trees. limbs. books. looking through the shelves. looking. dropping glasses. on a map, a string. it is in my hand. you look at the map. i close the briefcase, you close the map. we are together. we go up through the timepiece. to whiteness, to pianos. smoking, touching your hair. cats, playing with them. laughter, yours, butterflies, paper ones. trees. traintracks. we launch down them. you carry the briefcase, i look through the binoculars. we go through a field of smallest light. together in the comparative vastness of the place. you sing and i strum. we are in the desert, my head blue. the seagulls briefly. i hear them. you save the world for waves. i see the nature in a horse. your dress. my limbs. the strums. the water, the streams, i wash my hands, i leave with you to strum. you touch your hair. i think of my timepiece, you have the key to the red door. but you gave it to me in books.

the wisp of your hair through your fingers. i see butterflies. and then the blur of the trees, walking down the train-tracks filled with stones. and then we sing in the desert, as i strum, and touch your ear.

we sing in the woods for the finding out of us there too. we find beauty, the beauty in the restless horse, the dignity of oneself, the happy dignity in the woods, given to traipse through and laugh. the stream we cross on over on the giant spindle of a felled tree. perhaps oak. you with your key, and your hair sways in holding the brass.

the violet of the sun goes with it to a place where the trees blur, the voice of books, the letter, wrapped in twine, the majestic sign, the feeling of you, the feeling of me knowing what and how to appreciate it, the love of the world, needing no reassurance, needing no saving, i know the dignity, know the timepiece in a crackle of notes, you pet the cat, black and white one, i hold it and smile through the brass, nearly fall off the train-tracks. we each with our briefcases, each with our golden eyes.

and the salt-hay there in the sun, running with a long sheet of music, the invisible sheet, careful sheet of a whiteness crackling out the time. love in the handing of the briefcase to you as we cross the log, you with flowers in your hair, all sorts of flowers. and the red door.

i wear a bow-tie so to feel it on my shirt.you, hold the white sheet, we get it pulled up out of the bag.we in our faint hearts beat for one and the same one. we skip stones, plant signsin the water. on the beach, the water sings us.down the road, one flash, one conundrum,one explicit entry of the sun

[like it is a cycle - - -but it’s a cycle that’s endlessly shifting to new axesentropy is key which has nothing to do with cycles it’s chaos but comprehending the chaos of the mind involves moving chaotically with those axes, alongside them, as the mind moves away from what it is processing of that - - -like for examplelets say i process, then seei look at a treeand form an impression of that tree similar to an idea but if i didn’t see the tree, how could I process it, unless the idea came first, and the tree was only a timely representation of the idea I would have had had I looked at a fucking tree or no - - -that’s chaos - - -that the mind goes where it willand what vision clarifies the eye of the mind suits itself to which is not to say that what words I see on a page I see as objects first, like a tree; in fact, I would think reading words on a page is the only instance where vision isn’t the primary stoker, hence, I process, then see the words and these two modes struggle to catch up to one another, always too far ahead, or lagging behind, hence the cycle - - -so really there’s like a holy trinity of philosophy something that is, something that isn’t, something that an absolute vision can see . and the question to me is not whether an absolute exists but whether it has to be unbiased, like, totally disaffected, regarding everything, in order to see everything, which in the mind of a man would be a most egregious mania or whether a creator or all knowing whatever, can also feel humanly, which I’m not sure of . i think whatever absolute has to be neutral, in order to really “see it all” our individual biases and perceptions color what we see, so that it becomes a process on the other hand, put a neutral mind together, and you’d have a completely blank human who might be godly, but it wouldn't be able to be communicated to anyone, since an unbiased perception has no understanding, merely, is a vat of info we process, so we can remember stuff about what we process, so that we can form an identity that is forced on us, as the burden of being an individual - - - but yeah just reminiscent of the quandary of prometheus left chained to fuckin a rock upon returning from the land of the titans in shelley’s prometheus unbound, that he has no way of explaining by the bounds of language what he saw, and thus fears whether the truth of what he saw not only would be thrown into question because of this by others but by himself. the bounds of language, earthly reality, don’t suit an absolute that is able to know and understand, but who am i to say, faith believes in that

DAWN,I held the image of her enormous body in the woodsIn hands disgustingly delicate, besides, burnt to ruin: but Disgustingly, too nakedly themselves To be anything to othersBut intrusive, like a smell from

Those pure-pink eyes: I hear them again in my solitude, wishThe best to that bride in the woods whom entangled inMy senses was all of them, dwelling there, sleeping in

Them: my hands were scored with marks, burns fromNasty cherubim: her breath made of flowers, the long shaftOf her there like an inculcated imago, telling me hers as

My portrayal of the cock is no less the sun’s bleedingHue, the moon’s angelic counselor to accrue a sheenOf whiteness both ways dulled back to moons, pink

Ones her eyes, blue-pink with--The moon's introduction and as wellAn introduced calamity, or possible calamity as might beSeen, at my betrayal in the woods: confessed to her thePoem: if she knew she were the rooster to Rimbaud,

She would not mind if I had said what I said: but then--Perhaps I should have listened, perhaps that's what She meant, but,

That’s all in the past now, and she has left all whiffs,Sounds, tastes, sights and touches a jumble, and

