what is the difference?

consumption,
stainless steal appetites.
primadonna, out front and back here.
steam vent, searing dish heat,
makes the machine move.

fire and fish,
that's all they seem to want,
apart from more, now, and faster.

sixhours sixmintutes and sixseconds
can be summed up in dollars, but not expense.

the hum of a compressor vibrates my back
just enough to remind

it is interesting to hear your new life as described by the old, always, you.

That last line is the kind ov thing that keeps you going...

the world is going up in flames

blue flame, retardent in the gaze
the hand is a body
and i am a body of hands.

that is all they see,
thats why monkeys do not speak...
the would be put to work just like the rest of us
simple props used for crutchs

heals in lust listlessness
another envelope to shove a memory in
past the contentconcrete

and how
howl.

Do you have a website at all? If not, want me to host some of your writing?
Want to put this in the zine?

I might try to do a bit of art to go with it, time permitting, if you like.

As for what else to write for it, I still dont have a specific direction. Its going to be art focused, but will also have some reviews and articles on politics and whathaveyou. If you want to write some short fiction, go for it, if you want to talk about something, thats cool too. I'd say keep the first bits reliatively shortish (a page or so max?).

Tell Jess she's welcome to send stuff too.
