Route down

What could it be, it’s a miracle

You’re scheming on a thing that’s sabotage

and absent from the scene even before it takes my leave

muttering portfoliate mirabelle, rococo launches out

stabilised wt. reference to the terminal’s outer curve,

some favours granted by repute, though greeting is beyond

a momentary thought, ill suit: that fund who loves

safe spectres of pronounced abandon is clear

once again, both hands in choleric papers.

Dying defined as restitution gets to be stuttered

in a shock blackout where bass shook the vehicle

softly, now, recognising the intransigent kiss

of light pulled higher up the building’s brownstone

fat arc willing the sun to descend faster, and it does

running glass upward to a couple of larus gulls

wandering about, tin-eyes flicked by nictitating

membranes this way and that coil and glide down

the harbour six miles to the east through sulphur

why in the city is

possibly illegal/in an ethical sense

anything over 800ASA a plausible danger, apparently

but forgiveable. Waiting around as if in a dream tapping

the foot watching the date flicker on the c-card

scrolling through an escape route, detailing the watch again

inspecting the mutable stitching holding him politely in time

symptomatic of an olivaceous return to the sobbing throat,

asphalt. Though the way I saw it, more of a threat. Just tactics,

love but mobile. Customs with static. Warm wars, buoying you along.

Small clauses derive an entire dream from a fit of chemical resilience

the click of the vendors sleek side and the rubble-roll of filled plastic

perfect under striplight and big oranges and CNN’s indubitable grief
