clever notes on the fridge
they tell a brain of
the enemies and
their whereabouts
the details are clear
zone and maps of
pagan roads
of ruined cities
our fences electrified
where flying moths die
and hands of the savages burn
this isolation is oblivion
where secret codes
are memorized
we have foreign names
like chemistry symbols
on plastic charts
