Down in the Mouth

Down in the Mouth

Down in the Mouth

And the job is only half finished.
On paper, the worst is over, smaller niche players
are contributing to that.

A new Spanish-language spot shows
a group of men playing dominoes
like leaves on the sea announcing landfall.
Why the yo-yo move? Why,
it is hard to tell where to begin.

At the best, we can scarcely make our faces passable, though
we torture them with a thousand slops and washes,
and even thus we have much ado to get the man to care for us.
What will become of her then that wears a thicket upon her face?
“I will have mine plucked off hair by hair among the Moors,
rather than not free you from yours.”

But have a care another time of sporting with justice;
for you may meet with some in an office, that may chance
to break your head, while you are breaking your jest.

I have told you the truth; which will always prevail
over falsehood, and rise uppermost,
as oil does above water.

What’s the meaning of better?
The better synonym’s what?

What’s the meaning of both?
Both meaning a three people?

What’s the meaning of right?
Right synonym’s what?

Better early than late.
A better position.

I don’t know both those girls.
Both the boys passed the examination.

Stop bothering me.

Father and dad is the same thing,
a bird has many feathers.

I gathered the students:
Let’s go to the bathroom together.

I’d rather go home.
Are there any other?
Not that one another one.
Mom and mother is the same thing.

Merely the Author Using Handy Language

Merely the Author Using Handy Language

Merely the Author Using Handy Language

We can have no idea how often or on what scale such
names have dropped out of sight.
We should not know it had happened here had not
a few frivolous, intoxicating nullities chanced to
survive and to be reported.
Very likely, page after page, we have not the slightest idea
what was present to the mind of Gardens, the sheer audacity
of whose umbrapoeia holds together impenetrable
remarks about corn-ringed promises which
for all we know may have been
promise-ringed corn
since the syntax permits that understanding,
and may even have come to the American mind from Mexico,
grain-boundary and word-bond.
There is no way to tell.
Sometimes we can tell something.

Athletic wit: the etymology is balbuzie, a stutter in the
lingua franca of paperback antipsychiatry’s
“conditions of possibility” and “resistance to all authoritative readings.”
Gardens wittholds this indiscretion till the penultimate “ward,”
where attention to detail must rhyme it with the daughter’s limping
dance in a passage written (but not published)
two decades prior.

Imaginary Consultation With Saturday Night Live's Jimmy Fallon

Imaginary Consultation With Saturday Night Live‘s Jimmy Fallon
-concluding with a phrase from Dan Reynolds

Are we really all complicit, Jimmy?
“Maybe not, maybe not all the time.
Maybe, if yo’d been the squirrel that
almost hit you you’d have a case, right then.
Maybe if you hadn’t been it because you
were the ants who were taking the body
of the spider. Maybe if you’d been the spider.
Maybe if you’d been the growing grass
and if you’d been the hand that cut it
and you’d been its growth, its cut parts,
and the route that brought the spider to the steps.”
Maybe if I’d been the things I missed?
“And been the way you sensed them,
and sensed that you are and that when it
happens is the least likely time for you to know it.
Even then, you couldn’t (“nor should you.”)

Paul Perry I: Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?

Paul Perry I: Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?

We have to call it by some name –
and if we are looking for new things we shall
find them more easily in (but less easily than) the ancients.
You have heard your own story, you recognize your children,
will you reward the poet?

What usually happens in dreams happened to me.
I abounded in happy curiosities; why should these things,
every one of them, in all their hues and semi-hues,
in all their fades and coita, be faithfully represented
by an arbitrary system of grunts and squeals?

Please do not read reprobation or disdain in the foregoing words.
Surely the merchant did not lie this time.
We, who do not look at one another, will be able to contemplate
the treasures that the stars have promised.
The time will come to count the bodies – but we are
impenitent and even unaware of the implications.

Manual (the mind, becoming a vagina, grasps the finger)

Manual (the mind, becoming a vagina, grasps the finger)
for Gherasim Luca, Intermezzo I for D. Allighieri, Intermezzo II for Ray Davis

I.
Next time we will collect that murmur,
knowing full well a set of silver forks
will not fill the heavy spaces
that sometimes fall between guests.

