2,650 SYLLABLES OF AUTHENTIC REFLECTION [2026]: These three cantos cut to the deepest parts of my life. They're basically my autobiography. Nothing else could be more important about my experience on this planet than what's expressed in these approximately 2,650 syllables. Mode: >.75

THE WORLD DIVIDES INTO FACTS [2025]: Reimi and Buddy share what can only be deemed God-given honest opinions that they have every right to express on their trip to East Asia. Then Reimi and her sister Nikke take in an anonymous French Mannerist's painting. Finally, Reimi shares with Buddy a particularly noteworthy month-long dip into insanity her sister Nikke recently endured. Mode: >.75

KOREATOWN BOK CHOY [2025]: Jo Yu-Ri hires this well-endowed Greek demigod named Priapus to help cultivate her bok choy in Midtown Manhattan, but he's kind of promiscuous? Is that an issue? Or do her and her friend Araqi fundamentally misunderstand the nature of numbers? Mode: >.75

THE MADNESS OF A CLOUD [2025]: Cloud Strife spends a couple getting shitfaced at 7th Heaven with Barrett, Tifa, and Aerith. You know, just shooting the breeze... Mode: >.667

MECHANISM & DIALOGUE [2025]: A long narrative poem consisting solely of spoken dialogue by Ingo S, an adroit remote viewer, and the entities (a school bus sized orb, floor fan, and a tic tac shaped "UAP") he encounters during his various out of body sojourns.

$14.28 IS MORE ATTRACTIVE THAN $14.00 [2023]: John Hawkes rightfully noted the superfluous nature of plot, character, setting, and theme. In addition, Symeon The New Theologian's The Divine Eros was certainly an epic poem. Mode: >.667

METROPOLIS + ISOSCELES [2021]: My first foray into long-form probabilistic texts after I had a curious dream in April of 2021. Adam Metropolis and Larry Isosceles, two moderately opinionated Greek theologians, share their thoughts on the true nature of the number 1.99999 repeating and various theories of the so-called Western world. Mode: >.667

FEELINGS COME FROM GAIN OF FUNCTION LABS [2024]: Rhyming poems

12 TONES OF TUMULT: A COMEDY [2023]: Two MUFON investigators investigate a strange series of incidents involving microtonal pianos.
