People cruising

Toyotas the rose desert                                    breaks

everywhere                because they are on its surface then

only
a woman ignorant and from eyes blank gloating savaging
others     speaking only     no one speaks there they’re

not reflected in her eyes her

either for her anywhere

tyranny of inverted in her/gloater’s being defined as the
social outside

their kindness            a train hurls on tiers seen in the sky

no sight admitted
into the gloating one savaging others then doesn’t make

sights                                      cattle came to a blossom

in others

so a man threw a ball

blank to everyone is inverted by her savaging speaking

only they cruise the
rose train surface

at

night

no reflection of anything on the rose floor everywhere

they leave the side

Authority or abandoning had to have been before
As in the middle                                                    midst
so (one) is not outside either first
its/their weight is on (in) horizontal night as day also in

that                   place ‘trees’ ‘words’

a man regards people as only to serve
him
sees nothing but matter             anyone               at the
requirement of someone else on the condition of their

slav   ery
to him                     people given up are not slaves then
offed
abandoned
they

are set loose          black smoke comes out of a woman’s
mouth                                      their black flowers there

the soldiers walk

authority had to have been (before in one)         so (one)
is not outside either first
the roads to                                                     see
bombs hidden on the roads, a walking soldier may

be                   blown in a road they make

the                      invaded the living citizens arrested shot

coming to the soldiers
only driving
thin armor chicken-winged holding                            it on
the soldiers’ arms to their sides

at the side of night loose
everywhere
there is no weight in or on it ‘actually’

(it’s only)                                        in occurrence (one’s)
so they have ‘imagined’ ‘one’ is not there

after or first                  no one                   outside either
everywhere so                  the ‘flat’ being of plants rose
trees                                 without their blooming without

it bloom
she          a man who’s kind a man threw a ball leaves

the side

no cobalt night can be there their singing at once is the emerald

hill alongside a dark blue
day only one

that authority only abandons and offs would have
to have been that authority’s occurrence, (night isn’t) the con
dition of slavery, before

is one
defined from that authority, both, seeing the definition of outside
and not

the people fan out cruising                     the rose
