transported to London as an infant
haunted for decades, never to return
enticed by poetry, by words, by books
celestial distance measured by sextant
useless as a navigator, black sails
landmark sighted, imagine blue skies burn
terrible memories, recorded looks
ingrained with forgotten idle chatter
vacate body and mind if all else fails
alleyway with no name, unlisted house
terror unwise, street life, a gap tooth smile
inventions without design, pipe dream mouse
obsolete games overrun by a mile
nervous children chant hey batter batter
orbits elliptical circle round spheres
furniture lacks springs, cushions lacking foam
installed in Kew Gardens, settlement plan
noticeably undecided, shapes fears
slip back and forth between time signatures
excite sensory nerves, archers do roam
culturally old world, spanners do span
urban suburban vanity mirror
ride shock waves Huntington Beach, ligatures
insightful down rabbit holes, newsworthy
trade blonde hair blue eyes, expressive brown eyes
intelligence lacking orange scurvy
entranced by language hiding truth in lies
sentenced life, der Führer in a furor
