On this issue

there is no silver bullet. Again, it isn’t a win-or-lose
thing, and it’s not that I

allege that the move
was timed to divert attention from

proprietary rights over
the disruptive

patternings, which, at the micro and macro levels, disperse
a surveillant’s attention

to either staged, strategic, gradual withdrawal
or a surge, brief and temporary, in advance of handing over

a photorealistic, that is, depictatory pattern,
such as leaves and branches,

which does work, but only in
a local context, out of which

cutting and running is not on the table. Again,
there is no silver bullet.

Movement can give the target away, as can
shadow. In natural settings,

night is a camouflage, as is shadow.

Silver Bullet
Black Sites
You blindfold, strip naked, and administer
a tectonic rift, 2,800 miles across the face and

pay lip service
up to 4 miles deep, and meaning mariner valley,

for extraordinary rendition

or just say anything, after enough
Universal Declaration of

the inadequacy of in-place legal structures, so extrajudicial
channels, but later mis-translated “canals”

can’t hold you without trying
…when you let somebody else do the dirty work.

No right of appeal, no name, no charges filed—a ghost detainee
of course in the United States

misspelled his name,
which meant snows and later Mount

erroneous rendition, then, an attempted reverse
by proxy

is where you hide one part of yourself from the rest,
which means nowhere plain,

where contact with the craft was lost on
the surface of Mars, dry and igneous,

looking a lot like the American Southwest,
and meaning you have the body.

World of Hurt
It got so I was always afraid.
I want to be married in the church in the town where I’m from.

I could have left, but I didn’t know where to go.
No, I don’t know why it’s called an APC.

I want things to stay like they are now.
I wanted things to be like before.

We just went out to sweep, I guess.
In my own mind, I go back every day.

I was so jumpy I could never get a cold or get sick.
I do miss it.

I called because I wanted to tell them how brave he had been.
I go out there every day.

Yeah, I do. Sometimes I can’t get my head right.
That’s my personal war now.

I thought it was a good idea at the time.
I was looking for something.

What I did, most people wouldn’t do it.
I looked down and saw my legs were gone.

You can apply with even one day of active service.
I want them to take me back to the town where I was born.

I said, whoa, I’m in a world of hurt now.
