a system
		drained off to emptiness
boats where they
				tipped sideways
a variety of drunks
liquidless
tipped sideways

land-living fauna
stepped their way
beyond the two-dimensioned harbour
sinking outside the box into yellow and green

there, tattered birds chatter
at each other
and squabble
			smacking out brutality
new relentless applications
of tiny end waves
to the unintended picture
in which every mark has its own causality
or its own human purpose

I see it!
I see what you have not seen,
what I have seen from causalities and purposes
and what the eyes take in

I see it, and spray
it with my structures
old tom that I am
