Month: May 2019

you die i’ll eat (unbridged)

in spite of our insignificance the fiery trial to the next generation stormy present enthrall our no democracy


devotion not perish

earth.

president street station at sunrise
(the baltimore symphony orchestra performed a lincoln portrait a month after oligarchs managing northern asia assumed executive control of the united states in 2017)

endura folks

darker rings
how many one chances to resist decay
starwaste or anthropolymer
absorbing stress response
precipating enzyme
until the forest entire burns
perhaps seeds after

united states district court at sunrise
(in 2017 thirteen baltimore residents were arrested for protesting against fascism in washington dc, an enclave of the united states without full representation, and prosecuted in dc to support fascist government policy and fascist government operations)

collateral collective insanity

any one
any pain
broken toe holding on to dying in arms
walk in walk out
script
my friends
one less war
or dont we need some one here

coroner at sunrise
(in 2016 fentanyl became the leading cause of overdose death in maryland—bodies are counted at the office of the chief medical examiner on baltimore street—tompetty is going to open for prince on tour next year)

surface of last scattering

which is fuel when is dawn
leftover heat from our last biggest explosion
white hot fog becoming black body lovingly measured
every photon casts a shadow
every thought a sunfilled meadow

light tower outside bloomberg center at sunrise
(the cosmology large angular scale surveyor saw first wave in 2016)

row mytopia

body of prisoner restless seizing breathless on shore
light on water quiet and slow
dripping from the oar
toward a tunnel out there an island
a kiss in a short and happy dream

rowing on the Patapsco at sunrise
(in 2016 the city began investing half a billion dollars to build out the dream of a clothing manufacturer to grab shoreline and profit from leasing office, residential, and retail space)

surveillasphere

some where in earth space time
vector to raster to target
drone the sounding
collected electromagnetic watching each other
unbroken layers correlating cellophane
under tarmac floor to ceiling doorstep and doorstep corner with corner rooftop allover on up into orbiture
layers and layers around and through
our slowly expiring starlight

police administration building at sunrise
(in 2016 police, without the knowledge or consent of anyone else including city government added, at eight thousand five hundred feet, a layer of time-tracked pixelated spy photographs and data, linked to street-level surveillance cameras and data, over the entire city—deploying technology developed in the war against iraq)

solid state radio free

morning grey molding parts environment
brittle intermetallic layers separate
breaking arc
slow corrosion permanent gate biasing
serial resistance dislocations point defects discharge electro
static
broadcast
static
order of the day

cubicles at sunrise
(in 2016 the governor of maryland zero’d out decade-long efforts of hundreds of democratically elected representatives and thousands of community members and state workers to redevelop with public transit and community focus the state center, state owned office space in west baltimore, without explanation—this is what oligarchy looks like)
