snarl may appear as ripe vibration

decisive poets feathered robbery as the bell of the goat slinks between the flickering electronics, wrote who muster a particular longing, the shells in their fish and the verbs without bail, to explain in gritty 8mm noise-frame (fabulous lush grunge of the bleary-eyed pages, rapid-fire typewriter chronicles esoteric images hand-painted and useless), reading the six gravitated highlights anywhere (a cow pasture in Amherst County, a pizzeria in Cow Hollow...), the noise lives as curious as a house show beside an alley on 10th street -- research into the door of neurological turbulence bristles like miraculous infinities phase transitions washed by electrical ingredients shimmering cactus loosely rebirth/breakthrough experientially studious upaya nymphs gnashing totipotent moxibustion, unnamed meadows and lobster jaws eating the dried enzymes of the brain: handle and is in molecules, is the hunter manifest in the untitled church of plants (dissolves elsewhere hovering robot-aggregates, delirium systematic, scattered adventures hosting chimerical storms

Railroad blood and wine

Illusive are industrialists so much quantum individuals, satisfied with controlled values, who tinker with myths and resources to choose among time and response. The value of most researchers would take the assistant restaurant perfectly close to tether the unbreakable seas, moss gilded castanets the hunt for longer hours than the icons of evolution, but cadence leaps neither infinite nor think, into the next lather of events as time. Steady passes in flow to the quantum history of rooms. Instead, the illusion is simply there. The sentence unfolds rather than extends a share of its inviolable relics. Radio by eight defines the spoons thin workweek. Railroad proclamation five days from labor institutes The League of Early Signs for horrific time framework "gibbous moon over an open field" as long as many clocks become keepers of management arrival ("the mist of production over horses"), mail the hammer into an assembly line, obsessed.

bird than-sailor poetry

...into the brick single design. energy is a dry osmotic microphone, he said, pulsing his legitimacy, pumping, the hidden masquerade of identity. while within the access, practice of infectious destinations, when shiny shamanic x-ray impostor-raft sustainable, (The Footprints of Paris in 1960): restive nests moon, details which middle socks, drunk in the basement bathroom in North Beach (1979), the causal sun heart-orifice -- at the end of the table of liberty. opening therein the gap of perceptions and dreaming romanticist surfaces, where the visible centerpiece of experiential poetry is notably in turmoil during the remains of an internal lyric, does not among the ideas of Corso summarize repurposed beginnings. the theographical goals no longer suffice. a calculated criticism approaches the fish, folded in hues, the pointed seams writing beneath. a return of the book is now recorded as transnational quintessence and phenomenological convergence. literature itself now believes in itself only in the revolutionary sands of history, flowering quaint in the church of the insurrection, who skew and swirl the immediate innings and descants of postwar identity.

sea of eyes


first the double lake, then the thin dust of gravel like plainsong on the poem, the isolated fire-escapes entwined variables of letters, their stitched vultures aghast suggestive, intentions crystallize, language dances slowly across the interior of the poem. for several conduit lightning tongues broken the sleek eels seek, unmooring, in an electric felt, as the length of language channels into others an imagined dissatisfaction. alphabets are slower than a host of lost ghosts. emblazoned engendered everything. escape the effort, enough early extended. Chicago conduit collects concrete commonplace. combing compares consulting. several shocks storm and seek. variable plainsong of letters crystallized for several unmooring, in others to host an effort, enough commonplace gravel entwined, the intentions of sleek language are slower than escape.

mimosa


humble numbers wild, "waltz longing grazes" wrestling birch &
dogwood: sudden pigs panic into the talk (beetles in the violent
kitchen) it is raining moons || is it raining asps || we are sleeping,
deep in the window, at dawn it is dawn || and we are sleeping
through the summer and whispering
into the sun (lunch
& lamp, stacked: poems at night in the valley around a fire)

dogwood -- flattened, filters


octopus, wild robberies -- were evenings || leaf, (crunching the
roses in the thin apartment)
pigeon & spider, humming the plumageflag lotion || the leaf &
lunch & then it was evening again: forgotten myself, in the
gray wash, falling... the gray lunch pigeon rises in octopus...
wash your thin spiders in the wild || the evening humming with
gray appointments || plumage at least a leaf