For my hands only to be burned by, in writing herThe poem, and the words, each one betrayal, eachOne what seems the over-longing mystic’s chance

To make jargon of the shades of the sun left for theMoon’s inculcated rise to sleep our heads to whiteSheen, on a round, cratered face, positioned midst

The mist large sages of the mind dwell in, asleep, orTired, going to a place of rest there sitting in the fogOF poems, confessions of no longer a cock to betray

Page 5: : hipster jesus

In shafts of sun on the place: the woods: the words:The story of the poem as it unfolds coronal for theLeast nasty solipsism to come down, creating angels

In the night, each fast as hues, and hues the facts,Merely hues, the fact of our senses: this is the trueConfession, and that I wish for her this poem to

Deliver me from place of shafts to haunted heavenIs a part of that revealing: weakness of me to sleep,Too, in mists of sense or literal ones, lighted by

The white moon’s blue-pink eye, the second moonSomewhere to make a pair of eyes, and to resume thisPoem to where before it started she had been, in

Me, kneading the wires of reality to suit a hue mostReassuringly defined before she left to snoozeWithin the chaos-guts of my poor head, my handsTo shore the brunt of pain for holding her and wantingTo, in woods, her memory now all that is enormously To hold, not out of love but so as to just beComfortable as well, though my hands,They burn: in bed with the netting, I should be, wiresSnapping: at least till what chalked the brio of my humanConfidence ensued a chase, and I too hungry notTo just let her go, brought with it me toA hellish place, and it, she, fine there. I know,Now, that you are fine

With the tangles, or you have none, but I think that’sOnly the case with pure-pink-eyed angels, whoKnow the hue-sense as concrete a sense as one

Only human would need, hungering, an ever-moreConcrete version of: the mechanism is not to disentangle,Though: that very need portends a desperate need

For order: angels of the hues of moonlight, tell meNothing, do not even soothe my inhuman chaos, inBrain, leave the ends to snap electric and light like

Fuse the rawest-bled synapse to life, briefly, thenDeader than before. I give you up, confusions ofThe sun and moon, might as well confuse the senses,

Page 6: : hipster jesus

Like angels, enormous ones, made of shafts thatGlisten in a whiteness either way, either way aBlankness blank as forgotten cherubim to pudge out

The moon a bit. Make more a human of me just toSee that woman in her way in the woods again, tellingAn iron coffin, herself no poem, the poem her rest

For me to tortured live within, banging mercies forThe everloving creator to see freedom in, thoughThis sensible death does not escape a morbidity,

Like a cat hung by a noose: there’s a matter ofSenselessness: defenselessness: I’ll use that concretion,Have martyred the blue-pink angel-girl, though she

Could have made me see the stars in moons, thoughShe could have made me use my tangles like feathersFor to poof the pillow: she could have been not so

Much an iron coffin as a clink of a poem crystallized,Could have fed the senses, instead of leaving me andThem winnowing like particles, as it had been when

This began. What choice is coffin. Let me sleep awaysFrom fearful mortality, and end her poor death here,And me as one step further out of life, one step

More to take towards accepting the tangle and quellingThe lascivious need for order, in shafts, and blatant,Comforting, through the bent vermiculation

OF trees fluorescent-lit, in bloom of synthesis, andParticles mere flowers, flowers, eyes of her, to Remember that: in her death, she grewLess vicious. My hands lay charred, a steaming hunk,And for a moment what I forgot—remained—and took all withIt as she left, left my name for only bands of light to order,To wager real, with hands as dumbly intimate as odor.

A ROMANTIC MAN NEVER ACTUALLY KNOWS HOW TO PLAY PIANO,I think about banging on a piano--For her. I think about telling my hand to shut upWith his fears: he goes shotgunning the first subtle twitch, for support, To the handle of his maw of dirty coffee, as if all that aProclamation, enough a mite for those to see and be like,Wow, I bet you feel really potent things: but of course, it’s too Microscopic, and the anguish, anxiety, too smallFor barren lord-words: and he putting out his cigarette,Dwelling in silence on the keys he is To play, he walks to a piano. Somewhere,Anywhere, perhaps on a mountain somewhere, he’d haveTo walk myself there like a dog, the way she Did for him, the voyage unending Seemingly, pricked with anxiety each foot as it pads and leavesThe ground and pads, the chest heavy, the, my, feet stumbling theirDrama over her rocky land, though the hands lax and deft; whimsyReadying for the grand sonata. I don’t know how to play piano,But if I did, I’d draw resources from the pain, make that aLuxurious drumming over the keys into musical stuff for her,Denying not the wrong note at present but making it presentlyThe right one, for her, with time and patience, not ever, of course,Thinking about one’s porcelain handle, that cigarette far away--I left smoking in the tray in my room, it only lessened the morbid. Anyway. Nothing can take it away, and especially the drugOf regret once sniped from my grips doesn’t: and I grip the tusk of keys,Black and white, and play a dripping straight into this hurting noonWhile the birds fly: and I imagine a whole flock of damned birds, He does: he, I imagine[s] another life thatWouldn’t have existed anyway, the hurt,Another poor travesty, another micturating the pants, embarrassment,Another learning to shit in a bowl. All this possibility maims itself.It goes like a bad dervish all over my life, hocking paintedRealms of content perforce to show a life of riddles, in reality Mere condensation on the window. Out of the window,I see barely music on the mountains, see the mountains, see a largePiano, it’s there somewhere, waiting for my hands to quit their place over My face. I want the weeping to die down into gentle notes

