The present that was yet to come

The virtual reality sinecure assembles

of lost ants. In the family of genius the specie
represents the fist. Its polarity quickens the intense

moment of the crossing integer of fixed polarities


mixed with the dangers of polenta rising
against the nick of cadenzas deadly in their baggaged flight
dissembled in the porter s mist. No twist of fakery here,
leering ampules of Golgotha amid the syringes
of dentured servants smiling their servile bloodlines

Their roots thread the equations of tropical rigor
of the grove pressing the Atlantic,

a topic of vigor among the monthly

in the corridors of multifarious
ardor. The enemy, nefarious,

parked its car at the grate


of cheese whose door darkened
spearmint luminaries

in dissenting cages, raging their


maledictions through transparent
doors, intent, apparently

on waging salaries
at the source of their afflictions
for the snake of dis-

parity, serpentine with eagle mist.


Enclosures of the corresponding odor
clenches the weathered intent

of customs morbid at the statuary

A sense of the whiff s


natal utterance naturally

As noir s diffident fury strikes


urban alleys with Punic rage the arborian
stentor whispers shatter-glass vibrations against
the shakers of candlelight

& gold streaks flush the nuisance of its licentious bid

of city s wake, a death prima churned

bidden by sacred boundaries to the id

of Pythian silence pertaining to science
of lost prophecy: the gold forever gone,
no blind voice to sight its hidden ware
against challenges staring leaden-eyed
dissent in the back walls of dark alleys

As the sonic booms its arborian cement


the prophetic scent lingers, its singeing
intent bathetic as the score turns the com-
poser s page, dotting its foppish delights
dappling the gray facades & drawing rooms
with tossed drinks & trinkets & cast-asides
of thousands, a spectacle of sight, of smell,
of Sensurround jotting down the triplicates

of lions furring the reptiles

of lumbered jackets shredding the umbral fist

At night s end the messengers bringing


gratuities of purposive acts explosive in their distraction

entreaties proliferate as the retrograde nears

The fine-tuning began for the phosphorous,


but for us it was just another Proserpine moment
assaulting pillars as they looked back in columnar dread.

53
Instead of pursuit salt chose the greater opticon
burning its insensate visions of the redefined
as blind as previously sighted opposite

the op cit whose literature never was,


nor toned bodies of tooth decay ramping
access routes to the rural pathways

tramped as steamers boot across oceans


holding patterns maintained as souls in the holds
crossing the tide of bleary-eyed modulations

suiting the globe in its arboreal treasury.


See your suckers brachiate the forests of need,
of cats treed in fugues of doggerel ambush.

Dished of its own, a chord

structures its pithy hell, met with grave

strictures inflicting consonants implicit in discordant

tone. There the plate of attitude feeds the umbral hunger

seeds of aleatoric rhetoric ensconced


in fruits of broken tradition. To shadow the act
of consequence, muster must fester & bleed.

The pained tears of countenance

feed on granite faces granted amnesty

from history & its malcontents. Coming from

the north they set their compasses,


yet freed from vicissitudes of direction
the cluster breeds its circulars in flight

disseminating leaflets

among the autumn foliage & traffic

blockades the ruins of shattered plates

elastic in their numbered flux of memory

56
the agonistic plunge
lunges downward against mirrored skies

its sacerdotal chickens freed
from coming home to roast

candles vapid in the radio night,


delay the lurking shadows of noir.
Adolescent romance fades rapidly
under music that sways no tonic.

The nautilus submerges its pulse


in grandiose fictions of throbbing
biological urges both glandular &
wet. Vandals of pure emotion set

predatory sights on virginal prey.


Songs of yesterday breed no light,
only shadowed flesh, once fresh
now thickened with dreams lost

to memory s lingering vagueness:


a muffled voice, a sniffled tear held
back among now-laughable ruins.
An unfounded civilization s shards

the dreamer s archaeological digs,


the remnants of emotions rent past
due, the pained nerve endings now
blunt as bank transactions recording

bad investments. And the test of


memory slows its pace to ballad,
the lull of a distant place accrues
layer by layer its shredded gauze

