A few lines from Garbage…

A few more lines from Garbage…
…here the driver knows
where the consummations gather, where the disposalflows out of form, where the last translations
cast away their immutable bits and scraps,flits of steel, shivers of bottle and tumbler,
here is the gateway to beginning, here the portalof renewing change…
