on a ship or airplane

near a falling actuality
fingertips pealed of skin
someone questions heritage
dirty and wicked
something unspeakable
something advertised
flashing dots
drips water prayers
plague oil fills cracks
walks the street
dreams not walking dreams
using war
to count the days
counts the dead
like like and
like everything else
no script
no follow
no seek
subsidy ready to bank roll
no word
background continuum
blazes burning
suburbian brighter white
grabs a voice
grabs a body bag
squeezes the throat
leaves the image
on all the time
