Mark Young, Selected Work


Flockmeister, image by Irene Koronas



retrograde condensate

As a flockmeister / most
of her caprices involved
the works of Patrick White.

Hands neatly tucked away out of sight.

                    It is very important at the
            beginning to send out a DVD
                       of a Nuclear Blast — deliberate
              capitalization — to demonstrate
                    the true character of retro-
                 grade dogmas. (Amos, 5:24)

MICE — meetings, incentives, conventions &
exhibitions — become a hazard for drivers.

Try adding more information.
Unfortunately, too many com-

the usual pit-head working

I shot this great buck in Kansas.

I am riding the funicular, one that runs
on waste water. The elephant on the seat

who still has a pouch attached to his nose

bargain basement prices with a 10 cent
surcharge refundable when you return the

container they came in. I turn my back on
them, preferring the corner desk slightly
outside the apothecary's monocular visual
field. A mime climbs on to the trapeze. I
cannot make out what they are saying to
me. I gesticulate back at them. They smile.
