"Please read this NOW. It's brilliant."

—Tim Peterson, Mappemunde

Scenes from ZERO READERSHIP :

" I am super conservative when it comes to space station hygeine"
" the voices I hear in my washing machine as I paint them"
" I think of your Belgrade as a different social notation"
" Then we went to Black Grass"
" to get laid like ink"
" the trams taken through Belgrade during the war when tramrides were
free"
" Belgrade in a crater"
" emails of the dead! Writing you from their text pads"
" Hooray! What is time to us but a picture of space"
" halibut objurgate pjs"
" We guzzle water straight from the
bent sirens.
zing!"
" I can't study philosophy--It's disgusting--
I found a hair in my textbook!"
" and give my regards to my head when you see it in the lettuce!"
