Intraposition

 There, in the thought-terminating-cliche 


all of it— 


The lay of the universe,  


seems so clear and convoluted,  


in all of its majestic filth  


Pixelated into the hard edge,  


and still observably invisible 


As the brothers of the wind each had different names  

are these not the brothers of extradimensional currents?  


I envision the atmosphere as layered scales superimposed across the blithe unhappiness i feel toward myself 


Unnamed and invisible,  


Awash in the absolving tides of winter   


As everything has equitable importance in the apathy of man 


The gurgle of their machines, every morning, and night and weekend; 

a refresh in the vulgarity of it all  

As if there is any meaning  


where shelter from the cold bears more prevalence than the forethought to not be exposed 


  


It plays out so predictably,  


as if the end is already determined 


 and they forget that I am the narrator of this vignette  


automaton devoid of voice, correcting speech  


played along to such ends that this skin can shed.  

 


Awakening some new form in the face of upheaval  


Where circumstance and obedience have resolved into nothing 


(And how could it?) 


As pouring concrete for a dead world,  


a world that is dissolving into a dead mall 


And I feel like such a husk, as if I have shed everything  


over and over so many times 


As if the anthem of my soul is distant droning sirens  


The symphony of train horns 


 


it starts like a distant whisper,  


as a dust storm evolving into a synthesized zenith   


Irresistible in a way beyond words.  


the slow peel of bark in ribbons 


The cold sting of a scab coming loose 


As hunger gives clarity,  


pain is an equitable teacher 


To a future that remembers nothing.
