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)

whose guardrail

to
gathering gaining advancing
all nations society salvation
through
sincerity
first step front line there


strength from all things

no matter where they read it
whose god they say said it
a means to prevent or deter access to peace love understanding
is making shit up

schooling in shimmering disruption infinite spectrum
eating raindrops
up a ladder through a stage beyond

hydropower
all this current is ocean calling

why not at sunrise
(the baltimore transgender alliance became a transgender march of resilience in 2015)

brightred cityline

red line as bloodline
red line under bottomline
red line of fiery sun in pipeline
red line twisted into lighttwine
red line restoration neighborhood community prometheancityinvestmentline

border of small city with no rapid mass transit at sunrise
(the governor of maryland defunded the red line in 2015 without bothering to ask the city and county about providing more tax increment financing and private investment, the ‘president’ of the united states approved the racist and self-serving decision in 2017)

fractal starbus

under our tarmac brick and mostly clay
fungi wires seeping pipes measured light
soil thru shoes thru brain in sky
capital entropy underneath
enzymes unshared
instead of leaves stretching sun gathering water together.

so some days
is it the weather my fingers feel like dying
material ceasing to cycle
nutrients not flowing

north avenue from fulton avenue at sunrise
(freddie gray was murdered by police in 2015 for no apparent reason)

up next

love deep inside
who is well protected
small arms fire
artillery
mud
speak up
veiling of soft purple

deadly intersection at sunrise
(lor scoota was killed at harford road and cold spring lane/moravia road in 2014)

been zine

slashing story of coconut hacks palm
hectares in forced labor
hydrocarbon driversupplying chains
ships trains hauling boiling
filtering through human sweat skin
incense sacred st our hope
daphnia magna culex pipiens tubifex rivulorum lymnaea vulgaris rana cyanophlyctis cirrhina mrigala back river
sky of how many billion billion moons
all free clear sweet blue cell in almost empty everyplace

warehouse over former soap factory at sunrise
(production of all, wisk, and snuggle at 5300 holabird avenue ceased in 2014)

up from cabin branch

north of schooners wooden freighters concrete steamers sidewheel barges
violets arbutus honeysuckle pansies chinquapin berries
poplar popland elm elmtree cedar ceddox
twenty eight shades of red orange brick towering
walking back into matrix of soil
rooted revolution

brick faced steel water tower and community garden and industrial port at sunrise
(in 2009 the filbert street community garden became)

seenthrutelescope

my mere embroidering
would be thread around and around inside the square
spiraling
starts meeting ends
absorbing spring

oncoming traffic on steel bridge at sunrise
(hannah brancato, joan m. e. gaither, deletta gillespie, rebecca nagle, kalima young launched the monument quilt in 2013)

one 800 cellular violence

oxygen honeycombs
human estuary of gas exchange
cytoplasmic veils gently vibrating
air and carbon glide through
macrophagia angle toward contagion
so we on the edge like reeds in the salty mud
breath air and music for
every second song of the universe

nitrogen oxide, sulfur dioxide, formaldehyde, mercury, and hydrochloric acid at sunrise
(in 2013 a massachusetts institute of technology study revealed the wheelabrator bresco trash incinerator has killed roughly eight thousand baltimore city residents since it began operating in 1985—destiny watford organized the curtis bay community to prevent an incinerator from being built there in 2016)