58
& a triple chorus blues in deference
to days long gone to rue lone nights.
A sentence voids its crystal meaning
with the tarnish of a tempered hue

so distant from the youthful blush,


its hush no longer born of pride so
much as still. The music sings its
own slow pace, its chords of lost

harmonies linger, garnering the


lush growth of forgotten trees in
past forests, a blues-tinged chorus
dimly radiant before the future

across the horizontal continuum of the leaping synapse to being juxtaposed,


its formerly binary cattle crossing a delineation of consciousness with sated
ruins of syntactical artifacts lost in the stratagem’s diamond battle against the
vertical strata of consonantal conspiracies. The grammar police have lost their
forceps to community foreskins, no sin taxation without tea party sabotage,
pinkies extended overboard as champagne cargo, the representation a must
for the dust dwellers of history pontificating behind their castle motes,
rumbling politely as diatonic bass clef figurines, the key bored beyond the
code word of entry. New form begets old and its paradox breeds better,
swilling blue blood in post-perceptual repositories dubbed ego and sampled
wherever vintages are sold. The cask of dead fluids conjures leukocyte magic
played at low volume. Remnants of past glories raise old flags and paeans to
liquid prunes. The foretaste suffices for eating. Its groundswell of justifications
decomposes the field for the recomposition of its successors, no reticence
applied for, nor taken. Its visage presupposes consciousness where nuns exist
but couscous. The visceral endemic lacerates the shunning tide, its rum-
soaked trade holding its own among the skippers while melanin defines the
edge. Centripetal tenter hooves the tether of ancient galleries, where frayed
theories flay their last breaths at practice. The moment becomes itself,
efficient with flattery. Sanctuary becomes impossible in the repetition of
columnar dread. No cable extends its infancy. The pillage of community values
proceeds for width past its distant measure. Clamoring burlap tunics stump
forth from the lost caves of ancient privilege, their shamans evoking exorcistic
rites, their luminous calls to. Assuage the sins of commas where colonoscopy
fears to tread. No participle need seek its self-contained ruin. The ancient seed
grows itself parsed anon. Amid archaic phrases the younger seek their dudes.
And music cons the temporary id. Threading sequences ravel themselves or
un. The case may be whatever. One knows. One says. The other. Stasis breeds
metastasis and other cancers. Cells multiply using calculators while the line
seeks its own definition moving as being that is being moves across the field
of composition, threading itself to the animate-inanimate continuum it
transgresses sedimentary vertical hierarchies to continue igneous lines of

Systems build landfill where once


it was hollow. To follow their logic
the pyrite must flow past jesters
hats & bells, a wild grin at that
juncture. The rhythm’s lost pulse
seeks restoration of metronomes
to political office, a nation of
clients leaking past continuity

THE VESTIGIAL CONUNDRUMS OF FORTIFIED PROPENSITY

need not apply their slake to the thirst of graphics

an interface that conscience cannot wedge

nor waiver

1.

In the fancies of the damned


importune brings central placement

to the genteel odes that swagger


outrageous candles intransigent as hooves.
Three nectar apostrophes bitter tangents.

Inflating crescents scream somnambulistic lightning


to the plasters that breathe their legends face. Innate sense
combs rickets from cardboard luster. Tics set home as
the basis:

all complaints embargo the cluster.


Nacreous shifts, individual precocities
stammer the swift tide. Neither fish
nor apogee shall still the intestine.
Lathers frost lingers caustic sundries
to camels seeking nations.

The skilled drizzle


(as counterpoint) becomes a snatch

330
of true jailed air

settee as game parlors seeks


platelet their visceral enthusiasm dead
count incumbents

its ballistic ingenuity


rifles the cellular intent

rhythms cry gone plastic the density


hums control as truants of numbers

sharing the regrets of oblong stasis

& the fate of the letter impugned

3.

The bulletins have ceased.


Their inverted return & paraphrase.
Bar lines thick as broad strokes
tremble ancillary fuselage.

THE STRUCTURE REVERTS TO ITSELF

its stumbling consequence no master,


fruited for plane geometry in the stars
upheld.

Denture adhesive convention


stokes the intensive fires,

styrofoams convection.
As current issues fled
equestrian persiflage

333
liberated italic commentary
from its temporal moorings.
Succulent encomiums pursued

demented procreates, their ancient liberties


at atrium for the harvest. Innate statues
credence intoned, renumbered the protest

against the sweat of its own forthcoming.


