WHIRLPOOL CONSOLATION
This is both vortex and whirlpool
the centre of human life today
When I look out it is calm
as long as there is no wind
Valve in head clear
water filter distance
Bubble choice
for joyful consolation
Resting quietly
Singing everyone else’s songs

CELESTIAL
EVERCLEAR
If the stars are invisible,
how do you know they exist?
The subways are sweltering
the dogs won't stop barking
Marvel at new stories
slipped between the cracks:
Aliens so frigid that light can't
radiate in the visible spectrum
which makes their bodies glow
It's no secret that space is cold
the darkest you've ever experienced
I can never quite tell what direction
New blue galaxies burning
ZERO GRAVITY
Small community events
set up and ready for action
From the far reaches of the galaxy
to the urban technological landscape:
Electricity generated by wind
zero-propellant guidance
When was the last time
every hair on your body
stood right up on end?
A totally different vibe:
intensity of perception
APOCRYPHAL MASTERCLASS
Plans for the sky:
potions and powders to add
Sourcebook, atlas,
encyclopedia, timeline
We present three words:
incompetence and deceit
It's not a cul-de-sac
it's a conduit
Some of these stories are true
BLOWTORCH ORCHESTRA
Development of
the age-related self
Equals dedication
to organized time
Sound levels
and sound spectra
Duration understood
after signing nondisclosure
Typical post-concert fireworks
Deep trench collapse
Dark stars missing
(presumed stolen)
