chilly and faint sun 




        all saw there in headlights glare
        waving arms huge puppet spit out curse

                                destructive principle occurred 
                                stone marble bronze left by centuries                  
                 

        wrenched slide brought out splash of power
        cliff fishtailed gouging furrow 

                                masterpieces remain 
                                vast ugly fragility 
                                masterworks vast sifted residue

        sweeping curve on stolen time
        headlights burned out hole

                                phenomena nomadism
                                decline of imperishable

        stink of burned hung in air
        thinking damned hands slammed hell

                                authority mysticism law
                                usurping power of speed
        
        fumbled noticed shaking lit words
        lights of another flicked back fear

                                wholly new phenomena
                                absolutely huge and fast

        throwing over cliff
        light swept on past
        frozen expressionlessly

                                hillside sited horizons
                                immense perfected body

        red tail light let out breath
        wide-set mouth conjured dream

                                responsive to utility
                                lines and foundations

        crazy engine wheel my brain
        halfway expect a mountain jump

                                loom out of confused launch
                                into sky mount clouds hands

        opened tongue snake painting
        rockface a stream of hell smoke

                                shadow definitive twisting
                                racing create speed abolished space

        somewhere a hell stranded thing
        going frozen to a straightway

                                diminished time multiplied
                                abolition of phenomena fused

        watching eyes looked back again
        closed mouth words stare in hand

                                tragic return losing minds
                                noctambulism melted day and night

        long incline merged into maze
        neons tires force contact edged

                                expressed whirlwind intense ideal
                                savage eruption cruel violence

        staring sign flashing light
        waving trouble smoke over ice

                                struggle provoked decisive gain 
                                Manifesto a hurricane racing
                                beautiful explosive gift

        watch it crack and shatter force
        horrible contraction scream 

                                beautiful framework color of danger
                                arms claw comb out stars comets eye

        throat beam trouble hung for effect
        sudden urgency quick hand in flesh


                                skeleton rhythms hammers hearts time 
                                let it happen great drop of blood

        fluid motion no doubting meaning
        amplified legs awake came on ahead

                                burning passion built bivouacs
                                immense impassioned ever-changing Future
