This poet reminds me of Suzanne Buffam of the “Little Commentaries” section of The Irrationalist. A distinguishing characteristic is the turn. Here is one in full — I like how the title reads as a first line so that the whole is structured like a miniature ode with strophe, antistrophe and epode.

The highway patrol often overestimate
the speed of a car painted redPersons subject to leadfoot
often drive red-coloured cars
David Bromige. Tiny Courts in a world without scales.
And for good measure one from Suzanne Buffam. One that also provides a turn.

People who commit suicide don’t fail to believe in life.
They fail to believe in death.
One could gorge oneself on such epigrams.
And so for day 1048
