A city of a million lights thirteen hundred homes — on yesterday's lunch. From the Office of Civic Digestion — a report to the American city. The city is one great digestive body — it eats at one end and delivers fuel at the other. A million citizens deliver thirty-two tonnes of dry fuel a day. Burned honestly, it lights a single luminous ward — thirteen hundred homes. But tonight's light is not tonight's meal. It is yesterday's, still in transit. The city's tomorrow is already eaten, moving slowly toward the plant. The full findings are on file at literalshitposts dot com.
