Erase Issue – 29th May 2025

An erasure poem using text from the condescending and unreadable “The Chinese Have A Word For It” which I duly decided was only worth cutting up and using for this purpose.

I don’t know how to get WordPress to format text the way I would like, so have added a picture at the top of the post, followed by the original text and below, text that can be cut and paste.



each new track identifying;

each system distinguished:
require rain


immediate mobility
stores people usable;

raise issue there, not anywhere


further decree
want permission
denied key
request
and petition
test


family houses –
only register change,
report ration;

millions, a new look;
still control, still for order,
new and all available space

Let me know your thoughts
