Sinopsis

Explosion Rocks Springfield is eighty one-page iterations of the following line: The Friday evening gas explosion in Springfield leveled a strip club next to a day care.

Each iteration consists of analytical-philosophic queries, lyrical diffractions, and paranarrative documentary. Sixteen sub-topic variations appear. Every single word of the primary thematic line is exfoliated, extended, and exploded, multiplied, in a fugal structure, seeking the effects of content density, tension, and return. Continual re-figuration of all themata invites the reader to experience a pleasurable engagement with a material transparency that is neither prepackaged ("found") nor fancied from thin air ("inspired").

What is explosion to a slab of drywall?
What is "drywall" exactly?
HEIGH-HO!
Why do people strip?
What is "day care"? Why "day"?
What is night care?
Why daylight why daylight why daylight.
What is "care" exactly?
Gas. Wherefrom gas?
