I am really taken by the 'Couple of drafts from Radio Nostalgie', Chris.

Thay seem to be straight realistic takes from a slightly skewed world, just
aside from ours. The sentences move forward with a fine sense of grammar &
rhythm while never quite becoming normal. The images skew neatly too, just
off the scale of the known.

One line I think had a typo:

 Or losing cartilage in oiled evenings us we sit

'us' = 'as'?

        How, but thru a monstrous 'specialism', the so-called authority
        of erstwhile 'professionals', have we come to leave
        _breath_ out of images and _images_ out of breath, anyhow?
