always present on the ashes

presented in the rising cries of cantors

The present that was yet to come

enumerated something subtle in tense.

The virtual reality sinecure assembles

the modality of its accruals resent the tapirs

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

in the teeth of their alabaster

Ring the sounds down

the cake shall eat its due,

redundant as the force shall web.

Its prey shall ebb wordmusic / rhythmpulse

ticketing sonic thicket with verdigris

Their roots thread the equations of tropical rigor

of the grove pressing the Atlantic,

a topic of vigor among the monthly

unit structures. The rhizome of continuity

arises, disjunct in its latent craw.

The barnacle of ambiguity

seeks its own pleasure amid the thaw

the cry at perception s core,

the angst of reflection dissected

at the waist of the spectral tray

forwarding remuneration

for the many by the few obtrusions

of the varicose barium follicle

an enmity not soon forgotten

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

& moribund leather s teeming stench

intense as the dead cows of battle.

A sense of the whiff s

natal utterance naturally

restores the muse of

slaughterhouse,

legal as fecundity at the second

regal fist succumbing to the nostrils of despair

wherever the tainted toll shall bull.

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

proclaiming the estuary the throbbing pulse of its know

against the ledge of creation s vaunted glimmer

where diatonic waters stand

lush with tainted ruins proclaim

the social skills of brick

herald the new rubicon, the river

where its styx limbo the tide

of raincoat watches flashing time

amber to neon the zone salting

the sutures of futures past the

feted influx of dominant tonics

subbing the sonic flow s ebbing tide

flushes sin, curse the fist & the snore

of city s wake, a death prima churned

the butter of gallery life glistening skin

bidden by sacred boundaries to the id

30

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

in their midst. The fetid swamp

occludes conclusion by decree,

stores the millennial prophesy

in dicta s jewelry box. Pandora s tinted mascara

hints at the secrets without (touching the subject s

matter within the purview of the Hatter s wondering

The rap the rattle of rhythm s intent

One to three/four, one in three/four

the mystic numbers of the embryonic realm

sizzle the cymbal, snap the snare

rumbles low then high then round,

sound singing itself to the swing of the skip

pump thump bump rumble down

the bass drum. Beyond

counting the flow energy s pulse thickens, quickens, slows

to texture, poses flexure of tonic intent, the fold of attention

attenuated to solo motion the mood of basil in a Sunday gar-

den sunning its hairy brood the music of mating meditating

its forthright lung cements the intention of accruing fluids

rimming the cup of limits brimming over the vague conjectures

of wizard hands trajectory rainbowed as wheeling light slowed

The decay inevitable, they

Nor will the delay

Barnacles shift

The multitudes parlay voo, do francais

For getting the rose its memory,

Axioms bring flowers to vacant doorsteps,

But no guard promulgates the wing

The richest among them continue

while participles of haste bestow

a phallic occlusion barters

The steeple rescinds its clime.

The pockets of the newly dead arise,

changelings strange in their newfound currency

abound in the vortical defluctuation of catacombs

bound with barrettes, refulgent steins their deepening plenitude

forecasting Jocastal intent

upon flurries of Oedipal displays

of lumbered jackets shredding the umbral fist

enlisting myth to insist upon the logos of ancient sight,

yet missives dismissed

blanket the fenders where ankles preen

along the light-bending continuum.

At night s end the messengers bringing

gratuities of purposive acts explosive in their distraction

protract gratuitous actions or realist folly, insistent on surrealist wagers

where sin is debt, and sinecure

ninety percent of doctors wreck

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.

54

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.

3.

At the tide of unsent relics

the daily harbingers defamed

lavender trellises,

a quid pro quo encumbered.

Dactylic shreds humbled

insane priorities to dried lather

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

57

the agonistic plunge

lunges downward against mirrored skies

ignited across rumored celebrations

cognition, sight & sense appeal

to myriad raincoat agents

trimming brush with pens of the newly dead.

