Syntax Issue 10
Denver Syntax
{yellow, see everything!}
  eric johnston



These are the places we have never been.

Flipping through your out of date guidebook,
Can we see all of the re-forgotten sites?

The trends will pass by the once beautiful gardens.

Whose history will be enough for our
Sleep crusted eyes?

The pages of your guidebook
Curl and split.

You place your grandmothers ring inside of the
Stain left by…your last beer?

The inferno people like you leave behind,
Is referenced many times throughout the leading passages.
