Pack
after-thought frail as fracture
failed trials, to die trying
this clenched act of trust
leaving the cell
at home, open sea
these suburbs, scatology

Orbits
Progress weighed in carats
labor's still the stick
the we-I-you stabled
with blinders
out to pasture
nibbling hay
history without hiatus
the sign spiels
on the stretch -727:
fasten seatbelts
while seated,
solo round trips
your many Beatrices
spin the soul's
revolving doors
only possible response
to be private jets
of writing so
fly me east
where the sun strikes
only on the right
modern mules
we-they
express ferrying
word to endless
image and back
again, no stop
to sense representation
hankering
for a tune
the clear approach
snivelling for
a supersignified
Blowback
Mobile tromboning
just another
double dipping
capital-evading
arbitrage opp
countered by
connection directives
controlling the very
consumption they’ve created
bandwidth border patrol
fixed network charges
enforced registrations
curbing media
traffic to locals
rerouting redundant legs
the new feltching
transparently inefficient
incentive always
loving
taking long arms
to play a cock
while lips tongue
the mouthpiece
of an anus.
