After Trout Fishing in America
The city is in my blood now, like
irreducible plastic beads, like the gyres of styrofoam in the sea.
~
The sand beside the sea was recently
below the sea and where it has not been stepped on it lies in a perfect arching
plane, parabolic curves of a hard crust. The coarse grains are held in a crust
of salt that breaks suddenly when touched, as though it had dreamt of falling
apart since it emerged from the sea.
~
Children break the crust of sand with
their feet like robots poorly designed for the purpose.
~
Like a robot, a created thing, my blood
is the city, all the people and buildings run, like an upturned chess set in a
drain pipe, through my heart and veins.
~
Most people don’t play chess.
