better to leave this air /
trusting the uneven shape of absence /
hold the abstract carefully /
don’t skip any of the instructions /
words peeled away /
for an international audience /
leaving figures naked for a name /
there are those who smell the world /
always a clean wardrobe /
to sift through the smog /
blood doesn’t come back to us /
shocked when it finds /
the path of least resistance away always /
the centre line is painted over monthly /
it’s not a crime /
if there’s a committee behind it /
yellow doesn’t speak to people anymore /
the need to spend on the middle /
always a balanced object weighting the mind /
as the nights grow taller
