“Dear editor,
I asked an algorithm designed to mimic patterns it had learned through the plagiarism of billionaires if it could spit out something that looked convincingly like the stories it had stolen, and it burned through an ocean to deliver whatever this is. Thank you for your consideration.”

these are worth the click!
I had three poems go live in On the Seawall yesterday. One of them is "Metal Rat" which is a meditation on metal rat infestations.
"I want the ineradicable in the palm of my hand.
The tiny pinprick claws. Those fine-tooled wires of the face."
