deep down i still have a sliver of faith that sarah will come out of retirement and maybe go to an indie promotion and she and nikki can finally have a match together (and also kiss and get married and)

The poetic must enter discreetly from a side door. The trick as a writer is to carry on straight-faced and unassuming in the language on display that suggests dark corridors without signage flashing there. The reader once deep into the place you have made now wanders curious into the shadows where the language’s pareidolia takes root as suggestion. The poetic ought be a cue for something agitated in the reader and never contained starkly on the page. Writing is a ransom note relayed through telepathy for a future crime the reader enacts, a subtle two-hander displaced in time. There's no poetry without an accomplice.