Page 8: : hipster jesus

Remitting to that potent quietus of a shotgunning hand:Over the old keys. I want to make a smashing displayOf consciousness and derelict. I want some flaws, I want Something to grip them though and then make themBeautiful later on, perhaps with some riddles remaining steadfast--On what’s large enough to bring down the sky, a thing or masterOf delusion, over delusion, over grace, and the shadowA tiger curving her paws at the volume: presenting itself like aCrucible, a style of judgment. A style of control, and longingFor something beyond control, and which makes it wild,So that it may judge the wild, judge the tiger, judge the faceAnd leave my hands no body; and by the time they haveFallen off, I will have dragged my sonata out fromThe shotgunning regrets, will have funneled it into banging Smallness on the keys on a piano, in the alps, whileThe overwhelming sky’s anxious, long stretch is broughtDown like folds of sheet. Like hands,Twitching at my tiger-feet. She is the rocky plain.This faint milk your braingoes through, gets you banking at the curb left into regarding life, and in the waves goesyour way through infallible to earth.And your brain then is you, slowly, with a dulcet,lung-open purity, and you are nearly madedeaf and dumb, hanker for more of these truthsfrom wherever place: mere primers to ease the humors, yours, their reasoningout of your paracosm, with music, to land you forcefullyin brute logic’s realm, and then things seem a parade ofmarching hands off and into the tides of space.it is yours, space is, in yours a brain whose thoughtsare bodies that mar the shore, hands that take their sojourn in phalanx-position, acrosswheeling plains, ever the soil for sad souls’ requiemto pump a shook vibration into rattling the pebbles of;hands whose milk is blood you, in writing, wadethrough. Sequence your gait, for once,your phalanx-steps to heaven, or rather swim to therefrom your inborn sea, to past your rotting brothers yards upon the shore, to find a placewhere the idea is, that from whence to hereyou started. You gave a rope to that missive, waited for its gnawed handsto grab it, bring their muddy selves up from squalor,reveal a dollar to earn for being pent, even

YOU TURN YOUR HEAD,"You turn your head---new love! You turn your head again---new love!"

- - - RIMBAUD

Caught in the lure, the heard head policingSensations, the neck somewhat at clickingPaces of glassy warmth, this literal arching

Of the spine spins, grips: a loose refractingIn the space, that is, between a final roofOut: the closeness between one movement

And the next, a passive sway's long, tiredMarionette, strings all a-swerve to bleatA finnikin way towards: towards what: this:

How can the sadness' outrage suit this: suitWhat: what roofs: can what fails to be, be notPlus what is---that happens: awash with

A lease upon what poles go spinning too:Urgent, this remedy is, it gleams: it is aWay to crawl upon the line, this is, it is a

Drawn plank across space: something here,Something that makes me turn my headThis way, something that makes me little

Again, in the waves of spine, in the waysOf stars across my spine, it lords thus:Discard the lords?: drain a melancholy at

A loss for the worst, the militant, the riledPerfunctoriness of spaces between turningAnd sensation: all's a swerve, a bending

Of atoms, not inventive: but, a shaking head'sWorth’s not what lives thus in thought: I've foundMyself: lost myself: I've lost what I've found

And thought lost, when I had it: but it wasThere, differently now, it is different now,A level of must go on, that wasn't there, is:

Page 10: : hipster jesus

But where to go: elevate the predicamentTo another flyer in the night: a bat, perhaps;A bird perhaps, an absurd bird, a spiel in

The special, stretching the column to haveThe head spin rhythmic on the line: this isJust feeling, feeling right, sort of, trying for

The absent denial, trying to trust myself soThat more untruths present themselves inThrobs in my gut: shut-ins, louses, mitigating

Creatures, perhaps, to prove how bashfulGOD must be with our boasting: but theWeakest link argument doesn't fly like bats

Or---birds. It dresses up itself in the matterOf the fact that illusions exist: well of course:Tell me something new, it's about the same

As saying, much beneath the surface, so--Why try: well, here's why: factors gain, doorsClose to open flooding light from windows

Turned on like a switch. As others, clench

The boom enough a sonic one to get soundAll blessed in parameters of wordages andSpace: that's what gets the spine ticking on

The line, that's what gets the spiel bent and,Possibly, atoms too: the swerve is in each band,In each turn of the head to a place you wish policing

It hadn't: but this is somewhat like blessing whatCould have been; if it didn't happen, and it wasA sensation, then most likely it was too weak

A link: but then, do I contradict myself here:Well, personality-wise, weakest link, lost goingsDiffer from what's a personality: if sensational,

Then the mooring might swerve still into someMore delectable counterpart that needed passingThrough the want of a lesser point to be made:

Page 11: : hipster jesus

The trouble lies in devotion to the point, whichIs an aspect of intelligence: one pursues the bands,Rungs, rings, for fun: but then, finds the sadness

And listless wondering to wander into fewerSensory-motifs, points, spinal crannies thatMaybe are really small tumors grown out of-

