"Writer "
(from The SubWay, a collection of poetry)
Harold
Rosenberg said the most exhilarating thought of the 20th century
was the idea that, “We are making history.”
On the
morning of
Making History
thalamus
to the stars,
these found
eyes and feet, stations under construction
status
spikes in the motor stream, the snappy red accelerated
a casual
evening underground
speed
codes,
the dead
man’s control,
the search
for timetables,
final
stations
this red to
amber to green
this cross
coding of input or buss selections
the human
serial data line and
we are
we are
protocols
and bi-directionals
interrogated by the switcher, disconnected
easy
interfaces in a glass
we are
we are
multiple
loops of the matrix
reptile
conspiracies, the history of this system
