“The Metaphor”: a prose poem by Douglas Blazek (1999) (digitalcommons.providence.edu)

One word is busy constructing the others. It is a carpenter creating props for a play. It takes a rock and makes it a hat. Thus there is now a rock-hat. This stuff becomes real. All that is real becomes props while all that’s not becomes the play. And somewhere in the performance the words start whispering back to us a...

robertoqs,

I love that poem, too. I think there is more of the author’s work in the referred journal.

Local communities are coming to lemmy presumably very soon. I will be making a local only chat community when it does, let me take an opportunity to explain what that means exactly.

robertoqs,

I’ve never been much of an audiobook listener. However, the few ones I’ve listened to I’ve enjoyed very much. Excellent narration, excellent voice acting.
