double echo - concrescence lyrics
cog within cog
actuator in waiting
a fulcrum looms
like a sansui painting
the twisted alloys ache permanency
resulting only in the temporary
this involute tooth
slipped of era
it’s origins antikythera
angular answers to circular problems
push on the shapes the voids condemn
anaerobic dawns, metallic concretions
inverted multi+storeys
hung from glass ceilings
and what we can’t find at all
is a nucleus
a palpatating heart
inside these city walls
the insectile glimmer of a thousand marching drones
reflecting in the prisms; floodlit conditioned p+wns
glittering against the neon of a hundred computer screens
littered from the penthouse to the subterranean
echoes from the subway, the thunder of machine
propels us slowly onwards, to the rhythm of our memes
too scared to pull the threads that unravel from the seams
we stare to broken mirrors seeing pages of magazines
words that break the silence range from trite to the obscene
yet are the only things we have outside the gristle of our dreams
