    [places where being holds.]

    Suffering point,

    Persons profess their own actions,
    the crest of infinitesimal sadness,
    setting them inside formal bodies—
    within organs outside language,
    places where being holds.

  Abel Yard,

  You, contemptible

  A squalor, shack,

  You don’t have sensation? A public humiliation
  stood wanders, Abel.
  It would misbeshave

  pianissimo pain, systemic you. . .

  Under shelter, the chuckler’s chinked chin’s scabbed in woolen
  paisley scarf. Abel scat the fresco for mountain’s spare. Beyond
  the colors, the statue bolted the ink’s molecules:

  Stella Wheeze,

       Brother Pazzo Hodie, stentorian
                                                        imagination.
       today the one bubble sky domes
       hot and cold ribbons plummeting
       the way Canadian geese caulk starboard
       cracks—cleanest switches front unusual.
       Untouched is where the vocative imperatives
       deliberate optical conditions. Supra firmament
       never slope & slide this wicked impulse
       clogged as by wads of
       soap scummed fur—
       plucked from scalps
       inside method by televisioned
       Jainist monks.

       brother, you were my afghan rug
       as I left you holding booklets of scrap—
       the pieces organic & combustible, the
       fortune teller, roosting w/ comps full of
       flame, squawked, its rhythm’s nearer to
        jeopardy than double entendre.
       The final booklet satirized trunks.

       brother, you almost held the meaning but an
       ice storm hit with killing communications.
       Message should have been dankest fantasy.
       I held the thought in which the wheelchair
       boy races down the hill. When did you
       find out that flight is pass interference
       in weightlessness or that tamp could
       rhythm without supernova.

OMAR and CUPCAKES are doing exercises. EL RAHEEM

Satuday (10/18/03) was at a zebra striped bar on Bowery next to David Kirschenbaum. Talked about anonymity while he introduces me to Brenda Iijima and Bob Holman. Between Corina Copp's reading of "Sometimes Inspired by Marguerite" and Nick Piombino's reading of "Hegelian Honeymoon" I flipped happy hour's seal and read on the bathroom wall "Hegel + Lacan now" and something about Angela's musculature. Got to meet Nick as well.

I'm wasting words, poor soul, that profit nothing;
My lips even, as I speak, are drenched with spray.
The fearful gale, tossing my words, refuses
To let them reach the gods to whom I pray.
So those same winds, to do me double damage,
Sweep sails and prayers--I know not where--away.

    The inquiries are not fit for answers, for serious
                                        ones at least.
    It’s not that the propositions are weak, but that the
                        environment isn’t conducive.

    Words are no more prophetic than prophets;
                                        Besides,
    even if a farmer could provide solutions to
    every problem that will come about within
    a future society, those provisions would be
           another imposition, commandment,
                       probability. . .

    Like a religious fanatic inventing another
    universal code for future generations to ritualize.
    Come to think of it, possibility
    plays the fool well. Better for citizens to
    mock and riddle with impunity than to
                        improve or be imprisoned.

Awake! Come, a wake! Every old skin in the leather world, infect the whole stock company of the old house of the Leaking Barrel, was thomistically drunk, two by two, lairking o' tootlers with tombours a'beggars, the blog and turfs and the brandywine bankrompers, trou Normend fashion, I have been told, down to the bank lean clorks? Some nasty blunt clubs were being operated after the tradition of a wellesleyan bottle riot act and a few plates were being shied about and tumblers bearing traces of fresh porter rolling around, independent of that, for the ehren of Fyn's Insul, and then followed that wapping breakfast at the Heaven and Covenant, with Rodney O'echolowing how his breadcost on the voters would be a comeback for e'er a one, like the depredations of Scandalknivery, in and on usedtowobble sloops off cloasts, eh? Would that be a talltale too? This was the grandsire Orther. This was his innwhite horse. Sip?

      Untwine untried forms of human society
      since observers don’t want to dive into
                                                                  dark pools of water. Outline
      your way of running things.


      And that always brings on a tiresome list of questions,
      which are brilliant if the possibility desired imposition,
      but are absurd if prognostication isn’t foolproof.


      How will children be spun?
      What ideology appropriates resources?
      Population explosion?
      Are metropolises allowed? Or will cities be dismantled?
      What if all the citizens of Belize wanted to winter in Finland?
      Will diggers still dig?


      Ad nausea, dogging the point that every unknown
      is foolhardy, and that contention is worse than
      fabrication without question—for opprobrium is
      sanitized by confidentiality, so it seems.
      Or, even better, that possibility should prescribe
      fortuitously when children should color superstars
      and on what days a market should self-mutilate.

    all is uncertain inside its mind

    it has no sense of relaxation or mobility
