re: action
in formation
 
a lifeforce flows in these magnetic patterns
fielding an iron planet, filling joyful
beings with premonitions of disasters;
electric impulses compel our muscles
to acts of faith or defiance; video
conferences take place behind these shut
 
doors; the rhythmic valves open & shut
in isometric, biographic patterns
reduced to blip & pulse in video-
graphic representation of every joyful,
wilful or unwitting move of muscles;
our best intention may lead to disasters
 
piled in smoky pile upon disasters
in dusty cities; rivermouths are shut
by seismic spasm of tectonic muscles
contracting in hyperperistaltic patterns;
musical forms ignite a simple joyful
neurotransmitted response on video
 
screens in quiet chambers; video
games erupt in choreographed disasters
from flights of finger four formation, joyful
pilots in lockdown, quiescent suspects shut
in soundproofed rooms; psychodramatic patterns
provoke involuntary moves in muscles
 
sensitised to allegory, muscles
attuned to catastrophic video
representation of ideas in patterns
that predicate predicted grave disasters;
we enter this with all our senses shut,
minds in denial, heartbeat oddly joyful,
 
the tip of each finger four points to turn joyful,
exciting contradictions in the muscles;
the strongest light, whether eyes open or shut,
four minutes, our pictures & home video –
there’s never any shortage of disasters
laid on each other in interwoven patterns
 
our valves tight shut, our altimeter joyful
with flexing patterns of our complex muscles
reduced to video, seconds from disasters
