In the future of glass

Blessed by an iron heel

We, the Panopticate

Holding mind over mind

Circle the inspection house:

Unnumbered souvenirs

Who remember hunting swans.

Reformed, preserved, invigorated, diffused.

Not cut, untied by an Algonaut

With a hundred eyes.

Forged by icebreakers,

Reading verse at public executions,

Dreaming of birds repopulating cities.
