"I'm alert," says writing "I'm ever alert"
—chorus:
BUT IS IT?

Solitude as fortitude—typing rhythm—k'ee k'ee k'ee k'ee k'ee k'ee
Radiance gullible, ghostly face—k'ee k'ee k'ee ("blink! blink!")

Commmes of a sudden—of a must've but didn't notice can't remember some sort of trick, shrill ring in the ears ceaseless throbbing deeessstiny
Somnambulist at the caboose controls
on the horn to central
"Can we get some traction here?"
The last four years slipping away merrily
Gorge, has it been waiting there all along?
Administration, are we auto-administrative
tussled psyche, cramped
trampolining—

I could—
I squak vexed
I squak

"I'm alert" says writing

Commmes—of a—

By smitten & bitten
By special appearance

O pirated time
O sovereign allowance
O dukedom of dorky moments
O lunk-around of liminal spaces
Dump the conceit.
