Griftopia 2

1. Imagine a poetry reading in a house that is being robbed.

2. Imagine a poetry reading in which the reader, the audience, and the people in the house are all being robbed and the reading continues.

3. Imagine this reading a number of times.

4. Imagine the reading beginning to take on the content of these surroundings.

5. Imagine the reading beginning to take on the form of these surroundings.

6. Imagine the reading beginning to move like a house.

7. Imagine that there is an interval in which the robber is going out to rob the house, and his own house is left empty.

8. Imagine poetry enters this house.

9. What, at this point, is a poem?
