angst cycle (iii) 
[θ] (i)
pas accident 
j’ai crée a reputation online 
wit no accident 
but sophistication de la nuit 
i have not that 
i have never
 
c’est mon arrondissement 
le nom 
le reputation 
iowan 
i have not it built 
i have it though annointed
 
it is a hum 
to lost is to fell 
a hollow earth beneath
mon innocence ancient
 
i feel like a slow walker 
herded by cyclists 
i was dawdling 
they misread their map
 
all i said was 
no this is that path 
and suddenly i’m the trouser 
wainwright
 
it’s a crap so inaccurate 
it’s like seeing an open atheist 
pray religiously to mecca
 
but i do need 
to pull the string 
tug the ocean monster 
out the underneath 
to sunburn land
