New Poem: the game

This poem came to me today and it took about two minutes to get it down. Then I rearranged a few lines and changed a few words as I typed it up. Simple and sweet. Love it when it comes like this.

the game

fat robin hopping closer
closer
do you not see the fatter cat
perched atop the box
frozen
spying your every move
calculating
estimating
come closer it says
hand on the doorknob
to prevent a slaughter
sudden flash of movement
fat robin lifts to the top of the fence
fatter cat stops and observes
this game will replay
hunter
hunted
observer

notmovingpictures Episode 096: Zines Out The Wazzoo

I've been meaning to upload this episode for at least two weeks but something else always comes up to consume my time. Until now that is.



This is a zine-centric episode if there ever was one. First I've had a piece selected to be in a zine for the first time ever, then I talk about the upcoming Hard Copy Zine Faire in Tulsa towards the end of the month and then go into all of the resources out there for zinesters and what a great source Xerography Debt is for finding perzines. I close it out with talk about going to Memphis and how I hope to find some zines while there. Of course I ramble on throughout and almost get a lost a time or two but hey, it goes with the territory. Before I forget, I also talk about the amazing novella Hammers On Bones by Cassandra Khaw whom I am now a big fan of. There are not enough words for me to say how much I enjoyed this novella. There, that should be enough, listen to the episode, alright?

Opening music: Alloy - Live To See The Day
Closing music: Kinoko Teikoku - Bouquet With Sea
