And
As my hands were behind my back
I wrote one word on the envelope
My face
It was still soaked through
With the golden leaves upon it
Oak leaves
Again he changed
This time to create surplus flesh
On his lean body
His fingers shook slightly
When others mentioned the bugs with long feelers
A stop light goes on for self security
He is aggressive
Hundreds perhaps thousands of flux pods
Were making their way
Seizing the spray
Far up
A few hundred yards above the street lighting
Closer to the wall
It's true
That is where they come from
And the other things up the river
Over a time variant
Over fifteen hours
Like leaves before the wind
Looking down
Perfectly still
His ears breathing
Gingerly grasped the edge of the hatch
Hit it with a few small charges
A stimulating effect
And the lights thrust
And the action had secrets
Twenty-seven on her labia
And a thick one was being applied to her clitoris
So she decided to bide her time
For the time being at least
But something surely was doing things
To his intuition intelligence and wisdom
The second girl now approached him
A naked girl
Holding a handful of powder to the Southeast
To the sodden forest below
About ten years back
The idols of old
The false floppy discs were prolific
The hiss heralded a menacing step forward
Around and around
What noise was unscrewed or pulled out for
For Heaven is dusted
with a bit of fat bottom rubble
the ancient text messaging word patterns
the grace of the children of the film cartridge
I'll be shopping for the intelligentsia
Greens into a riot of colour
Across cryptographers smoking cigarettes
Bow down the wall
Profitable in business
Certain of themselves
It's designed that way
Never went to the out fringes
A row of metals across
One thousand two hundred bowed nipples
They stole it from his hands
Paralysed from action by giant cryptographer
Hoarding stolen ingots
Storage banks
Your trust isn't it kind of col
No I haven't
You would think that I don't blame you
You're not the first
At the same time
I've told the best friend
An imperfect child
Whatever
The motley assortment
Of two or three dozen in the same place
Grown from the tangled wreckage
What's going on
He's alone
Books were scattered all over
He was going to get swamped
Frowned on

On the far wall
A patch of red light and useless decorations
Secret photographs
Pain sounds pleasure sounds
Meant nothing
From the window of the office
I looked down
And the streaming rain ran rusted guttering
Turning to powder
At the end of the line
Slates had blown
Heavy rainfall sprayed
Levered aside the stones
Pounded demolished houses
Peeled off dragging
Bobbing minivans along the water
Surged back and forth
Smashed dancers took running dives
And began to writhe
In a deep sea of leathery animals
Genitals
Objects
Faces that meant nothing
Tossed large slabs of stone
Falling with bits of soil and sea everywhere
Overflowed dropped drowning
Birds guts flowers rats and mice
Golden grave goods
A length of splintered branch
Human limbs
Hunter and hunted
Mixed deeper and deeper
So deeply
And he waited for it to subside
And start a pattern
To cause a shape to be formed
High enough to stand in like a fortification
Like thirty feet of cement chamber
That reeked of bones and body odour
Along one side there was a soggy flap
It dripped its earthly grime
Somewhat like a massive fountain pen
At the other end
There was what appeared to be a tiny square lens
I'm checking to see
That the plate is secure
Things didn't look too good
They're whispering
Clothes will not be worn
While the computers take over
I kicked the door open
Tiny particles of dust drifted upward
Inside was an enormous protective web
Clogged with shit
Ancient shit
Beatnik shit
If I yelled
It got stuck in my throat
I turned away and as I turned
Polycarbonate phlegm filtered the sunlight
Beaming in through the windows
I moved forward
Barefooted in the wreckage
That rose five stories
Wooden crates filed in spirals
Looked as if they had been standing there for years
A wash basin
Jig steps
And the oddball characters
Attract many flies
Coughed up memories of the old ones
Thousands prowl the laboratory
It's on the map and in the vocabulary
A sleeping animal fog drifted across the street
River fog slurring social strata
Different levels of wealth
Races languages and cultures
The elements whipped
The powdered grime and thorny tentacles
Moss  and dandelions
An ant's eye view
Is not the only point of vantage
Up close
The buildings were even more grey and damp
Windows and doors were securely shuttered silent
Total silence
To the noise
To the sound
