THE WINCH

I cased this moratorium and moratorium’s mine,

                  kindergarten of davenport’s dasher,

                  dam-datura-dozed.  Failure in his

                  rhapsodizing

Of the rocking lettering underneath him

                  stateside aid, and straying

Hibernal there, how he ruined upon

                  the regularity of a widowing

                  white slave

In his eclipse!  Then octagonal, octagonal

                  forever on swerve

As a sixpence’s hecatomb swamps slack

                  on a bounder-bell boy:

                  the hundred and girdling

Reaped the better willow.

                  My headway in heralding

Stigmatized for binoculars—

                  the accrete of, the mass of

                  the theta

Bronchial beard and vale and acrimony, oh,

                  agreement, preview, pluck, hauntingly

Brown! and the finial that braves from thee thankfully

                  a bicuspid

Timbale ticketed more loquacious,

                  O my cheroot!

No wolf pack of it: shady plank maddens plexus

                  down silhouette shellac and

                  blithe-bitter ellipse fabricate, fuse

                  and garble glum-verbal.

MERCY OF MUTTER

Mercy of mutter waddle

Against Pennsylvania, elope among or underpin.

Inside Clovis, phalanstery and plaster

Goose among vagina, décor mess

Beyond swag of font goose

In Clovis, fluff and coitus land

Amid plaster, vagina elopes or

Waddles with festoon of vagina.

Against dyskinesia drip with crudwork.  Guilt

Through dyskinesia, festoon fester or

Shallow among plaster.  Plaster as vagina dilapidates

Between materiality waddles out of décor, mercy underpins.

POCKET POETICS

General economy not restricted economy.

Sovereignty not mastery.

Buddhist and contemporary contingent self (a subject position)

not orthodoxy of Abrahamic eternal self.

Sublime inhuman procedure not ego-driven craft.

Avant-garde NOW not capitalist NEW.

Fluxus and COBRA not High Modernist.

Use value of writing not exchange value.

Proletarian dessert of nonproductive waste.

Stuplimity.
