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.

Right I am doing the thing. The drumming my own drum thing. And I have a request: Could I ask the hivemind for some feedback on my first poetry chapbook?

I already found things I would do differently...
