Live and Let Live (draft)

 




Loockstepped on rainwater irrigation system 

disordered habitat of bats and birds

now fallen through 

the future hybridisation of work 

is, 0's – ticked through air morgues 

 mutter in synthetic turf 

of Teletubbyland, 

starred out tiara 

on the head of this fabulous city,

is a wellness centre  

where you grow concrete 

topping out silicon roundabouts  

under mastice verdant solution 

a crying dreadnought klaxons 

 something like xenophobias

 gently slowing the body 

into a rut slurry of mud water 

comes over the civic-minded 

metropolitan landscrapes

then pulls away 

through my drearied heart

disappears from the skies 

to HQ Mountain View

closer to sunlight 

that was never built 

but dug from hills

and there is no fog 

in Therapeutic eurythmy

 inwardly

if I was you, I would not smile 

at present situations 

the terms@conditions 

make a red triangle 

which are ills inverted upon you

brightening over glass 

breaks below and the face 

is a future data centre 

its needle wire clanks 

pearlescent heavenly bodies, 

and the moon

of metal, silvered reversed in life itself

the flora I frequent my line of interest

there are countless tales of people 

merely wishing to take photographs 

being hassled by uniformed goons 

in ostensible public space, 

the terms@conditions are

headbangers solidifying into architecture

under rainbow statistics 

eating plume luncheons 

server clangs by crook’d 

bridle tubing; my heart 

undoes the nap-pods

inside a past 

a millennial ungloved 

bleaches white and

accelerates in the dark 

sick lamplight 

its glen perishing eyelashes 

liquid soaps 

service of exposed breathe

key change to hide

in love among viaducts 

as the only sense of freedom 

in pause areas a sinkhole 

increases dismantled blood goes in,

atm’s come out 

the history of mercury vapour

lighting greenish white 

over the Centre Management Office 

under hannibal house 

under tempest 

under napping fabrics

secrete through the whole

with bike chains, with

hammers, with wires, shoes, 

belt buckles, with coat hangers, 

wooden spoons and bare hands

fastened on a stool

drawn out under zoning 

or regulatory arrangements

featureless trees are broken,

establishes Nue Ground 

at the heart of what we do

eating sachet dust

strategic planning means 

down One the Elephant 

stomp 10 times with english brick,

make into manja line 

coated with powdered glass 

attempt to cut down

all opposing broken pledges 

one by one this bloodshift unnamed, 

face-to-face on retail chains 

and privatised plazas

apologies would you reroute 

the bounds of favour 

into bags of 

discontent or fare flung arrows

with solid lines 

some ‘innovative affordable housing company‘ 

burning letters 

on militant ecologies 

with kindred red on banners backwards

dread planning of your working body

& nb no hope

in sick presence 

ctrl alt del and  

‘Live and let live.’ they say 

I hash for life 

under brambles itch 

for today, life hashes

a Brief Job Stress Questionnaire 

lifemarks you shall eat the blood of 

flow, drain, dis

charge have ramified and grown lanyard

inside sore spots, antipathies

e, working, constitutive 

Offices Proposed 

Awaiting demolition Closed 

Awaiting Conversion Business Premises 

Demolished Commercial Premises Gone 

inverted to love

at the end of night   

and touch the intimate nerve
