Memorandum
To: All Department Heads
From: Angel of Rust
cc: The Limit of the Line
Date: Week One, Monday
Subject: To stay the lingering effects of such a hemorrhaging
Is the disappearance of the public beach front
insisting relentlessly on the need for difficulty
between appointments
shouldering no obligation to move
to form and on to judgment
Inevitable that in the moment of formation
the twins prestige and permanency
efface to reflect the convulsing effort
to ever postpone suspension
in lingering by the pool side exhausted
In this persistent fall out of history
unlikely the last
against an encumbered iridescent sheen
fulfilled and thereby abolished by blockage
hemmed in by grand-opennings and foreclosures
Commit the fragmentary and occasional
not to memory but in orchestrating the abolition
of value as such and ends so-called
mobilizing their antiquated transcripts
of what no longer is as absent as what never was
only being left its opposite
withdrawn from circulation in the void
of interregnum now upon us
the very absence of theory will become a force
as it seizes
