out of the numbness from nothingness
the tragedy that was drugged stable
but couldn’t speak
the empty floorboards that held no echo
a head reared and cast around
mouth sealed with a conjunctivitis
and eyes seeing all the angle and juxtaposition
there was to see
but found the power to leap buildings
and act with super human subtlety
but in lessening gradations of effect until
just words wiped across a line

abandonment & childhood & divorce & Eglinton Hill & eyes & identity & Mum wormhole: 1959 –– MANHATTAN –– 2012
echo wormhole: the echo of / a small box
emergence wormhole: tag cloud poem VIII – growth
pointlessness wormhole: new year’s eve 2014; train up to London to / walk the bridges across the Thames, and / listen to the voices say it is, and was, like, / but get back home before the fireworks / obliterate it all in the emptying twilight
seeing wormhole: crumpled / notebooks / at the end of a gentle retreat
superpower wormhole: wakey wakey / time to get up
writing wormhole: “out of step is useful because / that means you get to notice / what others have missed; out / of line is no use to anyone”
