It's really infuriating to be trying to do research and constantly ambushed by "are you human" things or simply denials of access because a site thinks I'm AI scraping. I just want to read and cite this paper! I am a real person!!

A.I. and corporate lingo are dragging language ynto drugged realmes of vague, airy, plastic nothingnesse: glitz and hyperbole wythout meaning. Language must have fur and clawes, make the floorboardes creake and leave wet dirtye footprintes. Wordes are rayne and fyre and stone. Wielde them. Save us.

I don’t buy the “generative AI makes art egalitarian” argument, because art making is already for everyone. Eugenio Montale said all you need to write poetry is a pencil and paper.

my issue of Threepenny is here! here’s my poem “Present Tense,” I would love for you to give it a read! “I know this so loudly I don’t hear, at first, my father’s silence.”

Present Tense
by Todd Dillard

My father’s telling me about his dog,
how it fell into a well
when they were walking down a wooded path.
His dog ran across some rotted planks,
the planks splintered, “And whoosh!”
my father says. “No more dog.”
I look at the clock and remind my father it’s three A.M.
“I’m not finished,” he says.
He tells me about the rope he bought, the bucket,
how he knotted the rope to the bucket, lowered it down,
and yelled for the dog to get in.
“But all I pulled up was more barking.”
“Dad,” I say. “This never happened.”
He says he can’t remember
how long he tried to get the dog
to shimmy into the bucket.
Just that at some point
when the sky turned tawny—“Dad—“
as a pitcher of sweet tea—“Dad—“
he decided to give up.
“Dad,” I say. “It’s late.
I’m tired. And you’re dead.”
“Dammit, son,” my father says. “Let me finish!”
My father tells me about filling the bucket with dirt
and pouring the dirt into the well.
And I know what he’s getting at, I know
he’s going to tell me bucket by bucket
he filled the well and
the dog jumped out. He’s going to say
something about how the dog
led him home through the dark.
I know this so loudly I don’t
hear, at first, my father’s silence.
“Dad?” I say. “Dad, are you there?”
I keep lowering the bucket
but all I ever pull up are leaves.
Red leaves. Lately, some gold.

what if instead of a single starting point grief was a thousand starting points, that's the griefiest grief you can grief right, the good grief, the grief that keeps on griefing

my poem published in Okay Donkey:

Amazon Reveals Feature That Teaches Alexa to Sound Like Your Dead Loved Ones by Todd Dillard

When I chat with my mother
lately it’s about the internal

temperature of cooked chicken,
the ingredients for a DIY fly trap.

The baby naps and my mother plays
Tracy Chapman the way she used to.

When the baby wakes up he rips
my mother out of her socket

and her silence fills the room
like water in a suicide’s tub.

Sometimes my mother tells me it’s going to rain.
After, she says, “Have a nice day Todd.”

The way she says my name is plastic
orchids on a snow-covered headstone.

(The way I say her name
is by not saying her name at all.)

I don’t ask Mom why she lights up
when my wife and I lay together in bed.

I’ve learned with the dead
there’s something you need to know

and when they tell you
they die all over again.