-A broken back, upon the stepping-on of one'sChild too many cracks in sidewalk: whatnot:See, I haven't lost the devotion, just the silver

Lining, a falsity: a renegade I am: a silver liningI am myself: so with that there is enough inThe personality to drop a rhythm or two, too,

Without succumbing to whatever weaknessI might have perused, pursued, in turning myHead back to where I thought it was my head

Wanted to turn: but I am my head: and my--Hands: and I am the warmth, I beg it, I begIt forth: lords ain't nuthin: the GOD in me is,

It rumbles with a fuming for lost stuff, whenLess headspace's needed for that: that'sCalled dwelling, dude: and no more could I

Fumigate my meanings, when the sicknessWas never there, the cockroaches weren't,Nor were the tumors: weakest thing is to

Stay docile, never tremor enough in doingSomething wrong, always line up lines inA way happiness follows forth from: that's

No life to live: if it were, people would beIngratiatingly gratified with the smallestDevotion to a smallest conundrum: but no:

No smashing of icons here, none but in the comingTogether of brief, wanton breaks of wandering,Fuming enough, rhythm enough: looking over

It to find what had been while your head was

Page 12: : hipster jesus

Turned: lift it up: write till your hands ache,Even, perhaps, carpel-tunnel syndrome,

That might happen: but it's O.K.: messesClench the wrist as much, leave the brainMushy with worrying too much over brainless

Lament: so beg this: leave it stern in the truthOf all my untruths yet to be discovered: makeSensational wandering a wonderful sensation:

Lure it forth from . . . what: a prattle, yes,Not breaking, but a pill for the heart to sootheAnd make not so bitter: brittle, my spine is that,

With turnings of the head: no matter what,There'll be something that I didn't devote to,Something in this smarmy reason that opens

Shining doors to lechers: pursue that: makePersonalities of words: all good: all GOD: GOD inExistence personifies the weakest link argument

And gives it validity: but then, with that point,I might just turn and break my back, again,Hearing all the while of Stevens-GOD as his

Helmet-headed soldiers head themselves to aDefeat, lamenting stupidly, gone in the grace:And less, till lost and treasured, is all: ourAdequacy won't

Be in question: everyone's beautiful but weShould wear helmets as his soldiers do, notSombreros, unless you wanta be funny: we

Should leave it at that, weep at that, for the--Point's gone, that should have had me written,Written, in the most of my desires, and tarnished,

Once I see no longer what I once did have,When merely, no weakness, merely change,Merely, merely one of his declaims wroughtRoofs, to break---as if to begin---

To life again, a part of one, and his own to wrestle.

KAFKA'S GATE,man is before a curtain & unable to drawit open upon what blinks at him twice for

‘no’ as to emphasize choice in the plainway a simple refusal to go deeper than &

‘no’ a way to traumatize man out of wantinganything else ever again anymore etc.

far into the room that is a lounge made ofred leather notions the size of big words

that crept up & became the telling between himand the other whom is convinced by him a medicine

but really if that only for the fool’s amigoto drink up down to the dregs all the while

considered some urine sample or somethingoffensive like that which in the same way

makes dying a habit but yet all have foundthis joke of mortality convincing enough to

once before Kafka’s gate not do a damn thingbc no longer time to & all this as much as

man could not make sense of curtains in a poemcould he tell why the other-eyes be in cahoots with

a pair of eyes in a redder corner nearly scarletcompared to consciousness he has of where

he is & laws at all in this case a big vacancyor whole or an insisting to embark for miles

& miles to the cream of the lounge’scontented slew of fake context after all

a mere apoplexy in the face of power or evenor giant wardrobes of space an acquisition

with the willed palace to the scummy kid

Page 14: : hipster jesus

just another room for pot and some tshirts he

whom finally in an act of unbelievable defiancedecides he decided to forget everything in

favor of losing a sense of perfidy regarding whomwill always be watching anyway & playfully &

serious as hell man grips the tasseled rope ofa golden thread & looks at his shame as slowness

in not doing this for forever as himself but asjust perceiving himself & well isn’t there a whole

world besides in looking for crags in a roomthat lead to lobbed metaphysical throwballs

man would whiff away all day at & finally infreedom to be happy about redundant existence

forgets about it to view the ranging landscapebusting out or seeming to before him like

something going begone from a bad spot maybeto go along with the mechanistic vagary here

something made of itself for the first time likeobligations of mirrors describing introductions

or gates w guards of someone else’s purgatorygive lease to embody everything in mirrors

like a scream the shit of the man brings to lifein out of sorts not taking anything anymore &

made up on the idea of youthful resistance reallya cold superfluity that mocks its owner’s individual

abiding sphere by being exactly what that is for heat the butt of jokes of other-eyes now making sense

of the world and so perhaps the mechanistic vagaryat present necessary enough to bleat randomness

hilarious reality & with one restive tug finding raggytree branch and basically winter deployed in curious

strokes of leaves like bombs kind of representing a wavering that always was in those eyes that

made him o so aware of a mirror to life ofman simple man whom only wants to bother

for once for the sake of some elderly femalevoice as disembodied as the glaring eyefuls

long enough to get the gate open and flyout of the lounge of death made out of blood

made out of that which fills an entire housew/o room even for a fetal position no no spread

for the cad nor symbol to abide with him backto less excoriating realities though all of that

choice amid uselessness & traumatizing controllersthat is perceivers of themselves & him perceiving

likewise & thus he chooses chaos and to becomehis mother since after all it is choice that is

while in a delicate daze all delicate mothersdisappear & ambiguous her looking out

from a regular standpoint of standoffishnessat a son making friends with Kafka’s mirror

