I woosh! owell there was nothing there a hollow
in Willy's heart & feature—ripping—a stone—a pebble—
they—ventured—with—old—man—Charteris—out
to—Middlemarch—and—beyond—distributing butter (fernleaf).
Or stopping over for lunch you dropped the truck off the road
under trees at the riveredge—the matting of pebbles
each one repeating to the eye with or without the water's touch

to smile at one another, Max J.

Heliogabalus—sexual
access (excess)



we       travel  distances        in        our      minds to        reach  places
denied—perhaps—to—others



Vaudeville—(the man
said it couldn't be done)    a dying art (art dying)
pantomime

whether it's giant (excellent) 12' ants as in Gordon Douglas'
film Them! or champagne glasses poised atop of a round silver tray—
whether it's—cold—or a blue backdrop (acdc) puts
a fly in the soup—
whether it's discrete—language particulars driven off a thing or
a person's affections: her thick eyebrows, winsome lips
narrow shoes, calotte or calvary went by and so there was a flash, a
prickle—every
revolving asp—silvery caltrops—that curt-
ains hanging should of themselves present no awkwardness, unless
pressed back by the breeze, or to the side by some
properly unsuspecting hand (to a view!)—
I must have at a point two things in the mind... a
navy uniform—a car, a badge—a newborn
So it is: 'stay loose' (a bar of heat)
suppleness of breath, something I haven't tasted, or I should regard
you as a favoured presence—reaching thru the
gaps—a beautiful female is everything! That I be—to love!
M... —should that be the name but not the one—a young
girl, glassy eyed—loss of voice (a name for it)
formic acid—to lift the senses (alert) sand lifted up &
tossed en masse—a sand storm, a car & trailer—
Get the antennae! I
said, get the antennae!—for SURE—(Wilbur)
mandibles—
a scientist's dream come really true! Anvthing. anvthing for science!
(tsk)
arm over arm up the language      !

There is something that will come and take
out of this second, from this
second—that which I (he) is locked: blockage.
On the cambered surface, sealed, fixed—divided by a
broken white line, a gathering of locusts.
A loud beginning green autumn!
The light that's eased off things, takes leave, travel by bus
over the black dustjacket; white
Of Grammatology, of red, a scene of green or cream.
Inside, the running gate, the burst page—writing
(again) passed forward.
All are stopped in their colours, white, yellow,
red, green: the cars themselves are stationary. In rows, TQs
at the entrance-way. Trailers.
And out again. Past the lake.
