by Matt Hetherington
‘The thinker is locked in a cage and paces indefinitely between four words.’ An Anagrammatic Response to Paul Valery here is ink, and the key that hangs in air like an infinite thread there is archetypal death and the dark honey needing lips the thinker chases space, tinkers, dreams then plays an early, defiant hand each faces their dicey age, and learns the escape that lies inside seeds at peace, they find a degenerate idea clear, stately, and freeing and their transcendental typing ends easily