SEDIMENT,I have not yet translatedThe language of the apocalypse for to save us, nor Spoken the glyphs of yet-heard memory that

No butcher-sage couldn’t squirm a knife with into letters, Easy enough, all of the story teeming-

-Blood anyway, what’s more mess?: without slicing into The meat of brains themselves?, that’s a feat:

To deny the memory that brought you

To the realization, you portend and portend, with Knowledge of what rapture to come-

-Yet not acknowledging .

I look around me, is this humility?,

Page 17: : hipster jesus

And find everything I need within

The reach of my hand . but it is absence-

-That truly numbs the imagination into improvising

Its own makeshift GOD; when we suddenly Know, we suddenly understand, there

Was nothing makeshift about it . it’s the same

Sort of thing as saying that unwritten lines of thoughts

Are the most important, because They choir out of nothing what is possible, what

Is to come, without seeing the nothing—experience it in The choiring and don’t acknowledge it . butcher-sage’s

A real cut-up, though; is thought; desires others’ Laughter at his slabs, knowing nothing, the meat of it a mystery

Like as GOD, and like as nothing ever,

Bullshit in the meat, meaning in the tides of experience, Ignorance of the tides as tidings, merely seeing liftings, Momentarily, only seeing, hearing breaths in, in .

HANDBAG WITH AQUARIUM,Mixtures drag. I’ve only got onepaper napkin in my pocket: nestling a hock,somewhere folded in there.

I am not with a thing anymore but thatcouldn’t beat a schism into dismalness enoughto call this whole damned shebang dismal,fraught, too loquacious, like a shattering ofteeth at the outset of drug-pangs: the water,turned us all into addicts: there’s fish in me flask,I look on, say, my face attenuated and dankwith only the most durable thoughts, now, thefrail, beautiful ones having been crushed underthe weight of my palm, my palm an island,

It’s on them to maculate myself, tie me down, like a large manTied down with saranwrap by little folks, dirty clothes on him too

The pants too dirty.

Ah, doubt. But still the cognizanceLamed, bothered, tearfully responsive, and yet my eyes are dry.

THE SUN HAS A LOT OF STUFF GROWING ON IT,Famous in the mind, this misery. PermanentToo. For not once could alter it: this barnacleOnly leads to fracturing this broken mind further,

This mind a vessel itself. That unreal kind ofOne. And I have attempted my wish of it, thatAll this contrariwise, humping onto shore

Like a mollusk, might beat down, battenDown the logical debris and prove me wrongAs it sets sail: to murthers on the sea: the

Sea of outrageous stars and like a countenanceFacing the World, with downturned challengingEyes: looking as if we all were at the eves of our

Destruction, constantly at ends with ourselves.All the divorce of microbe, synapse, bulb, demise,Make tenfold misery, misery the overlapped

To each resistant particle, I picture blamesFor what’s in the shock, the blame in this

Damnable shock that comes from splitsInto that seeming durable void, making thingsThere, taking them out of fancy, and dismissing

A lot of the mania, for the sake at leastThe misery is whole. I blame the maniaOf days, nights spent unreasonable and

Reviling the tips of stars, that so much isDismissed far-off in the welkin: deep stellarAnd portentous howls: miracles of pressure,

And all the things I have tried to pieceTogether, are so much nothing to unguentOf what’s simply sadness overlapping

Sadness, a coil of misery in cloud and dustAnd breakers of stars on the hull of thisOutcast ship, looking at myself far off, on shore,

From what I thought a respite, of a seaOf a million nautical suns.

AND YET A FALLEN WORLD,It’s just an echo. Your mind repeats it because and hereThe fidgety dialectic jumps to life: because, it isApparently motivated by soft grips of

The knee to embarrass her with something completely out of line.Of unreal forestry where all is unreal, the memory sits

In abstruse dimnessLike a duty to see before you—really—in a way wherein the body feels

The familiar place and time to life again. And dashing entwined, knitted in it, blokes in him for peace: or: clowns aspirating seltzer out of pressured bottles clearly,

If somewhat priggish, like a good word in a dress made a mess of, and I in a habit like smoking: the blades I

Mocked (mocked!) as they tore into my throat. And fettered lightly to the bridge, the boat sits For us to steal. And I remember her in it, I bellying the water with paddle. She cried

Into straightBlack hair. Marrows, each follicle shiningDeepest in the moon’s gape, and then light

Tones as the barracks of memory sloshed: and like two disparateFrames a new memory shifted into the old one, and it was like the timeBetween had not have passed but melded either into one reality:

And I see myself:With fellows fording mattresses up against the door to keepThe smoke out, further in, an inanimate clock, a real oneIn this some fortress, blessings of the baby speaking gibberish

In the floor below: that’s the now: but remember the clock, it proves existence

Of an other: that’s something I can’t hear you say, I either hearLauds or dismissive placations or even hatreds, but neverAdvice: just like someone you know, you say. I should haveJust called you you, I say, and my shoulders clench again:And fatalistic creeds, at first fatalistic,

Dismiss some blatant other in the birth of that idea,To have it be of frames, that is, that spangled

Minds beneath an unreal empire of branches into mind,Shone imagination’s very maw: you saw it you did, foreverYou will miss what you could never treasure: woven sticksTo suit a thorny head.

