From The City Is Lush With / Obstructed Views

Greg Nissan

The economic cartage of night-soil

 Blinking cursor where the river

  Enters our city disguised in

   No, it's original. Researchers place

    Oat flakes on a map

     To watch slime mold reconstruct

      The railways. What doesn't match

       They suggest we amend. Blinking

        Cursor where the river ends

               returns again

Then a most unusual thing

 Commissioned as a tampered acanthus.

  I did not make it

   New. I didn't make it

    At all. We find a

     Bench near the falls to

      Watch the falls. Must I

       Fill in the river's blank?

        Bang bang bang. That's the

               thanks talking

*

After you're dead it pays

 For itself. Mulch, be mouth.

  Mouth, be be. Ciao, baby.

   I signal a left turn

    On the television, history is

     Turn on the television. Laddered

      Flesh I mean sitting watching

       The day go day. It

        Pays to collectivise frustration, tart

               the lemons

Should I rewrite them in

 A lyric mode i.e. deteriorating

  Ratio of acacia to K-hole?

   JK. I'm aching to invade

    Night one must imagine the

     Streetlights saying. It's an impossible

      Game. It's over. The hills.

       No justice. NO FILTER. To

        Get us all in, turnstiles

               demand embrace

Lake lake lake lake lake

 The shorn ablution. Disfrutar its

  Proof-sick city its capsuled

   Axiality, a red sign that

    Reads WATER it's a mixed

     Aquifer but what sieves in

      Leaves juridical patinas. Let's meet

       In another life, I'm busy

        Finding an apartment. Green gate,

          draped charnel

*

A horrible ending I continue

 Drizzling kill-counts along the canal

  In theory the lamplight distends

   No, it's original. Dappled in

    Juridical moonlight, a stone admits

     NO FILTER. It's that simple.

      Terraces full of alluring air

       Rights. It's my life: it's

        Never. Chafed bricks made accusative

          thanks, weather
