Timothy Liu's Hard Evidence was released in 2001 by Talisman House.

Having Transcended the Cares of this World He stops before a headshot framed in a beauty shop window. Bows to the virus lurking underneath his own skin. Thinks about walking back to the Met. To the Asian wing where holes had been left behind by termites drilling through the torso of an unearthed Bodhisattva- Soft Money Buddha bellies staving off a washboard ideal. Both sides of the aisle hard-up for cash. Models of Jewish settlements cherry-bombed. Elephantine SUVs low on guzzled gas. No worse off than cabbies looking for a fare. Unable to ride Wall Street's golden bull. Potholes like a Starbucks opening up near you.
