again[st] genius shyku

sometimes someone
wandering
has

nothing except
in the city many language
diseases, the people

the space between buildings
who talk and cannot
breath

you stop then
in
do not have

out
"what it takes"
again[st] genius and they

are only repeating
sometimes
what they see

like today I saw
gregorian chant poured
all over everything

now in everything, as everything
I keep hearing
their voices, most happily

he lately often does
