Junk

Spread across

pages, junk,

detritus, hunks

of cabbage,

grape leaves

tossed in a heap

of verbiage.

Gloss,

dental floss

covered in weak

gum blood leaks

across flattened papyrus

in an antiquarian.

Land mines loose

meanings lanyard

meanderings of flowocitical curves.

We pick through minutia

with tweezers,

scissors, pluck them

in metaphorical

lumpectomizations.

Lobotomythic citation

excursions in humus.
