sitting on the balcony, the sky is a radiant purple.
the city is like mediasch, you, you running in the distance over there are the caretaker, taken to motion. i see the water as a pool of mercury. a light flickers out.
this review is a failing set of words on a piece of dirt, washed away like our lives by an ocean that cleans in and out. my eyes, traditionally more receptors for pain than any information, gorge themselves on light reflecting off brick, seeing visions of those long-dead construction workers intoxicating themselves on asbestos. time makes itself immaterial to me. i have excised the clock organ from beneath my skin, nary a scar. i look and see what you call future and past all at once. when i am gone, another seeker replaces me. my memories are swallowed, digested, shit out in an instant. i am worse than dead, worse than forgotten, i am nothing but a momentary consideration, chosen to be released by someone more well-read than i could be
