colonic irritation... enzymeless

...
...

149 bus from Stoke Newington to Hoxton
Bendy bus
A giant gurgitating stomach
Seats and standing and aisle
A bus-sized intestine digesting people for five

ten

fifteen minutes and then

excreting them out the sides onto the pavement
…
The ruminative road-rattled churn
The soft shoving grind of bodies
The air and light and shape and shadow slowly pushing against each other
Freezedried in an enzymeless light

A fecundless bright

Maintaining/ Inanimating them in unreaction

…
The Vancouver buses are also bendy buses
Yet they do not
Repeat not
Feel like colons
…
So why do the London bendy buses
Feel like stomachs
Digesting people?
