JUSTIN LOWE Justin Lowe lives in a house called Doug in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney where he edits international poetry blog, Bluepepper. Justin has just completed a collection of short stories while his ninth collection of poetry sits on the publisher’s desk.
The Plebiscite they are let loose into the maze of the world,
like little mice they scurry about pawing at the dead ends.
the occasional rat of an adjective is thrown in, voracious as a meme while the newsreader paws at the whiskers of his syntax. they bite and snarl and proliferate more verb than noun
until the little mice are almost too frightened to make a peep.
this is when those conducting the experiment, the ones grasping for a new understanding, find themselves unable to elucidate their intentions,
language itself having become the maze.
