Sine wave knuckles working the cab interior of an elevator, thunderous blows  story-ing up, down. Cramming all those voices in a voice box, a moral imperative to release them. Exorcising a city riding a dungeonesque shaft, all those broken by bread, crawl my lungs as if trying to pry open a chasm. No feet to my name, animal space for an angel's consideration. Thoughts like bypassed gut-checks of rats crossing a third rail, vivid as Buddhist visualization... modicum of composure, the elevator doors open. People press in, as if finalizing the final frontier.

Elevator Exorcism
Sine wave knuckles working the cab interior of an elevator, thunderous blows  story-ing up, down. Cramming all those voices in a voice box, a moral imperative to release them. Exorcising a city riding a dungeonesque shaft, all those broken by bread, crawl my lungs as if trying to pry open a chasm. No feet to my name, animal space for an angel's consideration. Thoughts like bypassed gut-checks of rats crossing a third rail, vivid as Buddhist visualization... modicum of composure, the elevator doors open. People press in, as if finalizing the final frontier.
