certain trace elements remain

stalked by monumental plastic bags

the venal serpent has so many moving parts!

but worrying about it is sound inspiration, featuring

pannikin set on pate & talc on gormless elbow
file some excess weight from the handle of your spoon
back in the shelter going mad nothing happens

the machines preceded me

a kind of vivisection in corridor unlit

the press of the nail, warts under leather

black-lemon reflux, urinals belch

a varicose etiquette in service of extraction

no one coming, not even the landlord

im not the ppl they had in mind

im not emitting the agreed upon signal

but this rites company enough

& if things get tough theres always my photo id

with head cocked at the future like a flint

& the viscera there, still unread, recommended for you.
