estimating the air

negative skin, scratched chrome, which self
is injured, has injured, which looks through

injury to the dream of traversing ergs
dunes pavements bajadas hamadas

the gibber plains the rocky deserts it
could be surveil yes that’s what walking is

looking (and recording)
what
chrome is scratched

tho’
cars have little or no chrome
now

just negative skin in a commercial on what
once would have been free to air television

and now is such a tiny sweet thing of
plastic soy oil carbon fibre made from sky

and a bit of steel still
add it all up and it’s more than the bio
sphere

the oil in the air

it has an appointment with you

you are also

clothed in it

 

tread lightly
on the air

you are

a mechanical egg

with octopus ethics

unravel your symptoms

by accident

all but on word here is spelt

the same in american
but in the mouth feels mandarin

the dates here tonight are on show
i’ll let you go

(take care?)
