FOR VERIFY
Here's my hand, stretched out.
Maybe bleeding, maybe ulcerous,
I can't see it. These days I pay a
lot more attention to my ears.
-
I lived, also (you may not know),
through the age of steam : the
great bulwark of smoke and
matter that once lined the streets
and roadways. Steam-power was
a remarkable thing. The crux
was how one had to first build
the super-strong containment
space to hold the force of all
that making-of-the-steam. Force,
fire, heat, intensity. Like a really
strong thought, trying to burst
through, out of a really
strong mind.
