some specific something that's no longer required

Then again, I suspect we've abandoned cities in the past because they were too thoroughly built to do some specific something that's no longer required."

- so you spend your time in vague regret or vaguer hope
- slow as a cloud
- the hand holds no chalk

- some specific something that's no longer required
- sentence
- every time you watch a movie
- a perpetual setting forth
- days before the injury was expected
- a minor light, a cooling star
- constantly lapsing into oblivion
- figureless landscapes drenched in the light worked...
- no moon and the stars sparse
