SILK

words shimmer

here

the light is different

we can call it

"evanescent"


there is no

page in

that old paper-smell dictionary

sense of the word

just

what we have here

a few hexi-

decimals away from

a ream of binary


and what then

is the fuzzy

logic of

this: if I

were to write "silk"

what

gratification do you feel?
