Vermin
The world is something dead that continues to speak and writhe. Its arteries are filled with coagulated forms of consciousness, moving against the walls and void of their host. One of these re- combinations takes root in the dissipating body/mind of a drowned bicyclist called Vermin. The consequences of civilization, of failed revolution, haunt the streets and sky. Despite this, life remains. Marty tries to get some sleep, while smoke comes in through the window. He needs to go to work tomorrow. In this harrowing novella by poet Rats Alice Trujillo, the rubble of a dystopian present serves as a backdrop for a journey to the end of the self. Outer and inner landscapes intertwine, disintegrate, aggregate. Desolate and lyrical, Vermin is a tale of pain and discovery within the slow decay of the American city.
