I see crystal spires of great conspiring myriads Collapse to spheres. A conscience of science fiction Aroused as one sees tin men walk on streets. The mystics and myths are. The instincts and maths are. Meandering meaningless tracks are. Then to the sound of a distant locomotive And endless opinions and motions And loco motives And motivations And locked up forts fought for in ages past And a lost train of thought.
Cars careen in between Houses housing those who sleep. The river in between The Earth and the Earth And over the Earth. A tar road of glass, Eroded by no cars. Only the path of drowning men.
Dogs bark. Logs covered with bark Cover the park. The night, the vast ocean of Jupiter Poseidon, with pearls replaced by starlight. 'Tis, isn't it? It is. Las vivas sin sentido Es Loss of vitals without sin.
"His soul stretched tight across the skies That fade behind a city block, Or trampled by insistent feet At four and five and six o’clock; And short square fingers stuffing pipes, And evening newspapers, and eyes Assured of certain certainties, The conscience of a blackened street Impatient to assume the world." - T.S. Eliot Preludes
