midnights of consciousness. still, and even silent,for now the jets are grounded, due to lack of visibility, & only random thought & squads of landladies' plaster ducks attempt flight. occasionally an owl thuds into a building. it is always dark now, the air a factory black like X-rays of the children's lungs. the coated earth is brittle, dead horses rot slowly where they fall. using modified radar & homing devices, vehicles crowd roads, sightless, to carry workers from their shelters to factories. a distant, hardly safer government issues voluminous decrees which litter the towns like printed snow. also the works of the Official Poets, whose genteel iambics chide industrialists for making life extinct.
