holiday in cambodia
i walked through the set of blade runner this morning
overhead cables and antennas
bore down on the dirty colours of the street
& i was caught quickly
in this mechanic web
a sudden subject
in an empire of signs.
i deciphered numbers such as:
seven &
eleven
in a foreign script
(only because i recognised their colours)
i flattered myself
that i could read a poetic language
accessible to all the senses
i reversed the alchemy of the word
and i learnt the meaning
of "fitting in"
by not fitting in
watching my body pulse &glow
like an amputated limb
and in the same second
dissolve
into the diesel laden air.
