Field guide No. 350
Cratered moons in the laundromat
Every machine on a different phase.
A row of washing machines in an empty laundromat each turns a moon behind its door, grey ones down the line and a big orange one at the front, paper bats taped up above. Separate your lights.
Field noteEvery drum holds a world bigger than the building around it. The sums don’t add up.

Pocket weather bureauA hurricane is weather on the scale of a coastline. One small enough for a waistcoat is not a hurricane.
Desert sand from brass mailboxesEach box holds a few letters, yet pours out a desert. More comes out than fits in.
Into the matchwoodsForests are larger than matchboxes, as a rule this specimen breaks and keeps.
Steep retreatPine forests do not fit in kettles, even ones with the lid off. Somebody is steeping one regardless.
