Poetry – Issue 38

•I read that the moon is rusting

My son defines time—its river, not its measure— / as the way one event changes into another.

Poetry – Issue 32

Pseudoscience

My student writes, Time is a blend of space / and time. What he means is that, to be / thunderstruck, you must jiggle the antenna / that draws down lightning.
