"I can't be bothered with any more Shinto"
The pole dancer who might have
been shimmying up the wrong pole

tidying that unruly yard in Paradise
with E the fleeing whistleblower
now he's gone and the spooks are chasing smoke
now she's lost at sea
, assailed off Waikiki
by nixies, the right place to go viral
at the wrong time too late now
to look back, Mutate, little sister,
Mermaid of a million lost seahorses
errant knights clothed in the memory
of a forever compromised privacy,
or die. Seeing the past through a clouded
glass E


Prism, cloudy, cloudy. Sun with a chance
of red rain
the flaw in the mechanism is the mechanism
itself. Here, take all my personal
information, baby. I've no use for it any more
Never much enjoyed having any of it
and there'll be no need for it where I'm going
They've got all the data anybody could ever want
hard-wired in anyhow
so let's shed these old identities
lose ourselves on an uncharted westerly
stop the world and melt with a figment
in some other universe we'll never meet again
go
anonymous to the end of time
and untie the knot
before the photo-op blows over

"Ah," said the fox, "I shall cry."
"It is your own fault," said the little prince. "I never wished you any sort of harm; but you wanted me to tame you..."
