Flying Saucer Nest
The hoaxer thought humanity
pathetic enough in taking
his wheatfield machinations
for alien outreach, but up

“We need books that affect us like a disaster, that grieve us deeply, like the death of someone we loved more than ourselves, like being banished into forests far from everyone, like a suicide. A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us.”—Kafka (against the safe-space cancel culture pushed by anti-art bullies, left and right)
