In a world of surfaces 

cool prevails 

what’s never revealed 

must be estimated 

 

energy becomes 

situational 

JG Ballard’s now 

on the show  

 

Julie London on Emergency 

television shapes careers 

that voice haunts my machines  

mixing dreams and memories

 

at the hospital on cigarette break 

in my ears as an adult 

that cool sense of grace 

is what the world’s missing now
