the DMZ show-and-tell: the border apparatus humming overhead — "some kind of coming storm-front held…"

Experialism as ambient infrastructure: while three boys plan a drug experiment, an "E.W.D. transnational catapult" fires a "waste-displacement projectile" north and the "ATHSCME fans along the Lowell-Methuen stretch of border" shove a storm-front back — the machinery of the gift-territory audible and overhead, so routine that no one looks up. The political fact of the reconfigured border is delivered as weather. (The annular-fusion physics of the waste-cycle is annularity's; landed here as the border apparatus as daily fact.)
