Digital broadside of a poem by Jory Mickelson in ballast issue 3.4. Black text on light pink background with black curly line on right side. Text of poem reads “So maybe a hotel room's really a pastoral. It's all there right on the surface. So, pastoral with comforter & pillow. Pastoral with telephone on the nightstand. Pastoral with stranger's pubic hair on the gleaming toilet seat.”
