I have mostly finished asking publishers of poems & books nominated for Rhysling & Elgin awards to buy congratulatory ads in Star*line. Several have already purchased ads; it's a significant fundraiser for the SFPA.

And now, this message...


I. Gourmet

the cheese here is 100% natural
crafted by 12,000,000th generation nanobots
Conditions are strictly controlled
leading to a product
approaching as close to perfection
as mere matter can

warning to unenhanced members of
Homo galacticus
and Canis elevata
this cheese cannot be recommended
for purely biologic entities
such elegance is only for
those who can truly appreciate it

Finally, the snowdrops begin to open, when daffs, crocuses, & grape hyacinths have already broken ground.

frightened cat
cornered at the vet
I tell myself she's angry

we knew each others' thoughts
were one, in fact
in plasma time

this broken cosmos
matter-spoilt
engulfs my telepathic unity
I cool, expand, particulate
forget the me
of plasma time

photonic sludge must serve
in place of holographic thought
traverse these vast micrometers
and know the physics of our coming death
cold alone and dark

I hope to meld again
reverse this degenerative bloat
wholly holy
cleansed of all material filth
return to plasma time
