Circulation/Reserve

Temple University has been slowly disposing of the card catalog, placing the cards out on the circulation and help desks to be used as scratch paper to write down call numbers. I have collected a number of them and use them for bookmarks, birthday cards,typewriter feed, and poems, incidentally.If you are ever near a stack of catalog cards, I highly encourage you to take them, examine them, build things, eat them, etc. There's a lot of interesting stuff on those little rectangles.

I am separating cosmic/coincidence. I am associations always. Now that the card catalogue/all is electronic, the scratch paper is old rectangles of information with a single hole punched through, begging to be rewritten.

FLOOD INSURANCE STUDY:
… Borough of Carlisle, Pennsylvania
Cumberland County

In Cumberland MD., a small town made of mostly wood paneling and church steeples, my sister was incarcerated. My mother went to bail her out, and fell in love with her public defender. He was much shorter than her usual “type.” When the planes hit in September that year, we up and moved to the mountains, northening the center of terror/fire/danger as we drove south.

…Township of Fayette, Pennsylvania,
Juniata County.

On Fayette St., my mother and the lawyer were married on the front porch of an old Victorian house we rented by the month. Her fifth, his first. One of his friends/coworkers took photos with the Polaroid camera they used at the office for domestic abuse cases. I thought of all the ugly things that it had captured and then spat into the light. They sent me to private school. I wore my skirt long and froze all winter.

17090 EHX 07/71 Waste Treatment Lagoons- State of the
Art
In an undisclosed location, we have a population of mermaids/men living happily and willingly in our State of the Art Waste Treatment Lagoon, where there is a healthy abundance of Coleoptera, Asellidae, Astacidae, and Gammaridae for their consumption. As these creatures are (roughly) half-human, 50% of U.S. labor laws apply and they are compensated on a biweekly basis, contingent upon quality of waste treatment/quantity of waste treated.

Clarifier

Our mathematicians are currently calculating in upside-down leather chairs, anchored with bricks and cinderblocks somewhere beneath the Navigable Waters of Boston Harbor and its Tributaries- Massachusetts.

Operation of The Activated
Sludge Process

To understand fully The Activated Sludge Process, one must understand the composition of Activated Sludge as well as the salvage industry what it is, how it works. Generally brown-greenish or blackish-brown in color Activated Sludge may be found in above ground gutters and underground sewage systems, occasionally on subways trains and platforms.
