Who needs cohesion when you have multimedia?
The last poem in the February issue of Poetry is a lovely one-sentence gem: “Song of the Egg” by Deborah Warren. I won’t reprint it in full but here are the first three lines as a teaser:

within the egg’s imperfect O
a bantam little shadow– death
I miss our old car, which is probably the size of a television set by now. I miss its 11-gallon gas tank, impeccable turning radius, fold-down seats that extend the trunk space, and manual transmission.
Bye bye again, lovable hunka junk.
And, here is a video of a kitten that I sort of know. It plays fetch. This clip is what her owner, Marie, refers to as “Extreme Fetch.”
