Misremember As All by Paul Druecke

Working on ways to put poetry in our path, which is a continuation of my work with public inscription. Gravity makes its presence known. from the titular poem:

control as two sides of the same coin
there is a provocative quote that i misremember as
all desire is aggression . . .

We hope you enjoy! We hope you subscribe to MK's youtube channel. Please share your thoughts, there or here. More backstory on our FB page.

The piece now sits on the edge of a bluff over looking Lake Michigan. Thanks to M Lackie for technical expertise mounting the plaque to the boulder. 6.5 hours reduced to 40 some seconds.
