This isnt a good sign. I fear that because KCH relies on federal funding. That they will kick out people like me or anyone not white enough. These are terrifying times! And i wish i knew it was going to be ok. But i have my doubts. #Federalfunding #WashingtonState #DoWeHaveAFuture?

Cover of a poetry pamphlet, the title is "For the hypothetical aliens". It is orange and worn, like an old document folder, and it has some sort of security stamp declaring the contents top have been reclassified "Non sensitive"
View of the whole, opened cover of a poetry pamphlet called "For the hypothetical aliens" and with a logo proclaiming it is from "Literal Fraud Press". It carries the image of fake wear and tear, with particularly deep scratches on the back...
An inside page from a poetry pamphlet showing the start of a poem: _The universe speaks to you_ I - Water... ...flows, but has no thought of flowing. Every droplet of rain free to follow its weird find its level bead the underside of a leaf, the whole nonetheless adding up to moorland brook, burbling here and now and in a single direction. Far downstream, current toys with grit does not imagine things better if this pebble were elsewhere but nags at it wobbles it urges it to move and a mere thousand years later a mighty estuary deltas one side of the continent. The stream meanwhile is cutting a new channel through the limestone ridge. Each molecule is part of something larger and doesn't know or things it knows do not make sense. Water's unfeeling mechanism floods a city or builds an ecosystem and even if the outcome of civilisation is nothing humans comprehend it will be that rich.
