Wax pain 		rewound 
    through the stitch of 
ligament, a glitch system 
   segment, plastic static delay, 
paper slate stone 
tile floors, the vertebrae 
       of silence waking 
  in a chiseled stint of 
  reef. A cellular wave head
ache splayed, grey chains, 
                code locks latched around 
the captain's wrists; black iron 
       linked to the steering 
column of an aft-wheeled ship. 
The wooden boat 
electric, sinking 
     against the coral membrane 
between the 
       spiral spinal chord of 
comprehension - a burgundy sailor's cap 
    suspended above a neon green lightning 
strike. Skim 
the satellite parade of 
human resource; 
   casino.
