Cameron Lovejoy

t(r)ypophobia

typography performs         in the amphitheater at dusk

 

the moon a compact

disk on repeat, repeat

 

customers of customary margins

 

open air

 

open sky of pink cirrus moving slantwise

 

someone takes a photograph

someone turns a phonograph

someone makes a homophone

 

of the setting sun

 

the amphitheater is a yawning mouth, featuring

 

the apertures of letters,

 

the openings of the c or the s signifying space or

 

the “a” but not the a

in italics

 

or the letter O—at all

 

so much information moves through the opening

of an eye

 

the brain like a sponge

with all its little holes, trypophobia’s

 

typo phlegm, bubbles

in a cup of coffee

 

Oooooooooo

 

    Ooooooooooo

 

oooooooooo        the overture

 

begins, filling

the wind with swords

 

the audience

 

gawks, a head of lotus seeds
