Staying In or Going Out
excerpt from a work in progress

staying-in or going-out
The sidewalk never ends [although it may seem to break at times] crumble of asphalt, caked bits
crack of a chunk kicked carelessly unconscious epidermis of the razor edge of earth’s crust
\BUILT UPON
kicked carelessly by the step in a shadow of a storybook hero, unknown to him/herself
along the never-ending sidewalk
intra-terminal limen
things cross over on burnt rubber: the city is so noisy at intersections when crossroads are
both sacred and commercial
the soles of the tarbaby tap the sidewalk that never ends
moving out
striking out on its own
who thought it was steetwise and knew the love-words les mots d’amour
Return to Kerkstreet
floating on the figured bass
who recalled les amants d’un jour
it was the same way she moved through the museum, almost in a
crying mood: look down,
you see a painted sea
look up,
you see the sculpted mountains marbled into people, wondrous quarry
outside the world of sculpted towers looking down cooking down the brazen peaks of wall range
you only see the sidewalk as you crawl along wormy
not yet but soon
All the Maintenance of Roadways etc
while in the electrical stretches of stream
World siphoned City-wards; [evrythg]
it draws
it feeds on the countryside and its fields
it feeds on the oceans and rivers
it consumes the produce of glaciers on mountaintops
it draws on, dawning
setting trends and aggressively nursing the earth pressing for lifesblood
LIGHT POLLUTANTS and a prism of petals
About the Creator

sunt lacrimae rerum et mentem mortalia tangunt
There are tears of things, and mortal objects touch the mind.
