a poem by Whyt Pugh

Unrealized potentialities

evaporate in the fluorineflicker

of a synthetic sun

whoreshipped by the shopper

as it drowns the fragilenight

of annihilated archetypes

Corporate priests preside

over prophets predicting

the ebb and flow of thenotional

Mark it

with the barcoded stigmata

of progress

replacing

darkness and poetry and my

lie nation

Capitulating concepts to theGlow,

as servants to the Screen

The walls of the capitolcastle have

Multiplicity blind to thebind
