Row on row
on air. Life
is but a
drama: solid entreaties
turn the tide
from frantic to
inside out. 'How
to eat American
food wisely.' Pressure
to stop, pressure
to go on,
to go out
in something approximating
style. Nothing but
nothing but. An
immediate aftermath.

Lone flown online
launch. 'Some dozens'
down. And up
and away. And
about. 'You're looking
hot.' 'Thanks. So
are you.' Invited
evidence (explorer cannot
display wreckage). Screen
implodes without a
second move. See
yourselves, ourselves, of
late extreme.

Go to sleep
with rockets. Systematic
laughs online. Un-
pack the nonsense
meter. Float over
the lines. Words
are not fit
to bear arms,
to bear young,
to be on.
This weather will
admit of no
delay. We say
no way. We
say nothing of
import, or impact.
The grace of
matter rising.
What elegant
beasts. The doll,
the child, the
doll. While we
occupy a spot
behind the screen,
behind the world.
It's all a
matter of time,
a time of
matter, a foregone
conclusion, a sappy
ending. What we
have. A 'perennially
threatened decline'. A
present of no
future tolerance. A
coughing up of
final quarter.

Wit where wit
is not to
be believed. What
a general let-
down. 'People can
be so disappointing,
can't they?' So
what lady. The
fist breaks down.
Luck unbearable. Suffering
right. To do
wrong. From a
safe distance (from
a sanctimonious perspective).

The most delicious
object on the
menu. Another hot
load. As empty
as any pudding.
What really happened:
twelve experts examining
the relevant. And
turning nothing up.
Glowing orange. Feeling
great. The first
great hot favourite
'of all'.

For those who
resent the vacuum
packed. For those
who like their
level play, who
wish the rubble
could clear itself.
For those who
want their shuttle
to fire rockets,
those ardent for
some reticent gory
denouement. Macro impacts:
micro amazement. Those
who sit around
and chew the
cud, who sing
wrongdoing, string themselves
upperward, wrongheaded blunderers.
For those all
cowed: all these
who count for
nothing
good.

Spoil the child
and spare a
rod. A floating
armature attracts a
floating vote. News
about news indeed.
'Stronger physical action'
promised. Getting up
to find the
remote. Wizened old
man knows earth.
Is capable of
hitting Alaska, 'real
and severe'. 'Overly
apocalyptic' discussions go
on unabated. A
baited fish diet
for compliments.