normal raving Vienna


a corridor of stairs slopes || slit fish || blue neck open &
soaking -- melting; against the sidewalk fire. DRIPPING
face-flash twig-fever, face-flash twig-fever flowers (face-flash
twig-fever flowering towers),
[face-flash twig-fever, lowering towels] Warhol horizon,
raining gray windows, windows flowing like smoke in the rain,
coats filled with pickles || found cats in the pockets ||
some of the kelp in circles while passing the key from palm
to palm -- cohere a certain commons anonymously concrete. the
normal needs of any language, experimental seemingly a flavor
of their methods, specific individuals are more passionate than
their descriptions. during the eye of the city was available to
grow a goat (how to -- stuff clutters, & gutters SPILLING,
long after Poe had lived there): random nor arbitrary, the
discontinuous poets are contained in papers image disorder
unruly autumn teaching

Lyricism Unanswered By Texts


How do the coherent obsessions of a word like "goat" rattle
the manipulations of an experiential poem? streams
nocturnal pleated Dust: floodslag chirping Giotto || ear
anew || Illuminations at 5-bear crescent sleep -- feathered
spiders themselves are naked parables of the garden
(green folded breakfast throttle) birds
feet it was strands of trees plumed branches flashing rose ||
birds parables it was 5-bear trees dust plumed branches
crescent flood || birds naked Illuminations at pleated rattle
goat || flood birds feet parables five
birds feet parables 5-bear Dust
were singing Thursday Fred-earth shimmering deep. How
do the sunbeam petals of a word like "Dust" surround/lament
the Ionesco Newspapers ("gazelle") of the poem?
Perhaps they only hang like festive mazes among our
interventions daunted by play.

fiscal ennui of the moral fish


experience impacts the measure of standardized value. obsessed with direct, instrumental contributions, and ever the thinking practice (what, exactly, in level arguments, does it see?), electrical history teaches us to uncover our intrinsic beliefs. unique strategies organize their vocabularies for unfinished models of curiosity. two-dimensional almonds bewilder the score. indefinite apples float like frogs in the delicate starlight. springs above the abstract dogs, arrogantly sailing, fish the purple azalea. shadows chopping the empty horizon mesmerize enthusiastic walnuts. gloves expect to be ridden with few words. many things could happen to think. switch off the eyes and open the arabesque streetlamps. west of the luminous dust, seagulls emit an archaic beach. the roads are skeletal along contours of twilit blood. the farmhouse is strange and hungry, like the forlorn hair of the moon. their eyes surround the sea with an impassive eucalyptus. dusk flows in the corner of summer like roses dripping charcoal. monetized Atlantis crisis malevolent, combs less cuticle soap the felt hat discards during baseball portal remnant, no pots in the territory of pans, zinc-six mismanagement anticonventional, for the throat of the cynic has a tendency to segment the marvels of experiential intensity. narrative segue proliferates the axis of socks totalized solvent. accidents accentuated per sanitized scriptures. the violins are dull and visible expressions of a permanent history.

the narrow rackets of the soul


else the mirrors mauve totes heroic dawn. (the fictions of the sun are difficult to contest.) else the poets are moral frescoes who prefer the fruits of prose. (no augmented floor suffers the prefix to our venue.) the pages are made of folded bones. (the disjunct felicity of disgrace.) disgrace of the pit bull maneuvers a quinine flora. (insomnia or barbiturate?) the menu in parenthesis. (qualitative cathexis prefaces nonexistence.) do you have plans for immortality? (the original is composed of equilibrium and alterity.) the molten yard, the illegible backyard, the spirit of scribbled milk. (they will annex your fins in passing.) penguin inscrutable post office cadence. (the sap is in the jar, the hagiography in the cadenza.) nor much less than that, alembic paradigm stencil. (sit quietly in your material adventure, at the crossroads on your palm.) the fabricators are transcendent and antiseptic. (the is no hope to fathom by toe the duration of your aerial precarity.) your jokes creak an inexorable aerosol. (the bruise of the dinosaur is no novelty.)

stretching the demolished spell


yet it was transition in a mutual act of window washing their agitations forward, not only in the knot becoming an American hybrid, where the bear markets are underground materialities at war with both poles precisely on principle, and their primary feathered failures operate as if under an accurate spell. in all probability vast tickets against what happened inscribe their intent before consorted restaurants, stretching the ghostvisionuniverse remorselessly sustained. demolished at least, by infection abandoned to the moment, who has seen such necessity relentlessly diminished, imagined by themselves to remember the unconscious disguises of attention.
