He ran off somewhere to the side
& that's how November began narcotic
pushing out of the lower strata
in the direction of the bedroom.
Inside them at that moment spread
London carpeted with oriental rugs.
Then droning far inland in tighter
spirals 6.6 sextillion tons
fatal to those with allergic reactions.
Skittish neutrals this that year
they were defector from America
collage sculpture
tulips in a vase
a crowd with the family handgun.
But what if the multi-million solution
& experiments with rats & mice don't work?
"One by one the police take out the. . ."
It all takes place by night & by day
people simply forget about the explosions
blown away in clouds of dust & heavy doses
of political news. Over. Out. Slow fade.
