Rus Khomutoff - Four poems

1. Nemesis sky

A secret transmission
a noncoincidence found in
infinitization of otherness
the flame under the rubble
traversed unceasingly by the horizon
interdependence of a cosmic trigger
blossom quick synastry
sweet bitter officialdom

of the nemesis sky

***
2. Paradise & Method
To Lovebug Starski

An exasperated sigh of grammar and spice
rendered in haphazard lew
vintage wise vanity
lactose intolerant daunt
a dilatation of the dead body of reality
where spirit is no longer
anything but adventitious memory
spellbound speculations
phraseology in completeness
beyond our understanding
the finiteness of type

***
3. Sonic threshold of the sacred
To William Carlos Williams

What waxes wanes
the enforced reincarnation hour
and green quartz veins
over the mind of pride
nonentities
Nowhere you!
Everywhere the electric!
the golden one
living in a poetic world, devouring words
these are the thoughts that run rampant
love paves the way to our existence
***
4.
Prisoner of infinity
To Felino A. Soriano

Oh Prisoner of infinity
countercurrent between transgression and transaction
insinuation of eternity’s unrepeatable coalescence
poise deposited in an effervescent aye
on this iron chain of birth and annihilation
you espouse your catastrophe of charm
surefire voices that furnish the kiss of death
an unwearying impulse
to decrypt and decipher longing
like an idea infested with platitudes
realm navigator on the edge of consciousness

Mark Young - Meanwhile, at Altamont

A woman weeps.
         focus on the audience!
Another woman bares her breasts.
         focus on the audience!
There's a famous band playing.
         focus on the audience!
It's basically a backing tape.
         focus on the audience!
It was recorded elsewhere.
         focus on the audience!
The lead singer thinks it's a Hindu festival.
         focus on the audience!
He dresses accordingly.  
         focus on the audience!
A fight erupts in the front of the crowd
         focus on the audience!
at the foot of the stage.
         focus on the audience!
Members of the California Hells Angels
         focus on the audience!
bring their brand of law & order
         focus on the audience!
to the gathering. The band is quiet.
         focus on the audience!
A man in a lime-green suit pulls a gun.
         focus on the audience!
A Hells Angel stabs him to death.
         focus on the audience!
You couldn't see anything, it was
         focus on the audience!
just another scuffle, says the singer.
         focus on the audience!

[Performance. Make your best guess at pronunciation and performance, using the codes you already know, in the light of what is actually shown here i.e. read what is actually here, not what you think should be here. If possible, perform it aloud and not just in your head. Multivoice is more than ok, but try to avoid pleasing melodies. Musical instruments may be used with, but not instead of, the voice; though, in this case, I counsel against them.]

How to Exist

Close your eyes and drool into your hat.
Squat on your phone and fart.
Open your eyes and stare at a pea for 5 hours.
Wait for time itching in your palm.
Name your fork a key.
Walk in the sea and shoulder a brick.
Drop your skin in a suitcase and take a nap.
Drink your pee and tear a sheet into 4ths.
Hold a face against your face and remember the future.
Sink your head in a bowl of linguine and
     listen to the instructions of murmuring light.
