       lead is used to contain corrodible materials,
       ie. sulfuric acid,

                                      under intense pressure,
                                      rocks liquify to absorb a blow,

the code gives out before the logic of nerves
which bear it,

autopsies and gris
ly accidents reveal.

      we dis shock. we dis disaster. motherfucking TV news show common sense.
      an audience applauds. when everything (cue everything) smoked and melted,
      the spine goes lead with shock, glass keeps solid for a spell a fireman, holds
      what – scorched notebooks, a lamp.  Americans in real esate and funds with
      stable return

      (oh but that’s gone now,
      gravity

      struck by disaster
      and still insisting on picking up

     the check.
     inviting what response

              repose
