Supermachine Issue One (launch party in New York tomorrow) is one of the best first issues of a journal I have read in a long time. Tomorrow I will talk about the issue at large. Today, a teaser: the openings of the three Natalie Lyalin poems therein.

ALL THE MISSING CHILDREN GO TO FLORIDA

We leave milk trails for them. We say, 

follow this milky trail and we will find you.

I WANT TO LEAD ALL THESE LIVES

Someone is always screeching. In the distance husbands bring

Home orange flowers. There is orange flavored Ceylon and a

Mysterious powder and the metal oven door. [...]

TWO SMALL VAMPIRES

Dear heart, we ate snow today.

Something happened to our country.

Three fearless peasants try and fight us.

We make our way inside always.
