[they are....]

they are stopping to consider the trees
how a shopping trolley
to roll the wind track like a trail
yes, Timothy was nice

only eat drink sleep
or once in a while
presently smelling so new
all blown to hell gone out
another happens, or is happening
so sporting like cricket the seabirds

there is formica there are robots
to be scared of an absence
as I to be bookish
and unending a fillet
summers day or
toothy grinning man

a street corner or elevator
buried as iconoclast
over stopping foppish radio
and department stores
a loop that is dependent
contextually the dew
floating over bridges
brittle to support breakage
a jawbone

It flows smoothly over the channels, loops and varied conclusions I found in your poem. Dreadfully good piece.

Wow, this is brilliant. It feels as if quicksand or some kind of eerie breeziness run through the lines.

Thanks for this one, Ross.

Wow, Ross. The entire poem is stunning. I particularly love:

"there is formica there are robots
to be scared of an absence
as I to be bookish
and unending a fillet
summers day or
toothy grinning man"

And always when i'm reading something that i like very much it's given an inpiration to me:

i sometimes to cut-up poems and your poem give an inpiration to this...

seabird
robotbird

filled with radiosummers
roll
roll-oll-roll
