Brainscape of concepts
time eaten up lingering in the big urban melting cauldron
time decelerated almost to a halt
slowly grinding to bestow
a sense of immortality
no conjuring the ending of alertness
no avoiding the distance from plague to curse
(when arrived in New York, pigeon droppings
were thought to cause lethality,
to make the constitution weak and miasmatic)
the landscape of notions is circling
around the spirals of universal view-scapes
and minds tethered to decaying bodies
connecting ideas through ether and urban networks
in real-time, in slivers of self-awareness,
as free-wheeling agents move about
in kinetic thrust and soberness, almost
a type of smooth haughtiness
the urban wilderness provided a fertile ground
in endless tunnels of the subterranean I waded
forming concepts and weak hypotheses
among the forests and lakes now theorizing seems
a validation of finite journeys, a seal of mortality
