in the neighbourhood which is just their accessory

What viewer could believe them

connecting all in death and harmony,

he’s allergic to their fuzzy fertility, a diverse country

which are actually everywhere full of water, and so full of life.

and leave the carcass of their companies in process yellow

bowl of vegetal fibre, sunk nearly to dripping

the line,

for ornament: cool, paralysed, crispy,

our common predicament, not

bottom out, unelected popular incumbents, build capacity

a given list.

blistering with tropical smells and agitations

to the patron or the slumming trader, means

trips back along the path strewn with interest

who will deny her

on the cover she can’t shed, sticks her
together; that it is most like damson

in trunks throughout the videophoned day

gold lamé and orange powder

I would be sung to sleep by the noises. That capacity

to prevent it. It’s the force of matter as extension,
