from DESCRIBES || John Crouse

Stunned after crashing through the mouth and throat agreeable to oneself but not to others a show that is sweeping the nation after filling with water to keep from expressing or showing conditions of things to show internal parts depends on finding water impossible to believe.

To remain alive or very little evidence a rounded elevation oppressively hot to the hummingbirds the dividing of words into syllables bark that peels off in flakes.

A large ocean fish used instead of a word to smite as with a whip often used for food headed or bound inward is shocking with an obscure chapter oblivious to the danger glad to oblige.

Several bullets all of which may be shot a quack doctor from the uterus to outside a space from which most of the air has been removed is stopped for a time to hesitate between courses and opinions as a time for exchanging valentines gives the farewell speech a personal possession of great value showing the attitude of a person who thinks too highly of his or her looks or abilities to turn from a liquid or soild into a vapor from the tip of one wing to the tip of the other wing and become limp.

Power to breathe to death of the planet to twist around especially in gambling or winglike parts characteristic of winter that sticks out from the main part one of the paired moveable feathered or membranous parts sounded by the vibration of a stream of air and especially by the breath worked by the wind as if by rubbing that has meaning and is spoken by a human being a state of existence done by machines with spiritual affairs.

"WorldsChat in fact provides an example: _What anchors the avatars to the
simulated ground?_ Nothing, of course, except for programming(3) which
occasionally is faulty(1), sending figures flying(2). The screen(4), not
the delineation of a virtual world(6), is the final arbiter(5). And the
screen is nowhere(7); it is the eye(8), the stain(10) or residue(11) of
the gaze.(9)(12)" (from Past text, unknown date)

(0) as in scent - stain or residue of odor.
(1) faulty from the programmer's perspective of desired and achieved ends.
(2) flying - against the presumed tenets of the space.
(3) programming anchors nothing to nothing but creates the appearance of
such.
(4) the monitor or other visual interface.
(5) final arbiter - the inert or obdurate screen, the screen in the sense
of presence and appetition.
(6) boundaries of the virtual world as perceived.
(7) this is the crux, from the remnant of the text - that the screen, is
nowhere; it is in the vicinity of the perceiver/user; it's neither here
nor there, just as the body is presenced, even in absence, for the
subject - it's nowhere at all - its location is irrelevant - similar to
pain in this regard - think of the screen as internalized - as-if - it
might as well be -
(8) not the eye - what the eye sees - but the eye in the sense that one
does not see one's own eye - parts of it (pressing the eyelids, looking
out of a corner), but not the eye itself - mirrors give the reflection up
- nothing more -
(9) stain or residue - but the result of _gazing_ - not the ontology of
the eye but its productive epistemology.
(10) eye and gaze leave an _internal_ stain always already in need of
reconstruction - re-producing the originary scene - primal scene - whose
stain of course - then, within the memory, one's own, one has it - but the
metaphor tends to break down - not a stain at all - for the most part what
is seen remains unnoticed, filtered out - integrated in the absence of
anomaly.
(11) stain or residue - one defining the other; the stain is something
left behind - residue implying a sloughed coherent form - a form denuded -
or residue unrelated to stain - perhaps an inscription or molecular
fingerprint.
(12) is the screen then the gaze, the eye, the stain, the residue - or
are these parallel moments of absence - (not) having the author before me
- i'd argue the latter - perhaps not parallel - a collocation of absences
- as in leder's the absent body - the screen absent in this way -
(13) the screen or footnote then - of course - nowhere at all -

To show or tell the way straight to the point shows a person has graduated a downward slope represents the main goal a long dagger with a straight blade keeping good relations that makes things unclear especially in the cheek.

Honeycomb into electrical energy bombards survivors with questions or cushions sometimes tied under their chins to bolster their courage with a soft coating and a creamy center bodily functions with the two ends pressed close together to remove the bones from.

Hips landmark nearly shut fatty tissue forgetfulness voyage of languages in arrears all sorts of delicacies arranged by subject.

Magnificent array a place where military equipment is made large ears thinking about the landscape wayward son by which living things outlook along the highway a place or opening for letting something out to trace the outer edges of to pronounce part of a word with relative loudness or force.

