machine project erasure

Friend Anthony McCann has been making poems throught the process of erasure. He recently sent me the following, using a lengthy article from the LA Weekly about Machine as the source material.

Machine Project

Medieval enthusiasts
modeled in
hyperbolic crochet
invite me to attend
an evening of
experimental heat

Tubes connect a
giant hamster
to a lawn chair
up in space

A bunch of dads
have this
fantasy
somewhere in my box

And it either
heals or
casts you
from the room