Fall’s here, and gorgeous windsSlant the sky’s muddied light, mostly light orangeHues: murders of crows aren’t yet on sight yet, must

Be a little before they do: the baby goes on makin fuckinBaby noises: crazy shit, till a crux in my heart goes blackAnd exhaust makes all that metal bleed to sing and forgive

Page 35: : hipster jesus

Fate again, though I’m guessing I will my whole life: uhp,My foot’s asleep: the baby’s coughing in the apartmentBelow: I wonder if the baby is only there for intermittent

Periods because I don’t hear this baby all that often:Did his parents divorce?: Or are they still to be married?:I gotcha a give in the head, I hope ya see now, that

Origin. In other words, therein is the true entrance

Of an other,—a psyche’s outsider—or delusion—or maybeEven just a call. Like yo, hah—Christ,

When will he learn that. What I do know

However is that there is indeed muchLost in translation here. What you think I think isEarth-shaking I might find, along with you, banal, tedious. Reconnoiters,

It’s a constant strange back and forth. But moreDifficult; you are well aware I can surprise,

Can dully smother most thoughts before a few mangled ones manage to come out. I was administered something, I say.

Na. Why wouldYou ever want to do that. That’s not what it is. GOD broke.

. . .. . .. .. . . . .. . .With eyes, considerate eyesI slow myself, allow myselfTo see less in the closing shut of doors outside this room, My bathroom, as if it were only someone there outside to chide me,Tell me sometime, that I should leave myself I guess

To be gutted to be made bare, no I shall not make this anxiousI shall stay here on my tile floor reading grumpily to myselfWhile the daily headache introduces itself

Once again there in headThe little sphere caught pullulated like a village fool,Temple to temple as I write, it sets in to its vigorAnd ballistic ballads of these closed doorsExplode nastily against each other too:

Page 36: : hipster jesus

Like missiles of contempt that pierce arrowlike burst from quiverTo stall the unctuous heart to stall it in the brain, yet-

-No, no one is there it is some trivial argumentIn the next apartment: I have found my headache there:Safely distanced while I stare the midst of the white bland tiles

While the WORLD outside is guttedBy some chiding thing slamming doors outside

And still yet am I left the more laborious man for my anxietiesAnd still yet the wiser man, for shutting my own bathroom doorSoftly, to keep the missiles in the dock-

-From freefalling into the rage of a last raw point Moved into the hearts of others’ minds, like some chiding hurtfulness

Like something striking something, like as beats against skin,It is of a cycle of the stoppages of space chained to the skinsAnd let me still yet be the auger for an ultimate aloneness:

And let this potency not dissolve says he, this wonder,As I waive the negatives with what limited movement I canBound my dear sphere is to these unbreakable templechains

Here me now brother for I speak to you only in the headTell me what to do as the daily headache, set in its cycle

Sets in in a torpor, egregious torpor, and modulates the glandTo leave me no longer drafty in the pubisBut rather I enter into new potency, tell me I do not sink-

-But into the arms of my lover to together feel aloneAnd well then my brother says: blank out the tiles fill the roomFill it with the guts of power

A loamy gash on the brain-

-Is not so hurtful in the heat of new sexOr the plaintive rallying of new words round their amber vigilLike some golden thing at bay From missile turned to missive that turned from the callous negativesTo flap in the breeze like free nuts on a naked drafty soul

Yet drafty not, not drafty for the breeze is light and is no poverty

Page 37: : hipster jesus

Yet drafty not, not drafty this time for I speak no callousness-

-Of cold wind, to ameliorate the frost on panes:It is like melted glass slowly for my considerate eyes to relishAnd the arrow drawn to hit me in a daily headache roundabout:

If I am to detail a potency I must make approbationFor the sake of a breezy life not sullenNot wrecked nor incurious, innocuous norDreaded to be lived

Nor floundering in death’s companyBut rather I look at that missile straightly fall through the windWith my hands of mind tied to their burrs like daisychainsLooking on to view this, helplessly looking on

To view this:

I am that. I am The incorruptible, incorrigible name, you tell,You speak these names to make it right, as if for youth in womenWere you shining, carefully. Droll the rolling laughter at a joke,A bird swinging in the sky. Droll, droll. An empty plate,And all the things a minister can speakAs minister, as arbiter, as chance made for to leave out The megrims of a personal conquest of absurdist doorsJust to shuck the husks from life as bodkins. Depreciation, chaos,Wonder; I am these things. You say. And I amNo thing a minister can speak to say, I think,No harping for what is on the line back there,No chance to take in praying or not praying a thing left outFor what truncated GOD in minds that are asleepTo bless like dirty sneezes:

Page 38: : hipster jesus

And for the tempered chaos deeply deepIt goes, it goes in sayings on the wire; the line,It forgets me not. A bird swinging,Laughter at an empty plate, merely there, remarks,These are remarks, marginalia for the void, I say, I say.

