I
i have little love for pavements
but i love these heels
and it's better than carpet
click
it's the best of a bad situation
and click
up -
it's the only vaguest hint of the moon -
only -
we're disconnected, here,
underground
together
unphased, as it goes,
it's tell don't show,
but no one really knows
II
it's capitol -
underground mice
underground wind
underground blood
underground
it's colder than home
it cuts right through -
oh,
you can't tell?
thanks for letting me know;
your coat makes you look three times bigger
and now you're a seat
III
i try to decipher the central line seat cushions
i try to move beyond a simplistic qualitative evaluation of dirt
or quantity
from zero to northern line -
were i only buttressed on both sides
fall up
i keep my waterline from adverts
watch a corner embroider
IV
fifth floor and flattering mirrors -
two -
it's creative use of space, up here,
held together by incomprehensible lamp wiring
and progressive toilet roll placement -
i could be anywhere
i'm complement by water
but i brought my own teabags
'cos i only drink gold