Leaving the ground an imaginary event likely to cause collapse or destruction to scold or complain falling in drops from the clouds music that has a lively melody to feel or show extreme or uncontrolled anger or visions long heavy curtains an act or instance of drawing together higher than true pitch in a stylish way.

Steady effort state of being by twisting to cure illness as distinguished from drink absorbed through the skin in writing and speaking a musical selection as a pill or liquid of different compositions in honor of a special event.

The new law is measure to a machine by machinery chopped or ground meat to communicate for good measure with the spirits of the dead.

Steady progress that soldiers to ocean navigation by attached strings by hands and warships that resemble wings an open box of concern for finding routes human beings hands and fingernails.

Map the heaven a long hard contest covers and wraps impressive beauty and greatness left the package on the way hopme the same side of the body as the heart.

Making laws without meaning to a bloodsucking worm allowed by law or rules something shaped like a leg or baking powder clear enough to be read causing to rise a list of symbols as memory or knowledge having no legs collected by the authority of the law a drink made of lemon juice symbols for speech sounds written on large crisp leaves and cool in judgement.

Marks the writing the strict or outward meaning a gearshift lever liable for damage affected by the time needed to pronounce it a certificate that shows two vowel sounds a contagious disease used as a letterhead that makes in one syllable breathing and swallowing difficult from one point to another an alphabetical list without turning or stopping.

Dangerous Palmistry

Virginia, calm-browed opossum,
watching whom writing do

Virginia, calm-browed opossum,
any of my names vaunted
is a lure to rival any forked meat

Virginia, calm-browed opossum,
I, too, o'erlook'd graceful usurpers

Virginia, calm-browed opossum,
common collars, daily, abjure,
twice, my familiar folly, Virginia,
O Virginia, calm-browed opossum

Virginia, calm-browed opossum,
we neglect artillery kings; the mad are horrid
Virginias, Virginia, calm-browed opossum,
the mad are horrid Virginias still

Virginia, calm-
browed opossum,

awakened
the moon
and, with
all portion
of notes,

stayed the pluck, old cheat,
slowed the oft, loitering like
some longer-lived eye's toy

Virginia, calm-browed opossum,
corpses, perchance, meek me well —
CHRONOS, Virginia, met as a sparkling lisp

Virginia, calm-browed opossum,
last night I dreamed I owned
a W. Somerset Maugham novel entitled
"Miss Claverly And The Postmodernists" —
it was a slim black Signet edition with
the inscription, in unknown hand, THIS
MAKES DEPTHY DEEPS FOR ROARING ICE

Virginia, calm-browed opossum, you, too,
may yet make depthy deeps for roaring ice

Virginia, calm-browed opossum, you, too,
tho craftily, not perchance, meek me well

Virginia, calm-browed opossum, to speech, aye,
to speech the deranged oath — dare I? — aye:
"dangerous palmistry, ah!, 'dangerous palmistry'"

Wraps skin disease as strength performing courage makes clear a mantle of snow believed to be typical of men affected with mange as if insane.

Ovary of scrimmage of creating useful machines an engaging smile set to explode when disturbed marked by or paying attention to small details causing or likely to cause minor injury or harm a mistake in a word that has been printed to say or make the sounds of incorrectly.

Miss a deadline a crime less serious the baby clapped with delight to write or tell about something that gladdens the curd of milk pressed to urge on enclosed by the breastbone pleasently bright according to many of the rules a light friendly converssation.

Dishonest methods a vehicle of ancient times attracts and pleases to gain advantage to the side of the mouth to search through or into with respect to direction.

A way of speaking to be obliged a gradual lessening in thickness an outburst of bad tremper grows straight down the last bugle call at night blown as a signal to put out the lights.

Come to pass reproductive gland trappings another part of the forest stopped by surprise to journey from place to place or to a distant place through openings in the leaves.

Voted down the proposal can be measured with no expectation blinking the eyes joining the club is voluntary pretecting from the wind.

Cell wall carries a shield a small telescope into a ball surrounds the cell membrane when threatened a promised reward spurs faulty worships worse encloses the next days.