Blacken days nimble hours soft, sketched limbs off the velvet of the skyAnd the witch in her shame finds no ghost no flapping remonstrance no,No body black with time, with she-felons . . each inching sickle remits to

Them . give naught to naught blow the whistle on the drafty keysGive the license to tarry itself suitable . breathed weeping in solitude fineOurselves the gauge . practices coin themselves, leave brick in place

Of pendentive, leave webbing for trombones and measures of blast,Music, tremors, but not cave for the caesura no brittleness of spaceNo culprit in this minor of the dusk and for the dusk to chase in leagues

Emblem of the womb the sprig and vegetal conundrum to the zygoteMartyr oneself his healing and make the power out of the refined exitInto a time of space so very timeless as despotism over the regard

As a sphere of spheres beyond the moon left in the wake of the moonA matrix network or plasm-direct of greetings and beckonings and frontingAnd rimmed nonetheless in illumined smoke the smoke of ages hence

From there to the fine print and then a calligraphy unknown beyondShe-felons beyond lyric-daintys force with force along the faultMine her sympathies, jostle the strangeness forth in the witch of tidesBoon for the hour to grope and displeased ignite make smoke

Benign careless realism in the missive sense that is a signaled hootLaid flat in pains of matrices, untangled fledge-illegible,s naughtyDemons created likewise beyond a smallest iota before in the game

When wanderers made attraction their job the EARTH a walk downThe linens perceived the witch-posts the blood from them givenAnd the sinister dread nay dratfully there the lorn ghost pivoting

Furious dignity the weight in hands,The consequences’ drought but to the throat,Brings life to your state: tell the frequents bands,And swish the broom, to clog a vibeless floatOf breath: to settle one their shapely grim:Barley to the bar, back with you; no; yes,No more drinks. And dust lifts to seraphim.Again the rhetoric long in drunks do blessWhere round equators of their sleepy span,With what’s forseeable in longing—messOf beauty, dignity the severed plan.For what’s rushed up your spine does not give less,

That furious, old GOD, and listless takes,In blessed intervals the body makes .

I apologize. Ornaments grow like darlings here at home,Some of them, exploding whitely in yellow braids, forms. A slowerNothing greater, even, than most. and yet most of it is allThe color of tricky lightbulbs taken to the glandular braid, goddamnWhite questions of thickening speed,Here and cold at home,

Cold as damned PLUTO,This home in head that seems about whateverPomp of the—soul’s slowness. Whom knacks for minutesFor example, a chancy attitude of purity too swiftWith composedly fast whiteness, for apprehension

But try to fit this garment to the mind, to flesh.My art is smallest precedence, by virtue of instead a smallest, kindling artOf fetching for the smallest soul, concludes a germ, yeah, of something

Of deity to rate so here’s to much the bending of the bordersA germ of—GOD—maintains a worser poison—for the mighty nervesTo puppet—and devours—what it dole—for the better soul, a done-out odor

At the pulpit—however delinquent these words fucking are—To see as smallest beauty—to remain and soon devour the germ,While the worst perceive it—more than all as

Rudimentary—as—any GOD is—schoolhouse disseminations fuckingAre not what you make a thought of for that element not fathomed,

But to what your wishes for two planted feet transmute

White you say has you tossing you out of senses as if pitchblende in the gutA nerve had saturated you in some done-out odor, left it . and turning to peopleWhom live mussed in sicknesses their own: so:

I want you to mess up their brainsWith pretty questions,

Philology the people in your head who want themselves the germAs you to be held and nonplussed as once again silence holds in themTo that bafflement. They hold hands in your mind, tell you that,

Makes it old in its continuum of greeting and shuns:Blossom a few things first: a few roots orange with health in the deep ground.

And I see health, and see you with the health and so then lead I youTo be with you and GOD or whatever to scramble to sensibly apologize,For this ingratiation—wild your spirit gets in losing out

And it by time closest to all of time goes allDrawn and tired for your worthTo keep the calyx withering to droopAnd I have kept his wrath, to hear concessions on the cold wind.

And which dead left a corner or two in the drear of spontaneousWaiting and receiving and denying . I was working when

The fomenting of some unbelievable chord in my mind

Made dismissal unanimously Of that curse and stateAnd drew a picture of the sun on it sprung from breathing And made for myself a needless needle-gathererFor to breach the attitude of these unwilling walls And still I know not, shame, shame, shame,Whether that great brink was fallen over into blanknessOr whether the blankness always there will rid me Of needles, much as the haunches of my desk,And I to forever unknowingly gather that good cancer

