angry steel cylinder
cycles the street
wire brushes scratching asphalt
sharp bursts of water sprayed
the back of my neck damp
not altogether disagreeable
this enchantment
it is only like this here
laced with barbarous activity
it is only like this now
leaves any thought of desire
it is only like this here and now
unrepeatable, immeasurable
a palimpsest of this moment
an unrepeatable skin
glistening in the streetlight
it is only like this now
