As the synth cries, I see him

Cut through the park

Cold glass

Office block

Silk screen sky

Down past the boating lake

Where the town leans over

Stave of neon flow

Neuro-tunnel strobe

Trainers

Trench coat

AO portfolio

Cyber-succubae

Pulsing colour chimes

The song of power lines

I found asylum with the mindless

Disconnecting the child

Multi-storey

Concrete cladding

Carefree smile

She’s so much at ease

In those passionless aisles

And he’s taking the path

That leads to the ring road

I feel the tube way

Throb

Chasing photon bars

Sonic angel-fire

Through stucco stratospheres

Retrolectrica

Jet stream roar

Pure and remote as

Daydreams on air

I see him walking

To the other side

They call it The Institute and

I can taste it now

Ring road

Roundabout

Studio

Wall

The brutal design

Where her absence resides

Trainers

Trench coat

He cuts through the park

Down past the boating lake

Where the town leans over