RENDITION OF THE STONE / WITHIN THE ELEMENT AND VEIL,I wish me liquid by the season’s grasp, To fell reminders of my solid state. There is, in the state- -Between, when I, still yet Not liquid, still yet not solid and, there is In this a sense a sense A sense of lovers on the wire, wavering withProlix, and asserting more than could for the deepest light- -I provide a pithy epithalamion. That both exist, in balance on the seasons on The wire. I deny the balance. I am,I am become a name for lakes and creatures, And name, as all the words a name can give: And if I live at least once To resuscitate this balance of the tidesOf cold and dark and Summer bright, As if the lungs, my lungs perpetual Had stopped a time, well then I bow My tinted head by sovereign, Sullen distances Too much the color felt As if by the gaunt breath Of liquid solids: Perhaps, the pretense of This common love for nature as it feedsThe finding wire: ambagious as the telos of the seedTo plant a new breath, floor the marred flagellum To take a wakefulness the colors give it, beforeResisting temperatures, passions, conceits Enough to melt the mind--Resuming catastrophe, tell the seers blind,And yet presume no liars and but the faltered breath Only innocence regardedIncorrectly, an impish scratch to dour the friend In heart, remove a soul from solidness, And find the nature of a blessed between. To build a pyre for seasons in my lungs,

Reconstitute resolve Before dissolving from the words; solve a melted mind As only fog upon the lake would beA blessing of the fire upon me. To see blindly As being-delicate myself, to seeAn unrelenting friend, to bringMy commonness to death, and leave the best A thing to resonate Like operas, would be enough to bloom A flower out the throat, this time, if breaths Forgive the tenuousness Of mottled natures balanced on a wire, A telos of the tides my unction kept From weeping onto shore; nor lake Alone to stagnate, filled with algae, couldRemove the feeling I am high above, a special Case, to soothe what’s and might be prodigal,Or never return perhaps. This, no test, Derives the solid, liquid from the eyes, As weeping delves the plash upon the sand,As algae makes a nature from the stagnant, asConcrete a thing as falls to the floor, an open door

Swung by wind to clap as if a cackling somewheresIn the night’s brew makes me itch me scalp,Concerned. Meanly I resist again. The love with it and the kiss of colors--Of fire from the prattle-pyre: for my seasons to display,On the wire, a tenuous line high up, initiating thoughtsOf the fall from there to places where I cannot hold my truth, too-heavy truth.Just I am though to hold my faith in enough A reason: to make blissWith words for once: an element there isUnstraight, a guilelessness to doctor--Ingenuous, coyly innocent, an impossibility of elements That shift as Spring goes far behind ahead,That shift as mind melts solid rage of conceptTo less a pitch, a watery, dissoluteThing, still within the element and veil as--An sorta unrequited lake with surface-green, The witless veil of algae over rottenLakes.

About a party I had on a bus: itWas a great occassion, butI woke up feeling the apocalypse

Again: this tinged the reality ofThe dream, that is, that that wasMy first reaction: death: vacancy:

Spite: we have immediate opinionsAbout our dreams to spite them,Keep them too close to the realityOF waking thought, so as to loosen the bounds thereof.Moreover we seem to do this, betweenStates:

What of dreams extended?: how canOne take his dream by the nosehairs,And call it a whole bluff,

A reprimand, for sure, of what is meantTo be for there, that place of this:This place: this obscene,

This command toBe obscene, to waive the frailty, as ifThat were a huckster: nonsense:

But, then, these lackluster opinionsOf dreams just follow the dram:The naught, naught:

Pool in together this,This speciousness, don’t ratifyBy the dozen what is meant,

Immediately: like dreams: letNo opinion settle in the minutesAfter one has woken up to us:

For we, reality: we all are: objects,Images, people: metaphor stripsThe reality of what to me is a

Stuff, to make it so, later. We attuned,Rough selves of thoughts, connected,No, not connected, not grasped,

At least, immediately: yetIf I forget dreams, no big deal,No sensible place for sleep

Is the analytic: Namelessness,Better namelessness, derivesThis and that from what

Motion, what generality, what spaceOF conurbation and waves, leavesSinister proctorship for philosophers,

Leaves one weeping and wakingFor realities, poetic ones, left and rightIn the REM: connect thought

One back, simple formalities,Really I could go on to mask the cherishing,Brutalize it and laugh, as always,

As always we, I have done:But what of that, and whatLoose form could be an entity

At all besides if read in sleep?

EPILOGUE :[And the epic I dozes casually slumped over a big brown horn

with XXX scrawled cheapon the sides. And this is frightening. That originsof solutions may equally abound or not abound is

the fault of philosophy, that there is no longer surety, and thatwhich would have lived if unaware of, chipped offas scum under the deck, rendered valueless slowly

by a question at all, which forgets a few, naturally: a quitemany few (I speak of common man) who’d never know yet

That gives them something of belonging somewhere.Even if it is fabricated. Even if the common man andmind is surrounded by a crew of maligners, demonson her legs, her arms, she will retain her own and haveit be that while eaten alive. What the philosopher hopesis exactly not what it fears is: the disturbing puzzle agraft of patient loitering thoughts around the ones buzzedoff into oblivion. The mistake is in caring at all if it isfabricated. This for the philosopher is a grand discomfort,the existence of illusions. Wanting to get to the bottomof anything is, indeed, what this is, after all.

But the common man is a gift, enjoys a harem anddispleases whores; marks ruddy gifts amazing, livesand dies a disaster,

a lonely master of her world, her contra nothing,seizing nothing but of breath. A scenic feud breaksout in the soul, and I drop my watchin the snow. I felt

like a man felled and regained again,no sourish plant in guts, no busted nerves,I felt like he was dreaming. And so he did.]
