Da vergißt Pierrot die Trauermienen

Late this afternoon, when it was already dark and raining, the mail brought me a copy of Mythic Delirium #25. It has a striking silver-substrate cover and contains my poem, "The Description of a Wish." The title is actually from Wittgenstein: "The description of a wish is eo ipso the description of its fulfillment" (Die Darstellung eines Wunsches ist eo ipso die Darstellung seiner Erfüllung). It's commedia dell' arte slash. I am guessing that was not what Wittgenstein had in mind.

It's anyone's guess what he would have made of the rest of the issue, too, but since it contains Sofía Rhei and Lawrence Schimel's "The Magic Walnut," Rose Lemberg's "The tenured faculty meets to discuss the Moon's campus visit," Rachel Manija Brown's "An Unkindness of Ravens," and Mari Ness' "Silence," to name a very few, I think he'd have missed out if he didn't pick up a copy. Same goes for you. Even if you don't like philosophy.
