Places 2: In Buckhead, corner of Peachtree and Piedmont

It's a message in a bottle worth flinging back to when They Really Thought About These Things, that this place is a dystopian clusterfuck that managed to sneak up behind us, that they're right about the old days and revolutions, that it's worth it to go back in time and meet ourselves and shout to high heaven before passing out from the causality loopishness of the entire endeavor. Don't let this happent to you! This being the incoherence of stripmalls unencumbered by mishmash of skyscraped hijinks encumbered by low clouds unencumbered by planes and planes and planes and underneath all that war among the lanes for the sake of minute advances, sad but true, obvious but true, though if it were obvious enough, explain the need for passing out from the causality loopishness of the entire endeavor. It's a grusome babelizing fling to the top of the world around here, and to say we saw it coming all along is to take arms with the rest of the shovelers. Quiet. You always were before.

Places I: MARTA train between Buckhead and Medical Center

Hide your yourness better. Hide and scared and subverted cul-de-norms, to be kept from sitting down next to a sitting soul. Notorious hellfire lightening rods and let it be through an invisible hand of letting it rot much, careful, careful, there are images to keep up. A national covenant of Stop! This! Scene!, exiled in the middle of the middle of the rest of us, those who know and know more and better, let the smug be damned and defining us more.

I squint at morning light through far window, then far window, then that window then this window then squinting still. Lowering my chin like the rest of them here, tired and downtrodden and giving the coats on coats thereof, better than the cars north and south on either side of us and our Train.

You'll be paying for it come rush hour.

Promises.
