making the scene: 1974 curls in nudie pix

his left pupil,

untethered,

a fugue childhood of monticule hunger

on loan,

uncomfortably,

wide-eyed face in cathode ray fuzz

hell-shock door,

unlocked,

“fuck away from the exhaust vent above”

a hive of,

undone,

winces and infuriating accents

hog moans,

unloosed,

some person needles and brays

a retching,

unspooled,

squanders of a man and urine spatters outside

seen: prescient limps in the viewfinder

scene: transient muzz of voices trailing

“When they give you lined paper, write the other way.”

— Ray Bradbury
