immense fragility w/worlds

[Alan Sondheim]

immense fragility w/worlds

inconceivable complexities that this
comes across / do you think this
survives / one day catastrophe /
disappearance-text / my lovers i rely on
you / my darling protocols / my thin
worm slips in you / one day all of this
collapses / no message / annihilation to
the limit /

infrastructure and subtexts tend to
divide / they're the first things that
fail / the rest follows / after the sur-
face looks normal / as if nothing
happened / just within or beneath there
are things that would astonish / but
communication is cut off / as if this
is your mind / my darlings / my lovely
protocols / not a moment to lose
