ASSESING TERRORITY, GAZING WITH GOOGOLS
WIDE OPEN IN ALERT.
GREY, BLACK, THICKLY EYE LASHED, MADE UP WITH GREEN CRAYON.
NARROWS WHEN UNFAMILIAR ENTERS THE EAR DRUMS.
BARCKING TO PROTECT THE ENDLESS, INTERNAL DIMENSIONS.
GUARDING THE FENCE OF ONESELF.
FORCING VIEWS.
SHOUTING OVER EACH OTHER WITH OPINIONS.
EACH WANTS TO BE HEARD. NOW.
I'M O.K. YOU ARE NOT. UNLESS WE SPEAK IN THE SAME TONGUES.
OVERLAP WITH CIRCULAR WRINKLES.
HAPPILY DISCUSSING.
BULLYING GENERATES FROM POWER.
I HAVE BEN THROUGH.
I EXPERIENCED.
I HAVE SEEN.
I HAVE BEEN.
I KNOW.
I KNOW.
I KNOW.
ME.
TACTICS THAT USED TO WORK.
PERHAPS ONCE MORE.
PERHAPS GET ALTERED.
RETREAT TO THOSE WHO TRIED AND TESTED.
NO NEED FOR PROOF.
END OF JUNE.
HOW MANY MORE WILL CROSS THE ROADS?
RIDE THE TRACKS, STOP TO REST, RUN ACROSS, SPEED PAST, PAUSE FOR
BREAK, RETURN?
PASS BY.
THE HORIZON IS CLEAR LIKE
THE SKY AT 5:38 AM.
UNCLUTTERED. SOUNDLESS.
TAXI PARKS OUTSIDE THE GATE.
SIGN READS "POPULATED AREA".

Kasia Burbidge Poem
DO YOU FEEL THE TUNE?
iT GOES DOWN LIKE A SIP OF WINE.
WARM VIA DIGESTIVE, TOUCHES THE LUNGS.
HANGS ON THERE,
TURN IT UP.
TAKE ANOTHER SIP.
LET IT SWING.
BURP.
WAVE THE ARMS.
REACH FOR THE GLASS.
PUT YOUR HANDS TOGETHER.
THOUGHT YOU ARE SAFE.
NO, IT'S JUST YOU AND THE BUBBLE.
DON'T LET IT'S WALL GET PINCHED.
WOULD DEFALTE AND FALL FLAT.
NO, IT'S THE TINGLING SENSATION I'M AFTER.
STRECH. RELAX THE CELLS.
OPEN BUT CONTAIN.
PROTECT YOURSELF.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?
