poem || Peter Ganick

things that relay warmth.


interpreting avid tones 
with their structural density 
called ousia 
structurally apathetic grammatically 
surfaces as the reason 
trotted vinyl apertures 
and needs of theatres 
some personable intrigues through vacancy 
a signifier treaded wholesale ramps 
through factories entrusted oversights 
as token duress familiarly structures 
and allies those trespassing veils 
admit symmetries scenes dreadnaughts 
all from flickering lamps 
thoroughly engrossed mosquitos treated once
through assertions meant 
[call it] value in anothering assurances 
the fraction of net-wise parameters—
what is signaled outsiders engulfing selfhood 
incapable about in each stadium—
reflexes call structural chances 
the recording parts mend frames.

finally woken into assurance 
oratory clutter no longer tones 
weird or practiced sheepishly 
called pragmatic 
the friend of paradise 
once settling avant garde handouts— 
merry therein spacious 
therefore ethically a brush on canvas 
for which one was not prepared.

however—canvassing neighborhoods— 
relinquishing methods—varieties of space 
to furlough—spaces nearly removed 
with gnarled factors a pause in data.

flurries of the nth occasional wave 
gainers either wallflowers 
caves the steady bulletins 
vacillations of primacy there vacating 
a metal hurdle—

some cadillac pandemonium 
leafs through standing stillborn intelligence 
passenger rooms on topics 
less floss intentions 
well-bred on invitations 
merely corrected a tolerance— 
atomic wildernesses.

a coincidental remake 
of volitional interdependence 
the standard item 
capitulatory as comprehension 
of a smallest podium—
notifiers performing jabs 
interminably 
those things reified 
intelligently wide of suchness 
wading permanence topically 
the structural inclemency. 

paradoxical notions 
wind through 
mended fences— 
teacups anoint value 
there insurgency 
teal or violet 
each lexical motive 
warming on soft chairs—
therefore combinations 
on chapter-blocked caprices 
running through waterlines 
on deposited beachfronts—
an amalgam reduced 
from starting ivory and naissance 
intending metal chords 
implications widely arcane 
though no language can solve 
this equation.
