Chief Amoeba


683983525957098258226205224894077267194782684826014
76990902640136394437455305068203496252

Chief Amoeba, a heavy Himalayan hillbilly, a wacky-ass buffoon, a laughing engine, a swollen, nervy, brusque guy; unchecked by worry, a coughing chauffeur, finishes a Turkish pipe, spacing a jurist: "Um, gee, I'm a happier, higher mockery..." 

Lola muzzles a chauvinism eruption, yelling:

451749399651431429809190659250937221696461515
709858387410597885959772975498930161753928468138268

"You're a lewd creep, Amoeba; a habitual dromedary; an obvious, bawdy, boozy shill; a penniless pumpkin and a chubby, cherished helot." 

"Likewise, bivalve. Humph." 

"Ike hired a sloppy, goofy, heavy hillbilly; a big, hacking, peculiar hippie." 

A veep, a mustachioed Colombian huffer, shoved him, heaving Chief:

683868942774155991855925245953959431049972524680
8459872736446958486538367362226260991246080512438

"Chief! Move, Chief, you paranoiac!" (A curtly wallop, a pitiful elbowing.) "Well, unreliable employee! I abhor a madhouse, you hairy boob; you hacking longhair." 

Chief's fairly beefy cowing woke him. A juror, a shapely frau, a visually yummy femme, shook him, joining in. 

Watching Giuseppe batten our hatches, vacillating here, Mafia...

olvido pornográfico mojado

short stunned leg blinking in the
laundry where yr fogged shirt
seat sees ,sees a flowing
on yr chest a clouded beach
my wandered lunch detritus
sloshing in the fishy surf your
finger name my headless
heaving ,shoulder lurching
toward the water’s door I
slept beneath the arches
,bees swarming in the plaza
where a fountain gushes in its
pool of plastic bags ~ ~  ~   ~    ~

...aquí se enterró...
- José María Heredia




olvido de la nada

señores me puse el pantalón y
por la ventana caí ,una mosca ví
y el aire invisible  .el libro con su
caquita se cerraba  .tttrueno y y y
.el sótano de orinas se llenaba cosa
que nunca olvividaba  .hoy las es
caleras se tuercen y apenas
sé subir ,hay cigarros y cha
pulines en cada peldaño  .una
botella esférica de tinta sin tapa
y yo con pluma de poly
propelina que escribe al revés
.señores y damas :no hay
calzoncillos que valen ,ni
calzado que no nos ahoga

...ants...
- Edgar Allan Poe



olvido del goteo

dit the sleet dime scorn swir
ling in the storm’s loot shuddered
roof spore the leaking fly knot
slams against the chimney slams
against the chimney lo que dije
como dripping under the stove
where an olive rolls to a stop in
lint  )my crawling eye(  inst
ance of emetics or my
dinner roll crum pled in
))my pocket((  white wind –
towels in the attic – my
spider tongue decapitation
steps into the frozen light

olvido de la corriente

recoldando recueldgos en the mutt’s
tongued lake oh shut’s spoon gas

tines ,fortuna de la rana multi
color en mi oreja espetando por
que no se me olivido .  .  .   )vi

Archetypical Manifestations
      Doomster of gutteral intensity. A cellophane skullduggery. Hyphesize secular seclusion. Avoiding banality with emotionalist saturation, malevolent, hypomanias resurgence, a wave of vendettas satiable accolades.

Vicarious charisma, physiological theurgy, verbatim folie a deux an emotive acanthocephelan. Maladaptive , intangible, sinecure. Simon Magnus on the silver screen, applying mascara masterfully. A symbolist travelling on a velocipede balkanizes with wizardry and word mongering a doohickey on Balder while participating in charahanc.

   A grotesque corpse his tumulus wave form an imaginary number. Illuminism of a superior wave of the future. A world powerresulting from phantasmagoric multi-media phase modulation. Synergetic referendum run by rapscallions using objective correlation. Sinequanon eccentric dadaism, ephemeral, dandyism. Libation of whiskey, white lightening, resulting in picturesque pink elephants.

    Dantean echelon simulating tetrachords on the periphery of territorialisms wanton, flagrant, insertion of Machiavellianism macabre nomination. Hoodwinked by a verbiage of whirlwind eventualities. Squinting at the horizon of ubiquitous simulation of misogynistic vindication of melancholy medallions undergoing hypnotherapy.

poem || Edward Nichols


                   Concrete Collage

      Contrasting caricutures constitutionalized the tragic semi-conduit of lavaratory containments indigenous condemnation of concrete concertos creeping along the sound barrier of decaying notes, much akin to a swan. Riveting ringlets of conferring ruthless anthologies of subdued withering habits of containment, remembrances of coincidal letters sent to the cosmos so refrains of sudden shudders answer on a plying platform of contagious innuendos fleeing just out of reach as pluralities substitute a resentment of communal platitudes measuring the gusts of vagrant samples of territorial torrential impulses complying with the cut of life which we all feel.

      Contradictory attainment retrieved sodden manuscripts dripping words to the vastness of nothingness. Reactionary futures resemble the past and sojourn into pools of sadness. I stand in it in my barefeet ,on one foot, it soaking through my sole, the planetary vibrations of archetypes. Rarely have I  witnessed such a downtrodden existence. I am the great nothingness. Existential darkness. Determined to break through the blocks and say what I want to say. It's just out of reach. I reach until I can't strain anymore. I realize it has written me.
