    • Bureaucratic Surrealism

      That sacred national art form where paperwork becomes myth, elephants file complaints, and the universe waits for a stamp that never arrives. Keep it dry, absurd, and unmistakably lost. The elephant’s trunkcannot be servedwithout Form 32‑B,signed by three departmentsthat no longer...

      Standing Still

      What would happen if time stood still Would a tear still drop Would the heart still beat Would that moment still be etched in memory Words can never be taken back When both cheeks are slapped there is no other to give Wounds that are...

      April 30th, last day of
