disconnections
A sequence of
disconnections
A: Sydney is beautiful! B: No, Sydney is cruel! A: No, Sydney is beautiful! B: No, Sydney is cruel! A: No, Sydney is beautiful! C: Sydney is beautiful and cruel. 2 Raskolnikov killed an old lady to make a point. 3 A sequence of disconnections 4 A: This is an asylum. B: No, this is an exile! A: No, this is an asylum! B: No, this is an exile! A: No, this is an asylum! C: This is an asylum and an exile. 5 The rays of sun as tough as one week's stubble 6 A line of beads in sand 7 A: Those lines don't cross... B: And yet, they are not parallel. A: They remind me of a ladder. B: They remind me of spokes from the wheel of time. A: They remind me of the cross. But only remind. 8 And dryness settles for long, forever, 9 Exile healed him. At the river bank covered with pale moss, with a prostitute beside him in a scarf scarlet as the lung blood, Raskolnikov eventually repented - not without the help of the old lady, now long dead and presumably free, who otherwise would have ended up miserably in an asylum. 10 A: Beauty is cruel. Take Sydney! B: But is cruelty beautiful? Take Raskolnikov! 11 O beautiful exile! O cruel asylum! 12 O rusty rails, where the West ends.
Sydney, 2008
