gruelled by the grind
...
right-angled right back
where i came from
by the
constant perpendiculars
...
...
turned square
...
turned square again
...
turned back on myself
...
turning the internal corners
...
and
...
nailing myself shut
...
forms to fill
thinlining the
head
flatlining the...
blips of the brain
time to squeeze
to squeeze thinner
time to grid
to divide into smaller and smaller squares
and squeeze again
...
time squared squeezed squashed and squandered
...
forms and lines and schedules and percentages
grids and grills and griddles and greys
...
grinds and growls and grounds and gruels
...
forms formulas and formulations
modules and modulations
squee-squah-squar-squan-squi-
regularised space
rectangular white between darkness,
between lines,
gridded air,
gridded space,
gridded thought,
gridded imagination
gridded hours
right-angled right back where i came from
by the constant perpendiculars
...
nailing myself shut
...
with a hammer bang
a key tap
a machine drum
a steam hammer
a clock tick
every exact second
...
nailing myself shut
in time with the ticking of the clock
in rhythm with the tock
...
...
