Mill ennui 2000
And to be again by toxic draffs
its soil burdened with arsenic & mercury
near the access point a large white marquee underinks
lauded codas & coiffed fingers burnt plastic
tetches off this cloud remade again
an image shrinks to some super-totem inverted fascia
runs on teflon, a faintly baited linchpin
inclines burgundy bottles with regimental ties for wicks,
the Prince of Darkness Molotov Astras
1999 moving forward a beacon to the world
into the richness of the British character. Ergo.
Creative. Compassionate. Outward looking.
a triumph of confidence over cynicism,
boldness over blandness,
excellence over mediocrity
harped, cupola one withering blimp
settled at the mouth of the peninsula,
Britannia strays dragging over shingle
it vanished complex tangles
what invented future means in shining leaden water.
& you float back into Enterprise Culture
a compulsion etched onto its scrying glass spectrally,
extruded into deadlands containing within itself
the last council-operated high-rise red eyed
& everyone is left on carcinogenic marshes is volatilised
a Chairman’s haircut congeals in Tip-EX,
& the sun atop the dome
dances just like in the moonlight
O when that moon is big & bright
& it’s a supernatural delight,
when everybody is dancing in the moonlight!
Your feet do change depending
on repertoire, holidays, workload, strength
the joints become a bit bigger over use,
skin gets callous
but they’re doing a job
they’re adapting to that
& O what of Molotov Astras people sized
& you go down with the building
you’re holding the bottle at its neck,
you chuck it hard at the window,
it shatters a pathological commitment, life is
a bursting measuring instrument to public consultations
falling caressing regimental ties, on fire
at the base of its bottle an Index of Multiple Deprivations,
a regional quota system breeding out Value For Money (VFM)
its hedonic pricing can be used to body-lock
'value' intangible from the placid gag, people again
falling or to be /a particular theory of change
or specifically 'area-based' factors
cinch cumulative, interrelated, problems
something pure; we should pick it ourselves,
—there’s freedom in believing in the end,
you feel yourself outside of all account.
which might, for example, arise for worklessness
eloping the evaluation team a root extracts
its resource into a evidence based Inquiry
a pin, that you hold on your tongue as if
any restrain was mannered into visible feeling
dates back to a ramp of comradely pickerings
bin of lilies I wriggle, at the holes
Whitehall ƒ other regeneration practitioners ƒ academics.
& crime, yes I do it & have done & will carry on
but have you ever been a cleaner? yes,
cooly feeling in my mouth,, a HR adviser:
We are obviously concerned for your welfare.
If your absence is due to ill health
we may be able to offer support
by referring you to our Occupational Health Advisor.
I would like to remind you that it is your responsibility
to keep us updated if you are absent from work.
As you are aware any absences over 7 days
should be covered by a medical certificate.
We would like you to attend an investigation
meeting with Karen Keen, Housekeeping Manager,
to discuss your absence from work.
The details of this meeting are:
Date: Thursday 17th August 2017 Time: 14:00
Location: Catering Meeting Room, Tanglewood
to do a cutesy call in reference to your wellbeing
by pulling together data from a common and consistent baseline
collated at the heart what means-testing peaks deprived
within each to create more
the more of which is difficult
defining a private world,
a private cause you are entitled to bring conspiracy
at the end but the end, we must remember,
doesn’t last long enough.
Final Reports assesses A fealty tsk VFM, bucks
but there is one obvious problem with this type of data:
the complexities of people moving into, and out of, these
indices waivering molotovs like an impacted wing mirror
with social relations, vertical trust, and the SF36
mental health index against 'closing the gaps' with other areas
& 'feeling part the 'feeling part is one obvious problem
a moderate sky derived from nowhere
hurning over its winds but it feeds
to benchmark change in
project managers and beneficiaries
has been really 'grossed up' outcomes and realistic
plausibles fall into throngs of orderlies
'hard' indicators of change
change said again but differently,
to the Final Report Volume 5 (chapter 2)
worth flagging up that,
Sorry is the hardest word
but you learn from your mistakes remember
secondary, data, covering
relatively small, deprived or eaten up parts of you
devalued or sunk into
the architecture of moonlit colonnades,
the custodial moonlit amphitheaters, the moonlit
night-club interiors as disinterred by Edwin Lutyens
on old drugs & re-thought as a underground bungalow
& exit into anti-ligature moonlit prisons
with calico print on the walls
elbows in the topiary garden dancing
Low Income Data indicator shifting your balance
a low octane hallucination gets pulled
from the toxic soil to be put in an airgun
& shot out at the menagerie rotating
in the middle of the three story high complex
nobody is left, but plastic-clad buildings
shaped like a Rubik’s Cube on the stated aims of the
TMO & Client aspirations
endorsed subcommittees cantilevered platforms
narrowed to scalloped edges
yellow spikes from heaven drop like arrows
the logarithmic scales break paternally.
There is no door but a sort of oval flap,
a opening tripped into flashes of
your behavioural map,
sunk its token bent out of shape
but allowed to pass down a long sequences of spaces
eventually hitting the Vent-Axia
& crumpling into the arm of a giant figure
that was a zone based on the human body,
this zone then divided
into four parts by a dual carriageway
and a waterway, contains pre-war,
low-rise council housing
and relatively few commercial or other facilities.
& what appears to be blood with visible blood cells
pumped around the floor & walls.
Shimmering lenticular titles, to be felt to be
standing at the height of the Stature of Liberty.
An interactive scanner that would appear to find parasites
on the volunteers body & multiply them.
Large scale hair covering the ceiling,
parasites moving through the hair,

The curving plasterboard wall is indented
with crosses each one carrying a TV screen in its centre
& then more, gently scouring the corners
‘the blessing of Tony Blair’ appears
behind burnt public sector workers a private door
& the best picnics on Agars Plough,
how can you forget massive gazebos
Moët out the proverbial bucket!
subsequent decades
in variant forms across demographic indicators
the city including the redevelopment of a fetish;
its buried strata of contamination
representing another kind of heat
a zone within a zone; a cylinder of How Shall I live?, night rain
a series of barriers & check-points broken to light
its infinitely distant far ended luminous watch-dials,
, strategically. Buried in cesspits on the site to be opened
some point in the nearing future in some unspecified field as its centre.
Or else facing a rapidly violent descent
into the realms of anonymity, no forgotten people
in an undercroft its nuclear light singeing
madness, or early death geo-coded.
Scatter diagrams are used
to new entrepreneurial micro-billeted polymers
now counts as a skin, as a face its complex gyration
a private equity firm in brownfields. A proxy rank
the cashflows to a cowabunga pipeline
pushing ever upwards into a toxic pyramid,
from the apportioning process & then added back
with arsenic & mercury there are perks in
chains of lead you can feel it.
