# one night in new mombasa freeverse
new mombasa - your single main psychic demand
music video here
a chance to walk among the towers tall
to take in those steeply-angled temple walls of global business hyper-cults
and soak in heavy warm rains that lash in unimpeded from the clouded west
to run down empty streets tungsten tai chi sword on back marveling at the scale of automated construction
the uncertain sense of strange ideas made smart-concrete; proud imagination manifested
in the name of organic commerce war a dangerous theatrical backdrop for violent performance
everything strictly functional operational - yet the function itself unknowable
dropped in from high orbit a hard coded landscape for this near future alien anthropologist
with your blood diamond eyes and the latest in synthetic personality deconstructs
exploring nonplaces where emotional micro-textures feature extensively as fragmented signposts
neon soaked information mazes - bright days delayed the evenings merely troubled
thunder headed spaces embattled cyphers flashes of fleeting algorithmic insight without direction or common meaning
and yet always the central space elevator guardian - a dimensional tether to visions of beyond
you alone waiting in your room peering out at an as-yet unlived half life
eight hundred floors up and still no signs of daily existence - just potential encounters
the new chrome coffee maker burbles on the table brewing a local parasitic vine with unique properties
memory strands freshly picked from african branches outside the armored hotel window
the smell reminds you of ir perfume; strong citrus notes belie a sense of accurate recognition or representation
only ceaseless rain - lost hours wandering unnamed backstreets in search of research and development
cognitive enhancement for off world data hunters somehow gladly shipwrecked on this abandoned urban desert of the real
a thoroughly modern dislocation heavily optimized for oddly disconnected states of being-in-megacity blue
