little tiny review of Pearl Pirie's been shed bore,

"The mysterious financial and postal divides were crossed, and I got Pearl Pirie's "Been Shed Bore" from Ottawa.The promos are packed with some very complex tropes and ricochets somewhat like post-av, but inside I found some highly refined linguistic acrobatics, riffing, and lang-flirt as in "just kiss me then":
"...
a tangle, a lip of the tongue,
some flaw in the ointment
the flu in the augment? more/less
the fly in the argyleness,
the flay in the target, bite some
sorry for that sleep of the tonne
..."
Maybe it was the dire week, but the
clever little 10-20 line engines
of brilliant sass hit the spot this weekend."
