Constant

 

If so the only moment to speak will vanish.

Happening at time will trace back event to building of structure.

Multiply the commonplace divided by homonymy. Travel is post-lyric.

Why have we paths… partitions… if not for substitution? Why have we

come here gathered to be guided if not having lost or arranged for displacement?

Unraveled: avoidance of views: a body positioned in front of a grid: face seen despite:

window slat, lamppost, tree branch: despite. Window of: public face: perch gaze: stare.

Window of: unknowing, or if making. I saw: your replacement, walking around the city.

She is another of you, her thoughts are of your mouth. Sight of breath, avowal: site.

// emerged from doorway // clattering // deflecting //

a forwarding of…. we grow farther, covered over with our walking,

our paths making inter – integrations. Interred, disabling.

(People are covering.) (People put up their faces.) “People are trouble.”

Calling to reference. Referencing. Something detailed. Rehearsal

for façade-crack, crackle of: constant buzz or collapse of… If you can come, please come.
