’Tis in vain to counterfeitstolen goods, just as Addition

The Experiment
that is not injurious to itself

there with everything set out
for correction, yet I have never

not stolen. Anything, even
a pen or two, an anodised
green necklace.” It was
toilet paper and false Tongues
and yards and yards of gilt-edged
Truly – thirty crates of “What’s
in your pocket?” weren’t ever
enough, they knew my mother
had proof drugs aimed at the
tremors and the Evidence
told them stuff about why
I bolted and continued.
