As the brain taps out and the deadline looms
body and soul are trapped and locked
in a cage on a rail that circles this room
circles this room like the hands of a clock
that ticks without speaking and talks
of a presence that waits like a womb:
nine months to explosion that can’t be stopped
on a calendar or clock: all time to the tomb
as the brain taps out and the deadline looms.

Saving Your Favourites
If you click on the title of a post, you will be taken to the archive copy of the text, where there are many options:
"Print this post" -- creates a printable screen
"Add to Favourites" -- See below
"Related Posts" -- other posts that are in some way similar
"(Visited N times)" -- Started Jan 5, 2010If you click "Add to Favourites", the software sets a cookie on your device. This cookie is quite harmless; however, it saves a list of your favourite posts on this site. Up to 99 of your favourites will appear on your computer only, in the list to the right, on the device that has the cookie. Note that favourites saved on one device will not be favourites on others, and that clearing your cookies will clear that particular device's list.
I am not sure about this, but the favourites list should work, even if you are not a subscriber. I know that it does work for subscribers.
