On Spinal Tap


Books talk together.
I have heard this.
You have too.
You see,
amidst sentences
not (in) between

into serials.

Footnotes are added at the end.

type-set in New Order.

Of course,
it has all been said before,
and yet
it seems as if nobody is really
on the same page,
or reads
between the lines,
between covers
under the sheets
on the walls.

How we prop up
the spines
tells more
of our posture
than the Titles
given.
What can be
gleaned from our
rough-deckled edges?
