carved faces more real than
peoples’ cross-hatched lives
make chaos easier to understand
as curse – March of Civilisation –
the beginning of the Word has it all;
those who know of symbol
come to participate and connive
in that to which it points, those
who don’t live and struggle on
bench-cold poverty, but it brings
the nation together like glue, we
know where we stand and the
wheels keep turning over cobbles;
the buildings were raised and we
burned the common traitors with
our whore-y little compromises
askance from chapter nine of From Hell by Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell
a little snippet from askance From Hell, askance from chapter ten of From Hell by Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell, gwn’n’avvalook

Alan Moore & society wormhole: the dash is magnificent / the shadow grotesque
buildings & words wormhole: under silent direction of architecture
compromise & life wormhole: the streets just fill with business
faces wormhole: 1962
