Poems by Mark Young

A LINE FROM JERRY GARCIA

Sitting on a bench at a local café
Heidegger criticized the current
prevailing philosophy of "Beat the
rush & apply for your child's birth

certificate early," describing it as
equivalent to the pencil-&-paper
efforts of someone who can't draw.
What happened to the brain? he asked.

What happened to exercise, to pick-
ing up new hobbies? Why are these
euphemisms being bandied about?
A death is authentic, despite the

lack of candles. It is an heirloom we
will all inherit. Straightforward in
its description. Unless, of course, you
can contribute a better translation.

Clearly, this is a bowl. Or,
perhaps, a cylinder seal with
schematic workings. Could even
be a noun denoting substance
& subject to authoritative &
up-to-date scholarship. That’s
why finding the provenance of
an old favorite item is often a new
way to conceive a creative work.
Here's another silly dance track.
What do you like to do for fun?


MEANWHILE, ON WALL STREET

Under that untidy
& diffuse body of
essentially feudal
law that binds the
U.S. Postal Service
to something app-

roximating reality,
the book, How to
Quit School & Get a
Real Bisphosphonate-
affected Guinea Pig
, is
now not classed as

a statement of intent
but as a congruence
of theoretical
orientation. Broker-
ages are viewing the
scrip as undervalued.


YOUR ORDER IS NOW EQUIPPED FOR SHIPPING


A man runs through London's
Hyde Park. Footage of the im-

mediate aftermath was shared
on social media & now experts

want pork pulled over cancer
concerns. There are important

things to note: summoning
glyphs is completely hereditary

& the Red Sox have no one to
blame for failing but themselves.
