

one direction only

drawn to the light

a shape that only exists when it turns

raw · fault line

tender · a cliff of descending bars

order, then the cascade, then chaos

count the prongs

the shape it has to keep

pulse, then everyone agrees

things settle

the pile keeps its own threshold

something passed through here

ribbon curled on floor — celebration left behind gently

two frequencies, bound

tap until they agree

two frequencies, close enough to argue

something is out there

two signals meeting

the moment something spans

drag the dial. most of it is noise.

listening for a specific signal
