1. emissions/
smoggily soft and of the perfect weight
hangs over inexhaustible locales
our night’s itiner’y insists we leave
5+stars to its too shimmering
city scenes’ dazzled bustle to achieve
multi-scale guitar attacks 8-string
tunes of cute cartoonish quiddity
defines the clock we’re propping up to play
whimsic’ly the measures of machine
painted cogs that turn against each swing
the pendulum of industry veers back
banging the bell of seasonal foul air
as the thick quilts of smog enwrap themselves
around our city lights this workday night

nothing beats that freshly minted street
style goes viral syncopated rhythms
tap against our lax capacity
to shift our lazy asses right on down
to their more stable equilibrium
cycle clicks over like their metronome
synchronised budget covers random stress
ticks every box we stack against the tempo
marking quirks of on-the-job performance
sketches our down time costs them vital stats
update their work assessments setting out
to market hard and push that single use
our potent mix of pop-inflected charm
gets all your post-paid hearts to beat as one

3. enthy-meme/
facts & good reasons never good enough
to learn the root conceptual binary
people connect with seeming too sincere
fair-minded knowledge swapping out the logic
speaks for its audience accounts for moral
patronage entails intuitive
rather than discursive radical
commitment to decolonising gender
signified commands & warnings more
than praise & promises of future pay
your sincere faith with certainty the moment
it lands you down in disbelief i fear
the biases of our good spectators
to whom i pose once more a change of heart

4. convictions/
how disquietude must stem in part
from what quaint nature lends degraded value
read into late religious heresies
studied against the spectrum of our travels
down wetlands sampling acid mine effluent
diffusing through to their indigenous
inclusive ancient polytheisms
the old semitic food truck’s menu’s barely
legible icons flash from the touch tablets
swallowed to cure with aromatic salts
precipitate as waste whose caustic sheen
bestows on nature its bright fervent lustre
extruding slowly from the 3D printer
a model of impaired immune response
***
5. dialled-up/
over excessive higher frequency
shock value added stimulus provoking
disclosures of declassified first-person
perspective limits viable preventive
measures successive failures to enhance
responses from repeated assignations
link tantalising journeys round the world’s
spiritual successors morally
bankrupt high street fatalities
result from faulty test equipment newly
deployed with eager haste but lacking training
videos replay incessantly
entice a fatal dearth of inhibition
commingling deep repulsion with delight