The settles grew. Metal detectives stewed
over novel ops. No mystery there. Covert

syntax operatives subvert the tongue


flickering asps against neon cartilage.
Essential regression contaminates

The transglottal epithets of bituminous ledgers
bloat their inharmonious decree, its badgered measure

breeds uncertain entities, its hidden clause persists
as a needy follicle haired with oil and burly pedicures
to blanche at. The keepers of the latest scorecard
franchise the database with 20/20 anthracite
begrudging the postcard its anthrax. Whose mentors
indulged their facts, their little favors? None, the withered
sports card sells at binary auctions, splitting octaves
over civil disobedience. No nocturne shall prevail

when the present modality shifts with justification,


a hint at the manner of the premises. The red falsetto
reaping its song as a right-wing diva’s delight owes
its glen plaid history to harbingers of past events,
none more evident than the casual sprinkling of articles
sowing mass consumption. The pledge to obscurity
weathers the seed of aesthetic contention, as always.
Who knows who says what as when, the secret of
their timing? Internal derailment tracks its own gear.
The tweedy nominative predicates itself in word games.
Others scrabble for whims of pastry and social justice,
a slate never in dispute as pavement or policy.

parchment remains random texts assigned specific meaning of spurious truth

but insist on its veracity if not abundance all meaning eclipsed at the altar
but one subterfuge remains central as remains of meaning begets meanings

surface symbol snake biting its tail in perpetuity dog chasing tail in reality
still the quest remains serpentine circles with terrier fur on a furrier tear
wherever strong beliefs are sold to embolden the gratis gauntlet of the
quest toward a grinning enigma blinding light from good dentifrice or the
core of centrifugal forces running in cosmic circles where the center cannot

Paraceltic alchemy glyph swinging riff post- the originally posted on the

masses so crass in their gaseous empathy no throttle too hard to pull or dull
to fill the sound of preaching to itself while reaching for the other’s fleeting
grasp an ultimate tangent of fingertips lashing and flashing in the wind
reaching for the touch just a tip away always tilting out of reach or promise
an eager sense persists subvocal soliloquies rendered visual voicing the
tongue of eyes surround the tenuousness of the untongued gavel hammering
its silence against the clamor wooden as artifact or stone conveyance the

of all things lost that never were except as unfound ed entries in a heavenly
swagger no new high priest could replay except to delay by vertical reach

and vestiges of dust as cartilage assaulting
muster gas as weapons of flatulent intonation

defrayed. Sheer mutiny threaders prolong
their better mentors. Bulling toward their

replayed insistent commands. Remanded

PRELUDE

Ecstasy occurs at the point of pre-construction. Extrapolating from


Jean-Paul Sartre’s The Transcendence of the Ego, IMPROVISATIONS
writes the moment of perception before the “I” forms by processing the
sensory data: a pre-construction. Deconstruction, automatic writing,
L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E poetry, Concrete poetry and author-generated
indeterminacy— a literary analogue to free jazz. IMPROVISATIONS
extends Jack Kerouac’s Spontaneous Bop Prosody to the immediacy of
open form—not Bird blowing two choruses on“rhythm” changes but
Cecil Taylor plunking “IS”on a verbal keyboard: energy music, shape-
shifting formcontent ecstasy in the moment of creation/pre-construction.
The computer (as solo and ensemble “instrument”) updates Charles
Olson’s compositional field with varied fonts, font sizes, tables, text
boxes, text justification, watermarks and graphic elements. Linguistic
alchemy: sound becomes sight, creates and releases tension inherent
between fixed and fluid forms. Outside the linear: Being as transitive
state, meta-poem as real time process, moment freezing to history’s
glyph thaws back to movement, vertical and horizontal lines opposing
histories/philosophies/modes of being, jazz coming from Africa in holds
of slave ships, and contemporary American political climate, among
others, recur as riffs/motifs in varying aural and visual contexts. In
reading/mind performance, space=pace: stanzas breathing white read
more slowly than full justification passages no punctuation high-energy
race horse tempo. Text as texture. Punctuation beats pulse or rim-shot.
Columns and tables read consecutively or concurrently: text as
interactive score, one voice orchestrated as multiple— linguistic
polytonality. Choose the route, or several, through the moment’s real-
time prism. It’s performance now.
