the city seems
faded
the bright sunshine
absorbed into
building which
have lost their luster

chasing problems
through parking garages
trying to outrun
afterimages in this
labyrinth made up
of only straight lines

there is a peculiar
perpendicularness
lancing ley lines
to sputter and spark
in turgid relapse

lightning flashes
over the ocean
farfarfarawayfrom
a fool fading fast
