TOWARD THE DISTANT CORNER
'an open air museum filled
with clues hidden in plain sight'
– Greil Marcus, The Doors
things did seem kind of magical
in retrospect kind of magical
spirit animal the only time
I've seen a dead human being
things did seem to void structure
the street outside controlled
chaotic sprawl drifting to void
on all sides downtown
scrapyard lullaby power colour
on all sides downtown
scrapyard lullaby power spirit
animal colour the only time
time & space reports from the
field
space time among the verticals
each motion formally scripted
time among verticals in motion
formally scripted & structured
controlled chaotic sprawl
drifting an ocean you rent
an ocean only you could see
welded report from the inside
tailgate sparks inside & out
this is not a dead human being
this is not a streetlight's glare
shattered gas station open
lights toward the corner
this is magic inside & out
this is a scrapyard lullaby
—Rupert M. Loydell
