A form of literary distribution built on the model of peddling drugs, particularly the technique practised by dealers in Washington Square Park or along St. Mark's Avenue. Tim Wilson pioneered the form, inspired by accounts of Addisson's Amway-style poetry samples. He was almost arrested for distributing poems this way, though was released moments later as the laughter part was realized. The procedure was such:

The poet creates the poem first -- preferably on easily-foldable documents, such as receipts, old-glue strips of masking tape, pare strips of any sort but requiring in their structure the fortitude necessary to crouch through the rollers of an analog typing machine, the IBM Selectric -- particular model unimportant.
