the wide-open
recreational green in town had beige and bright green
circles and squares and oblongs obliquely occupying
the perimeters
and the centre,
a rattling string-of-lights spaceship had come visit
variously revolving and blinking, relaying energy
while its engine idled strange music all wondrous
to behold
the people came
and applied hard-earned pieces of metal and one morning
the ship was gone as if nothing had happened but if you
listen closely to all the trees standing square around the breezes
they saw it all, they’ll tell you, where else did those marks
come from!

beige wormhole: 1963
breeze wormhole: St. Mark’s flies flagpole upwards / with the forelegs hanging down obscene / reaching some height blindly to connect / out from the long-stalk tri-separating up- / to-seeded rounds of pod like acacia what / is it called “‘hogweed’ I-don’t-know- / what-it’s-called-but-goats-love-it-and- / it-makes-them-burp-a-lot”
green wormhole: landscape of cloud over London / with differing depths of grey
light wormhole: lesson from watching two crane flies work the evening / skating across the panes flying and pushing legs grappling / the glass crossing repulsive over themselves and clinging akimbo / for a rest until lifeless just to get their stickly bodies through to the light
money wormhole: The Boats of Vallisneria by Michael J. Redford – Olly
morning & trees wormhole: morning sun
music wormhole: strain
people wormhole: prelude: // travel
sound wormhole: ‘quick – she’s gone to pay …’
