Louis Armand
Logic of Scarcity
the plot requires messengers of truth; slumped beneath the target range—news
begins to trickle in from the out-
lying areas (each one
reacts differently)—there is no way of
knowing who is responsible
for our current
state of affairs—the word
following the hyphen describes
the bottom surface, where the search party
never looks—in the village square
a haul line attached
to each end of a forcing
frame, runs endlessly through sheaves; dry
as an enemy’s
humour—mouths stuffed
with indigestible platitudes; feeding
the cut harvest to
bonfires, will regulate the
gut tariff—hungry to approve
the flames that lick the hand that mocks
& the hand that pays
