Substratum Beneath the surface there are blocks of time a keep ticking ticker investments in soiled identities that are loosing clots of what never was. There is treasure too, locked away in a nautilus shell waiting for the call of the wild key bits and bobs of let loose and fancy free Also locked away is my familiar azure blue and tonic green amiability The 'cannot' telling is the buzzing round your sailent (fears) ears, like unused sails slapping at thin defeated air strikes called possibilities... here I avoid all contact (you asked me to) yet here you display stagnent reaction with absent mind you forget the yesterdays and how you long to hear what you ask me not to say absent now both of us have decided in secret: lock out the playful place slide below the surface (substratum) (we find) serendipitous angst, common place cross our fingers behind our backs as promises will not fix our fateful syntax Linaji
