Mark Young- Three Poems

Le numero de telephone de ?

The original 16mm print

was launched in 1919

& predicted the—decades

later—bursting of the tech

& housing bubbles. It's

another beautiful—& has

turned out to be the most

successful—example

of her signature sound.

freeing the hominins

The Fanservice trope, which

underpins school lunch pro-

grams, takes a hard look at

tech data claims that do not

result from human agency nor

from interventions such as free

will, moral responsibility, person-

hood, or concerns about rules.

snorting headlines

Seven people have died from 17 suspected letter bombs in China—

how the banks ignored the lessons from the rise of sneaker culture.

*

Archaeologist believes Nefertiti's resting place may be in Tut's tomb—

rural communities suffer as Govt crime strategy unravels.

*

Phytochemical helps differentiate workers from queen bees—

world leaders who have spent time living in Ireland.

*

How Ralph Lauren created an American fashion icon—

'Retired postman' is the big fashion trend at U.K. Labour conference.

*

Mural that depicts people having sex in a giant hamburger will be edited—

ecomodernism launch was a screw-up of impressive proportions.
