detergent for capital (fire!)

buckets from the well
with the slavery the wars the biosphere destruction
every stain of sweat
by the river come to launder
all of us washing for the holidays

investment bank and financial services at sunrise
(from reverdy thru catherine and beyond, some feel a need to launder money more vigorously than the rest of us)

rock promontory

in west baltimore you find rock
hetch-hetchy-like promontories
but oh my.
elijah.
banners of snow in a winter wind
ice on fire in a spring sunrise
huddled pine swelling ten thousand summers
autumn stalwart big moon mirror
elijah.
death and peace in the mountains
fountain of life
we breathe we climb

park and cathedral at sunrise
(elijah cummings has been fighting the fascist coup since before j20)

windwaters aguasviento

please forgive the language of a rapist
but we are in amerigo no longer
shores mountains plains mountains shores islands
thru two great oceans
pole to pole
walking resting filtering dreaming
the same one breathing
we are
in windwaters
come
por favor disculpe el idioma del violador
pero somos en amerigo ya no
orillas montanas llanos montanas orillas islas
en los dos mares
polo a polo
caminando reposando filtrando sonando
el mismo respirando
estamos
en aguasviento
venido

oak tree at sunrise
(baltimore, surrounding the port of baltimore, strove to welcome in 2018. rip kevin zeese.)

sleight of glock

someone wrapped a gloved hand around his ungloved hand and weapon
gloved hands all round
like someone locking inside locks from outside
who would have seen is no one
someone hold his bleeding head in your lap
wipe their blood off a ceramic floor
some one every one
here the last chunk of dried blood on our fingers
refuse to war
refuse
war

toward bennett place at sunrise
(found evidence supports a theory sean suiter committed suicide in bennett place in 2017—the war machine that caged him reacted in an angry thuggish swarm of human rights violations, teeming lost in the smog of a lost war)

medi c/t ate

many times great god mother
walking calmly toward center
in a maze assembled over one thousand years
gathering oxygen to core
winds around
gathering oxygen to core
works out
gathering oxygen to core
switches forever

center of wellness at sunrise
(erricka bridgeford prompted every one to be mindful of the violence in and around them, organizing a ceasefire that started in 2017 and continues)

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)

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)
