The Janitor God
Cathach-Brenin
janitor god lark of asuncion cathartic belch overseer of dengue rat town
cobbled face more scar than pore oily black scorpion tongue cloudy eyes
surveying blindly grey plastic mould and maquette construction every detail of
a city awash with sublime green place keepers holograms all the homeless stares
all the mothers feeding all the dogs pissing all the hooded gangs idling
bleating all the parkour kids stuck in mid crook all the bridge jumpers all the
sharp shapes cutting through excrement on walls in alleyways holograms
mid-mugging mid-skulking mid-overdosing the reality uncanny all the decay all
the dirt stuck.
