24-hour chapbook: Hour 18

The first more or less complete poem:

                    and scatter the words like
          yarrow sticks or entrails
there are no secrets:
          pluck the old man hairs
                    from your ears.
Get up.

No idea what to call it. In the chapbook format I've designed, this takes up 3 pages. Which means 21 to go. And now it's time to do other things. This is harder than I thought. But interesting.

Anyway, I took the eGnoetry text from the Abilify page and "The Girl Without Hands" and added a few lines of my own (in bold) and spliced in a favorite line from a Mission of Burma song ("Mica," from Vs.).

Of course, one reason why this is taking so long is because I'm taking the time to comment on the process and write the HTML into the poem so I can represent it faithfully here. But the rules of the game clearly state that 24 pages must be completed within 24 hours regardless of any obstacles, self-imposed or otherwise. We'll see.
