shape passion tract

who is aluminum eyed and spinning around
seeing with their heart
beating and tattered
rising to come and go in blue sky
spinning around beating
through needless constructs of race sex gender attraction
to fill the room
briefly
booming
laughter

intersecting silhouettes at sunrise
(jonathan borofsky installed male/female in front of penn station in 2004)

kilocalories per capita

welcome
festively slim and trim
baking inspiration
pure cane dark light white
sticky brown removed
crystals like time
sprinkled through canneries and pharmacies and photogalleries
moving hands and feet on whirling explosion electric machines
excess manufacturing amnesia

whirely crane at sunrise
(the baltimore museum of industry, founded in 1977, hosted the award of the first schaeffer industrialist of the year award, which honored a domino sugar executive, in 2004)

ibeam

steel rolled out of marsh grass
spanning miles rising stories
web and flange
ground substance
bones tissue bound
arteries recoiling
hands on scaffold
keep us
twist bend and shear

brownfield after sunrise
(wilbur ross bought sparrows point from bethlehem steel in 2003, sticking taxpayers with money owed to workers and stiffing workers out of contracted health insurance)

bioindicating

some cells are windows from outside
stacked in rows and stories
city block
building as spread sheet of data

or
people asking compromised questions
full status as persons
individuals as it
disembodied
identities fade
strenuous humanity
deleading the nation
enfeebled pseudopragmatism
power of realestatecapital like electricity mistransformed
destroying lives

institute at sunrise
(in 2001 the maryland court of appeals upheld a decision that kennedy krieger institute violated the human rights of families and children by unnecessarily exposing them to lead in order to study misguided partial abatement methods–no level of lead in their bodies is safe for children)

one half million

humans in society
cotton wool stories waver bunting flying high in wind sun rain
individual community environment
passing copper electricity
toward people palace of trust
sparrows on any flag rendered colorless

baltimore passage at sunrise
(in 2001 flag house courts, the last of our public housing high-rises, was demolished to be replaced by 338 units of housing, 20,000 sf of new and refurbished retail space, and green space, including baltimore passage at lombard and albermarle)

into pools

valkerae crawling thru bright rings of perception
lostlove stabbed and bleeding play rebirth in dripping velvet
arresting music draws them into kaleidoscope writhing zombie snakes
disappearing in paintsplash come to life in ballet circus serpent coalescing
float apart as dreams swirl and collide in drowning passion
unfurl as sails flying in ocean blood red glittering gold
windbuzzing canvass folds mantis fly beetle bee combusting popping clapping hands
smoke flattens screening filtering shapes into stop and go

city pool at sunrise
(fluid movement staged their first water ballet in 1999 in patterson park)

spinarette

spider reached into the heart of a piano
with insect strength pulled out handfuls of strings
swung them overhead and around
casting ends over rafters and ropes
then pulled them all tight into chest
how they shined in the lights and threw weird shadows
a vibrating soundweb of hammer strike
as spider taps into a breakwalking dance en march

culturL center at sunrise
(the eubie blake cultural arts center moved to north howard street in 2000)

on the drawing board

inside the spinning globe
of blue kevlar with lasersequined bursts of iridescent refection
sixteen limbs turn four perpetual super gears
titaniachained to eight selfsteering spikeretracting aquaterra paddlewheels
whirring in labyrinthian timecrystaled lubricant
that mists sucroprotein for kinetinauts
suspended in competition

vionary art museum at sunrise
(the american visionary art museum-hosted, lemans-started east coast kinetic sculpture race championship was first held in 1999)
