& what I am
seeing in dark
foreground
chu chu chu
wintry branches of April
made a mistake
taut time
taciturn
meek
transition
t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t
in train time
grumpy laboratory
inebriated to the Chinese
hut time (train)
exile (train) from
the plane world
Zaum Canadian geese
so
high
mallards
all sisters in the Olson project
but what of the bees going down
to cell phones
I await the
Greeks of Syracuse
& excuse the maidens of Troy
& was it worth it, for them, the ride
a demesne of the real
on to the Capitol to make our Way
tuffm
I zimbrabin
for not so
far off back there
a
Buffalo
mind is such a classy ground
civil or strife?
Albany working
the
weather yet?
over the age of 60
you’d better travel
light
& Jonathan Skinner’s metabolism of
birds
never shirks
the rails
species that is in his soundscape
a body
tuned
inward
& Ben Friedlander: could you read the
Bombed
America poem
in front of Baraka?
wonder the mode changes
a train’s
side slides
snow on wire
trapped
in industrial middens is worth
sluice?
dilatoriness?
& other
nesses
the path of
with magic rattles
drums
serpents etc. I want to hum!
the thought is made in the
mouth
pierce the reminder
I meant renditions
Fuck the
renditions! I want to hum!
what opens opens
(going into trance now)
not gon’die
not gon’leave
can you hear me in the back?
grey willow grey
grey curate grey
shade & syllables in sky
tongue or change is
color
gradation in gradual grays
in blues
guy behind me mumbling
“Creeley, Creeley”
(knew him
apparently)
mouse on
something like an assembly hall
lateral
ticket,
the girl winks
log on log
field on field
things are symbols of themselves
priimiitittiii tisch
hermetic AND utopic.
In motion Buffalo-NYC April ’07 after
OlsonNow events.

Hugo Ball, Tristan Tzara, Mayakovsky, Amiri Baraka & Kurt Schwitters
