Raw Goods

After Prague

We have exceeded our cells,
litter the hotel in the evening,
not to be conflated with freetrade.

The nucleii differ in form and function:
iron tubes chain forearms, block
unfolded parabolics of inflatables.

Reassembled devils congregate as an infatuated evolution of money betrays the transparency of the organized leaders, in a limit to the interpretive event, our voice:

again choked, again sold -
billy clubs against thorax,
a reticulated double-helix
of pre-recorded protest;

"Don't yell into the megaphone,"
he pleads, "for applause will be
in no way comprehended."

When hatchbacks explode at checkpoint barricades,
a repeated correlation -
of transmitted riddles and unreported body counts -
accumulates as inherited traits compile laws of genetic continuity,
pick up hitchikers on the corner of odd and even
mutate and revolt;
bold and specific,
vague and insinuant

chants scatter under tripod crutches.
Cells disperse, from definite shapes into
scattered coagulates, against which
horseback riders collide, fracture limbs.

An insistent forgetness concerned with
tornados
takes definite shape before it
dissipates in the end
