"City Body" Pigeoning to Towerself

"First in Violence, Deepest in Human Dirt, Landless, unlove--rly, Ill-smelling, Irrepressible , Nude; An Overgrown Slack-Jawed Gawk of an Asshat's Wet Dream, The "Tough" Among American Cities of which there is but One, a Spectacle for The Slumbering Nation. Quite Simply: Hell has been described as a Pocket Pussy Edition of Chicago & therein lies The Pulse of Our Blowhard Pride"

– Boris Izsus

“Under The Skin, it Smells like a Dumpster” – Yahtzee Mitzsugurshi


I.


In this City, Built over a Swamp, You’re


1. Within a City in which to Piss out one’s Identity

2. Within the EL Train looking for someone to say something to someone to anysomeone

3. Within the Notion of getting inside Anyone anyone please get me up in someone’s Skin

4. Within the Heat of these Streets in June, I’m Swollen with the Terror of how This is all too Fucking Much

5. Within the Solidity of one’s Bones us/up against the Wall to draw out Our own Conclusions end in Confusions

6. Within the Presence of the Other was the Construction of Us was our wasing was

7. Within the Thought “I want to Muck about with you” under a Tree in August where our Sweat sludges us to Secretly Touch

8. Within the Inability of this Sense of how we’re Blinded by the Impossibility of not just being Ourselves

9. Within the Trash of the Storm widening it’s Leash, to roll out another Memory, another Failure

10. Within the Blank Page you become my Neighbor, which I wholeheartedly Despise

11. Within the Dream in which we Sensed our Physical Declines or, as if Children, Frozen, in a Smudge

12. Within the Flames of our Tensions from Uptown to we’re going Southbound, Baby

13. Within the Subscription you Hold: Your Boredom is Immeasurable, you Poor Little Thang.

14. Within the Ah Motherfucker when you reach the End of the Line on the EL & well lookie here you’re Shit outta Time

The City’s Streets Sing of Glories I’ve yet to Sling. I want that Bitch all over me. In this Location, I’m surely, I’m Fucked. I adore that my Privacy has a Curfew, which makes me Sucker. The City’s Space, is beginning to invade that Other City’s Face up North. We Parasitic the Land & Captivate in good ol Fashioned Melodrama. Politics? Just keep your Mouth shut when you Eye me. You show your True Grit in this City. The Voice? Fuck it right on Down to the Low to the Music in which Unearths the Terror of your Life that you Endlessly attempt to Face to only end in Facewash. I’m Bloated. Bloated with my Desire to Absorb each & every one of my Fellow Inhabitants. & this Hurts me, when I am alone, going blank without a Proper Representation. There are so many Disarticulate People here, boning about like a Dog in my Lap. Against the Burst of Architecture, here in the Loop, along the River it’s Maze, I’m shy about my own Physical, Deformities give me a Dignified Composure in this House. When The City abuses me, shoves my Face in the Grind of the Street & the Hollers that Howl against my Ears which drive me Mad, so Mad & I know then that I must be Loved. Sweetheart, your Health wasn’t Invited. The Equation that Proposes, my Life is Missing something in this City. My Heart begins with you & in only you. Botulism of the Affections. I’m getting a free-ride to my own Funeral. On the Foot the Bill. One City is my Emotional Limit. Whatever you say Dollface. They’re in The Bar again talking about Beginning again. This City is aging me to the Point of. I find it difficult to just Eat my Limit bars my Strength so to Shovel more in at 3 a.m. & then some more so that my Belly is it’s own City to State. I have been Shit on by a Pigeon 3 Times now. Never in Chicago but once on my way to a Date. There is a Man inside a Room, with the Blinds Drawn, Sweating Alone, holding his Heart in his Jaw, bending a Refrain of the Train Strings us/up until the End the End
