• It’s everywhere, it’s everywhere, this
    sign of our times. Wherever I go, I travel

    a billboard advises. Mel Gibson is said to be remaking
    The Man in the Irony Mask. Dinner tonight

    swallow vitamin and irony supplements.
    Too many ironies in the fire, Beautiful Friend says,
    his face eaten half away by darkness.
    Late Dinner, James Sallis
