Together we walked the glassy crick
a tight coupling of systems environments
we watch from the skies
Mountain View HQ closer to the sun
that was never built
the company directives your body stilled
to a Wednesday chthonic, I ate
remembering sick days protruded
out from your stomach but now thats
long gone peeling bitter tears in
the nap-pod remembering your dream
its compliance baled to always
to that or die, over fingers rubbing skin
as a treat & as if to hash for life
your face its future hybridisation
that or die remembering Plug-in City
remembering precipitous white ledges, scunnered
a kiss on the curve of thoraces or boots
remembering what Smart Building
Management Software did to you
detained in screw-ins
to work each day spec boasting
the holes in this transversal space
the vapour light termination of hope
the Post-Good Quango fortified
stock-brick-clad ground-floor blast walls
scratching the edge forevermore repeating
myself just remembering the sky garden
just remembering the just above the water
just limbless creak.