By dint of a half-seen reflection in those avid suspecting eyes,
the other three of us made sneaky faces to the effect that
there are ____ such that it is impossible to try to separate them.
There probably was, in fact, a sign, but who among us (least of all, me)
would presume a solely nominal concept?

~Intermezzo~ Nine bars of extemporaneous cussing.

II.
The derivation of forms was down off the bluff,
by the river. When would the building connect?
[by the late 1880’s, for two reasons]. Some of us hipped others.
The Apparatus (we’d seen it!) had grander plans in mind –
to go down to the train tracks, to go down to the mall/fountain area –
a lever, as opposed to a switch. Oh, and I forgot to mention,
it’s available at the library. Try not to lift whole chunks out of it.

III.
For my edifimication, a parable:
A boy graduated from school and realized his neighborhood –
previously assumed immaculate…bustling, community-based, industrious,
all the shopkeepers, uncles – emitted a noxious odor. When he arrived
at the city, for university, he –

~Intermezzo II~ Six lines given away.

IV.
By dint of the way your fork scrapes your incisors,
the other two of us made furtive glances to the effect that
there are ____ such that it is useless to try to unify them.
There probably was, in fact, a sign, but who among us (least of all, me)
would presume a solely nominal concept?

V.
For the price of a joke, this judge will burn advice, his tongue will glide toward the spill.
__________________steers clear of the oddest feeling.
Draw me a round circle – nope, fat chance, brother. A fake smile is an admission in any language.

Approach work to find patterns (by reusing a fimiliar example or to help overcome this problem)
to find patterns that had gone unnoticed before – the conventions that we must teach are arbitrary,
beyond being unconnected to learning; we should not claim for them some inherent moral or logical superiority.
Most attempts to defend prescriptive rules by logic don’t hold water anyway, and it’s better not to pretend otherwise.

VI.
So, all my bad luck today was because I had to see you.
I bought a small coffin, because I reckoned that the one
under the ground must have rotted long ago – I suddenly
felt very happy. I was floating in the blissful haze that
characterizes religious transcendence and the onset
of alcohol poisoning. I had an appointment with
People magazine.

“Now I know it’s for places and money and things – not people.”
(Mrs. Leo Warren, 1972)

When putting the yams into boiling water, one should select an odd number of roots, not an even number. A pot should contain yams of only a single color. The vessel of water should be wide so that the yams can spread out naturally.

Whether one is boiling three or five yams, or thirty-one or fifty-one yams, they should fall straight to the bottom of the pot in one mass, neither crowded together nor falling around loosely and leaning against the sides of the pot. This technique is called “resting soundly.”

Some of the yams should stand up proudly, while others recline at angles. Some should be high and some low, with some small space in between, to keep the meal from becoming stiff and unnatural.

The yams should not be disorderly and the arrangement should not be stiff. If one uses onions to flavor the yams they should be hidden. This technique is called “rinsing the mouth of the pot.”

Emphasis Mine

Emphasis Mine

“Promise Corn Ring” is a free unfettered zone
snaking around a counter-reticulation delineating
a sustained conceit.
Gardens muffles and rotates the images on the motif,
while extemporizing (and altering)
root images in the same text-block.
Gardens wrote this about the piece:
“An ametric ring structure whose trans-structural
affinities are positioned somewhere in between
the works of writers like Robinson Jeffers and Nathalie Sarraute…
the fact of this work moves to arouse our intuitions about the
last five hundred years by directing our gaze at the primary
foundation of the ‘poem’…an oscillating poem structure
that implants what this motivic chain can mean in
the unoccupied implications of the poetry.
Poetry will go on forever.”

She also revealed an objective state of affairs.
She corrects this misunderstanding of love: She
confesses to this idolatry. Her generosity of spirit
is not to lay claim to any and therefore not to
desire to own or keep anything, in this life, or the next.

You must fix your gaze. All ____ and ____ must be washed away.

