Wormed to Pin Time (Voices from a Distance)
Below is a series of walkie talkie messages from distant outposts in cold space relating to the mob of Mr Martin, Mr Johnny Ynshe, and the Architecture Kid who have made the earth their base of operations. These operatives always speak in a complex code of associational lines speaking obliquely and beside the point... it is up to the inspectors to move in and make a definitive arrest... time coordinates are marked in blood cold metallic skies of space... Mr Martin Mr Johnny Ynshe the Architecture Kid we move through walkie talkie coded messages cold distant space...
Thin Time I open radio silence...
//Radio silence opened to Ward E
Ward E time 10:10 am—remote viewing anticipated rockslide//
Asshole falling//word falling//grey light in the bush of ghosts//
//Rockslide time where the light is thin—Mr Martin Mr Johnny Ynshe The Architecture Kid—we gather heat in hotel room number 23
Hotel room gathered alabaster moment—dust on the dresser—dust on the flesh of Mr Martin Mr Johnny Ynshe The Architecture Kid//
Radio static tower from far off distant planets... antennae open up into metal air like insect feelers... thin time... fragments of Mr Martin Mr Johnny Ynshe the Architecture Kid... white lightning rode alabaster skin... the three men stood at the bar sipping warm beer the device held between them in an old overcoat... ravages of war evident on his thin face he looked in the mirror nothing and nobody home... paper trees and paper moon silver static of answer no answer...
Ward E mutter old overcoat... over static voice to hear...//
//Held overcoat voice to hear... blind voice to held time...
1920s vaudeville actors another time another face... held stasis in transition...//
//stasis held like overcoat mutter cold distant travel plans... ride panpipes back to basic coordinates...

//Cold alone distant time we stood in the bar of another time another face...
You see the operatives work like this they take a human host and there they are another time another face hard to pin them down exactly it takes a good detective and a whole lot of sniffing to figure out where the sonofabitch is headed to... voice to hear the heat moved in like warm beer sweeping the compound for any mineral trace of the mob who had made the earth their basic base of operations... walkie talkies from distant space the voice wormed through like black ooze... hideous grotesque the pissoir was full of blood and dead leaves... subway station 1920s actors... bright movie faded sepia tone... the inspector takes his time does his work and leaves... messages from the distant star over walkie talkies dim and distant...