The tenor flung to wailing dead precedents

cashed in on the featured nurture,

its sacerdotal chickens freed

from coming home to roast

58

XVI

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

59

& 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 satedruins of syntactical artifacts lost in the stratagem’s diamond battle against thevertical strata of consonantal conspiracies. The grammar police have lost theirforceps to community foreskins, no sin taxation without tea party sabotage,pinkies extended overboard as champagne cargo, the representation a mustfor the dust dwellers of history pontificating behind their castle motes,rumbling politely as diatonic bass clef figurines, the key bored beyond thecode word of entry. New form begets old and its paradox breeds better,swilling blue blood in post-perceptual repositories dubbed ego and sampledwherever vintages are sold. The cask of dead fluids conjures leukocyte magicplayed at low volume. Remnants of past glories raise old flags and paeans toliquid prunes. The foretaste suffices for eating. Its groundswell of justificationsdecomposes the field for the recomposition of its successors, no reticenceapplied for, nor taken. Its visage presupposes consciousness where nuns existbut couscous. The visceral endemic lacerates the shunning tide, its rum-soaked trade holding its own among the skippers while melanin defines theedge. Centripetal tenter hooves the tether of ancient galleries, where frayedtheories flay their last breaths at practice. The moment becomes itself,efficient with flattery. Sanctuary becomes impossible in the repetition ofcolumnar dread. No cable extends its infancy. The pillage of community valuesproceeds for width past its distant measure. Clamoring burlap tunics stumpforth from the lost caves of ancient privilege, their shamans evoking exorcisticrites, their luminous calls to. Assuage the sins of commas where colonoscopyfears to tread. No participle need seek its self-contained ruin. The ancient seedgrows itself parsed anon. Amid archaic phrases the younger seek their dudes.And music cons the temporary id. Threading sequences ravel themselves orun. The case may be whatever. One knows. One says. The other. Stasis breedsmetastasis and other cancers. Cells multiply using calculators while the lineseeks its own definition moving as being that is being moves across the fieldof composition, threading itself to the animate-inanimate continuum ittransgresses sedimentary vertical hierarchies to continue igneous lines of

Its penchantfor accumulated vagaries quenches thirsty missteps inthe wake of ancient centipedes berating thatched his-tories. A thorough search of their mettle defectors takescarcinogenic vagaries to hearten artichoke ravings. Abadge of predatory rapture synthesizes their crucialanimosity, saving the best for the past. Relocationclamors destitute bravery in the face of vast citiesmoving in rotation across the predicated skyline, a storyof predatorial rumination preceding illumination inmatters of lost consequence. Receding victoriesthunder dead accolades, faint in the distance.Restitution needs retribution, a grudge match ofintrinsic parallels. To scam the horizon, a poker bluffs itsstroking hand, sizing up derision acetates anddiscarding visionary mews at the crossroads. To uploadthe incurious fontanelle, the imbricated swelling ofimplicated starts re-grates its sun field, shadowingacrimonious subdivisions at level entry. The matchingcraft shudders its artisans through the sealed gate.After hatching the plan, their hatred revealed grandiosemuttering. Their preceding histories wrote the winnersburied under their load. Goaded by their pronoun haze,the blazers of new pathologies swore by their garterednecklines that no protrusion would emerge under theauspices of their canceled reflections or any othermisdirections of retributive allocation. Any othersituation would forestall the consummation of itswherewithal, however devoutly. Its attrition speaksnightly as fireworks light the shadows of catwalkumbrage. Suspicion breeds forthright platitudes.Lumbering needs make themselves felt, for the rightprice. No attitudes accepted. Cash or credentials.Without the urge to razor the felt strops tumbling overinsulated junctures, night dice will rattle concrete alleystalking under fated breath. Discreet allies appear too

Half-dead hammers shatter the bitter loom.

PRELUDE

Ecstasy occurs at the point of pre-construction. Extrapolating fromJean-Paul Sartre’s The Transcendence of the Ego, IMPROVISATIONSwrites the moment of perception before the “I” forms by processing thesensory data: a pre-construction. Deconstruction, automatic writing,L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E poetry, Concrete poetry and author-generatedindeterminacy— a literary analogue to free jazz. IMPROVISATIONSextends Jack Kerouac’s Spontaneous Bop Prosody to the immediacy ofopen form—not Bird blowing two choruses on“rhythm” changes butCecil 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 CharlesOlson’s compositional field with varied fonts, font sizes, tables, textboxes, text justification, watermarks and graphic elements. Linguisticalchemy: sound becomes sight, creates and releases tension inherentbetween fixed and fluid forms. Outside the linear: Being as transitivestate, meta-poem as real time process, moment freezing to history’sglyph thaws back to movement, vertical and horizontal lines opposinghistories/philosophies/modes of being, jazz coming from Africa in holdsof slave ships, and contemporary American political climate, amongothers, recur as riffs/motifs in varying aural and visual contexts. Inreading/mind performance, space=pace: stanzas breathing white readmore 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 asinteractive score, one voice orchestrated as multiple— linguisticpolytonality. Choose the route, or several, through the moment’s real-time prism. It’s performance now.