At this moment, I don’t want to explain anything; it doesn’t matter.
You see, I have never had the constitution of a sorceror; my
voice is much farther ahead of my face than it ought to be if
I am to resist lapsing into the refrain that arises from the urge
to create a maximum of unity.

Steam and brass were not invented in Portland.
Old Walt Curtis vs. Young Gerald Burns and who wins?
I’ve been saving Jennifer Robin’s game books – the thing is, there’s
a Curtis connection there, too.

I don’t care.

You should. The Curtis gang are going to get their
dicks caught in their zip.
Who was he when he wasn’t being a symbol?
Animated chiefly by a desire to forget, at least temporarily,
the things he can do or be personally.
Thus, initially, we assumed that the character
speaking in the first person had no relation to us.
We were in the company of a great many people,
outwardly, at least, but we found the passage so onerous
that our sighs could hardly relieve the anguish we felt in our hearts
on drawing farther and farther away from our source of happiness.
A few days after the death of Burns, an event occurred
that distributed praise and blame to their appropriate recipients.
But are our virtues literary or real?

A Religious Procession of One

The third art of living became a burning and unsolvable issue.
The continued search for analogy led to dramatic confusion.

Everything there is beautiful and easy –
everything but leaving!

You’re getting impossible, I didn’t mean that at all.
You’ve misunderstood on purpose.
It means all sorts of things but it doesn’t mean what you think.
We all have to be reasonable or what’s bad gets worse.

Suppose a man is innocent of what they say he did:
in my life, that’s the way that it’s turned out;
I’ve had a lot to think about.
Give me an idea and in two minutes there’s a second
pushing out the first.

Can I help? I hope you know you can count on me
for whatever that’s worth! Let’s hope you’ll be able to
stay there for a while (at least until you find
a situation more in line with your needs).
Rest assured that all these problems weigh heavily
on my mind, concern me constantly, and encroach upon my
every moment! But we do have a “bivouac” and I
believe it is impregnable, so I have not given up,
not once (on either myself or in my worries about others!)
Dear friend, that makes all the difference.
From this “vantage point” I can see that the
“authorities” you mention have
always looked more like “ghosts.”

It is possible to see clear-cut continuities and discontinuities.
Where you see custard stains on my hair shirt I ask only
that you take account of your expenses,
render account of your conduct to yourselves,
but I don’t want to trust you with these secrets straight away

Of course, now, something quite simple and perhaps
obvious has emerged. But I must stop here!

Ben Affleck

 Ben Affleck

Ben Affleck

Ben Affleck’s dangerous knowledge of this guilty secret drew unwelcome attention.
Unaware of the breadth of this surveillance, Affleck nonetheless more
than once found himself brushed by a heavy hand.

During an evening walk he was suddenly surprised by an unusual
bright light that appeared to fall on him causing his whole body to tremble.
Assuming he was having a heart attack, he hurried home and lay down,
not knowing what to expect.

After a while, the light that filled his whole body went away,
and Ben Affleck felt himself moved, not by his own will
but by a different impulse from within himself.
He wondered what could be moving him so strongly, but
since he felt calm and conscious he just followed the motions
as they developed.

Poetry insists on this illusion,
(even the most sensitive apparatus always leaves something
to be desired) – forcing it, breaking it,
embodying it…
we shall see what strategies enjoyed literary
currency in this regard.

Silence surrounds the original book
like “sought to inhabit” inserted into
daily event and “be themselves”
into moments follow but soon
involved “free of the primary principle” to
separate instead of realigning.

Only by telephone disadvantage can
visual attempts imitate a live broadcast.
By “impress a seal on wax” I heard words
and filled the ideal of words with an ideal
-and murderous- talking machine.

Because the monster that stood at its center
is slave to what, beforehand, must have taken place,
“the red bottom of the yawning” corresponds
to what the user expects of it but also
provides her with an unexpected,
unspoken response of which it is itself the idea.

Of Course, There Were Notable Exceptions

Brute power unfolding there
the cement of mendacity holding white society
together swiftly disintegrates
as happens with so many aspects of our work.

