Chapter XIII.

In which Signora Beatrice and Citizen Virgil plot their escape from a panopticon

We can see, --- but what about --- all our progress?
there's only --- the trapdoor? --- an escape route,
thoughts of now --- no, no, not --- in the narthex -
not memories, not --- silence, but --- cruciform acts,
points of view --- in fake blood, --- old jokes from
outside the circle, --- flowing through --- preaching circuits -
no hooks in --- these gutted words: --- all magic bread!
these logos sell --- our staged --- firewater tricks!
the spectacular --- pratfalling --- nuns in bikinis!
