in this lasting thick sop of heat
people protect their dearest habitually
and who knows how long that shall last ?/
all acts are weighed upon/
the neighbourhood is rough/
the swelter raises all the gritty flavours
level with all our senses/
some spend time on the rooftops
but it’s not avoidable there/
tasks are monument :
the hateful
hurting
malnourished bodies
are there own enemy
a struggle to perform basic life/
the fever beat breeds the pollution
and the pollution is solvent
in the population/
it’s a barbed experience
working to perspire/
we’re cast where we began :
occupied animals
and when the day sinks
then begin the dog nights/
people are game for a fight/
of all this
i take my leave/
i seek to study/
i want to shut down/
i need decay/
i’ve stalked from this blazing environment/
i’ve gotten far underground/
removed a grate
from our buildings basement/
followed rungs to a cool drainage tunnel/
not far along that I discovered a hunch in the cities material
edged through a crack/
ever downwards by touch................/
i’ve found a damp corner
within a ruin
beneath the ground
within another city
built over once
and then again by the current inhabited one/
this is location/
from the summers heat
and from the social wheeling/
Quick to go fungal
I adjust my body temperature
and mottle the skin of my stowed carrier/
I regard my blood beats
and concentrate
marking them slower and slower/
I retract to operate on minimal features/
I become a dominance of my thought stream
and narrow it to almost nothing/
I’m a short stop from from coma or organic breakdown
I am now dedicated ,
thoroughly ,
to the one study