This sounds exotic and poetic now, some
34 years after it was chosen,
it is already empty and hollow
because at home there is a Trojan Horse
that has become aware of itself
and is now struggling to get on its feet
but we cannot play our double game for long.

Subsequently produced on the stage as well.
Most of the audience was annoyed
as were some of the participants
none of whom were informed beforehand.

Root

By way of a little fun, we simply asked for
a precise bit of information.
Couldn’t we have done what others have done
and demanded a promotion, bought shares,
in fact made a success of something?

You’re no better than a lot of bandits
roaming around the country robbing houses;
you are no better than the exploiter, the
murderer, the sole cause of all their woe.

Poor human –
to scream like that, to make me remember

and your basic sunshine pouring through…
for a few days this new revelation absorbed us
completely. We kept these experiences to ourselves,
we guided our breath from place to place
within our bodies, we wondered why this air
made us so drowsy. But if we do not know
these things, there is a danger of perceiving no more
than the exotic value of certain aspects and
missing the essential entirely.

Buy difficulty, make delay, red, room, food,
understand oracles’ answers, laugh anything, tubs,
crack discipline, burst rifles began.

I Have Tremendous Nostalgia for the Future

I Have Tremendous Nostalgia for the Future

I Have Tremendous Nostalgia for the Future

The day my father was diagnosed with irreversible reterritorialization, I decided to go and find him a miracle. My family had already spent a good part of September pursuing medical options, and what we found out was not hopeful. Given the odds, a miracle cure was our best and most reasonable hope. We are a superstitious family, skeptical of medicine and believers in omens, potions, and the power of prayer.

A week or two earlier, while I lay in a birthing center having my daughter, Willa, I bore witness to 3 dreams that can only be read as portents. I dreamed of my maternal grandmother, Victoria Rose; I dreamed of my great-uncle, Brooks; I dreamed of my brother for the first time since he’d died in 2007. All of these ghosts had one thing in common – they were happy.

Miracles come in many forms, both physical and spiritual. If I had known the miracle I was to receive would be peace of mind, I would have been angry. It was God’s will.

Moreover, if we come with D summarize that D the law of D thermodynamic sound
melt second base of concept illusion, become have right like allow logically a D like the possibility of a D law,
in this case D theory of D reversibility of D universe almost become different physics take with him be clean
revenge, since a D commutable physically the law its D base that of a theory.

If the facts can in a case like
an illusion of concept,
why in another case,
one not does not explain
one observes?

Angry ghost inch
almost isn’t, now’s no time
for nervous dudes

Bell plays Zoroaster!
Bourbaki’s wall, exploded diagram
can wait, can’t it?
These and many more will be.

When, my people, will our
fruiting bodies ripen?

When it’s dry outside

When, my people?

Yeah, we all know parts of
something.

A Philosopher & an Elephant

A Philosopher and an Elephant

A Philosopher & an Elephant

Idea: cut rope in two give you half
soak 1/2 in oil make cheese
with the distance between us.
Idea: count how many things
I step on, grow progressively ugly,
write sestinas divulging.

Because I’d seen you not betray your lover
and because I’d never caught myself with answers
does it ever make you wonder?
The same tired shamelessnesses.

Postulate: we have arms for making circles
and wings for weaving blame,
and what is left over? It is 1/2 oil.

How many things can you count in 1 day?
Try to break your record tomorrow!
It makes sense to want to compare.

Idea: fold up ideas until they
cry out and tell secrets.

This fork is highest
not to be able to touch
and gently returns.
The chariot and the ram,
curses and chariotteers.

If it would please you
I could glider, I could snail;
combustion’s easy.
All the orange spiders say
their colors can be ripened.

Nine on a sliding scale of
what’s a syllogism for “cleave”
that starts with a wedding and ends in debt?

It’s not by chance that
my whiskers match the parking lot.
It’s worth its worth in gold.

Under 17 not to take them for
sheets fastened nautically
or for rides that one
is certain to regret.

Glimpses of significance,
the introduction of new evidence.
I give you strings.
Here are strings of words:
