My Mrs complains that people don't always look at the theme, though interpretation is loose as a rabbit in July. It's an 'experimental' literary journal, which obviously means the writing should do just that! #Brazen

World is crazier and more of it than we think,
Incorrigibly plural. I peel and portion
A tangerine and spit the pips and feel
The drunkenness of things being various.

Upside, it reminded me of MacNeice: feel
The drunkenness of things being various.
