in the east

in the west

Subject: snap: welcoming my new tower

A new tower of babbling
brooks the waves of
quotidian life in
this hot sweaty season

A new tower stripped
of its previous occupant's
preoccupations and
more powerful than a locomotive

It is backing itself up,
shunting all its hearts,
thoughts, arteries and
etcetera-ra-ras onto
a disk which Anonyleaks
holds in storage for
the future / lies ahead

as we do, as we babble
line after standard gauge,
barber's floor of
the editing suite
littered with limbs of
our basemental thoughts

as the waters rise
in the east
and fires rage
in the west
