such episodes do happen...
when i write more than i read:
by that i invoke
even the wait... necessary for
the weekend edition of a newspaper
and... all the reviews come in...
of books, of t.v. shows...
imagine: people have employed
people to ingest... digest...
ingest... digest what\'s on offer...
while lying in bed for an hour
i had to cling to the idea
of having enough time
to listen to an hour of BBC radio 3...
call me a snob or whatever
but this is where the taxpayers\'
money is being well spent...
bbc radio 3 is a flagship model
of \"arrogance\": well... more or less
a perfected taste...
or not that even remotely
being allowed... to pass (with)
my breath let alone off my tongue...
i\'d rather employ my tongue
to trill an R or wriggle in between
chewing a decently arrived at cut
of beef - that hasn\'t been doubly
butchered...
although... if my memory serves me
right... the folk in england
prefer their beef done to a synch...
well-done...
doubly-butchered...
eating among the natives
i\'d soon turn to a diet of
the Jain... or thereabouts
with that plethora of spices
and lentils...
but i would go begging vegetarian
if i were served... well done beef
all the bloody time...
undeserving... rearing a colt bull
for the slaughter and not appreciating
something either bleu...
rare or medium at the rear of
rare...
a bit like contaminating
whiskey with lemonade (when bourbon
just the trick)...
or not... or when gesticulating at
something in Braille...
reading the air: or as one might
have to... tackling the Linear B...
but there are certainly not enough
hours in the day for listening to
bbc radio 3...
for a while i thought that radio 4
had the prime status...
conversation: mmm hmm:
very important...
come to think of it...
i have got used to walking without
needing the cushioning of my fatty
brainz with two pouches of
electric-current seizures... at the snap
of the fingers (etc.)
- that the wind doesn\'t play flute...
well i neither fart out syllables
of trombone either...
a bizarre interlude of when i actually
read less than i write...
oh i\'m pretty sure it shows...
when i write more than i read...
i start to choke on my own subjectivity,
self-importance... \"autism\" / solipsism...
by the hand that does
imitation vagina in the no. 3 on
the throne of thrones...
sitting in an akimbo pose
at the end of the day
when what has been necessarily shitted
out has shitted out
and there\'s only a prayer
for a tapeworm: no, no champagne
to not be... shitted out as proof
that... dieting revisionism works...
but like my fickle memory:
otherwise exposed to that almost
diabolical Pavlovian stressor testing
within the confines of pedagogy...
(k)nitty-picky what\'s on offer from
history... ah... the Angevin empire...
the Capetian dynasty... culminating
with Phillip II...
Henry II...
Otto IV... not sure...
thrown into this cauldron of time...
what\'s on offer...
we most certainly fill this world
to the brim...
so much so that there\'s no reason
or capacity to keep up...
at a time when i write more than
i read...
an exhaustion with a self
and all its abstract bollocks, comes to mind...
it would be so much easier
to doodle back into reading something
\"important\"...
but it\'s not like Delmore Schwarz is alive
and it suddenly dawns upon me...
apart from reading newspapers...
the odd opinion section daily...
waiting for Sunday\'s news review...
lately... dissatisfying...
and all the book reviews...
well... perhaps i\'m writing more than
necessary because, simply because...
well... if the substance / topic
is oh so very interesting...
the punctuation is without \"umami\"...
of note: the english language is
without diacritical marks
so there goes the whole idea
of meditating on intra-verbum
punctuation / syllabary...
no... i did my stint with katakana and i\'m
not going back...
i need to see holes again...
to x-ray through and onto the canvas
holes in: a, b, A, B, R, O, o, P, p, g,
d, D... q... Q...
bring me back to seeing letters
for their sounds...
after all these letters look like
they were intended for
lip-reading...
and most of the time they are...
quirky awry sucking a lemon almost: Q...
qp
cute: parrot... cue moi... again...
- not that i can say i eer played
the violin...
but after a morning shower...
a day spent curating the garden
so the patio looks presentable
to the \"palette\" of which there
is no taste to be minded (solely for the eyes)...
an uncombed beard
does feel... less than a weed garden
kept by chance (or miracle)
of its own doing...
scratching my pubic \"altar\" is more
rewarding...
but, come circa 12am
and the beard is finally combed...
with its full bloom
and volume restored...
well then... the chin and the entire
jaw line can retain its
mythological status of being
hidden under this pubes-galore
wonder...
a full hand of this specific rustic
is what keeps me from
having any penis envy...
although my hands are expansive
enough to be able to hold
a basketball in one...
no wonder i prize a woman\'s
hands as the most erotic part
of her body...
clearly exaggerated exfoliations
of the hind and tits would
drive any man bonkers...
it\'s almost cartoonish but at heart
primeval / prehistoric...
what might allow me to gravitate
toward identifying an mammoth
without the word mammoth...
or a squid without the colour of
a mountain drowning in a sea...
qp... i believe that Ф (ef, fe, phi)
are its closest \"abbreviations\"
insinuating \"marriage\"...
but unlike that Siamese coupling
of ancient-doodle-this-doodle-that
of twinning vowels (æ)
qp... did emerge as F...
i abhor being reminded
that language is volatile...
that it \"evolves\" that it\'s an algebraic
x, y, zoot...
confiscate one of my tongues:
for the love of god...
push me into a structure
of psychology that has only
room for one zunge...
not these bi-schizoi-duo-d(wins)...
apparently each to their own...
- because it\'s not even that
i\'m expecting the natives to scratch
a furthering of exterior possible
with a 2nd tongue...
i\'m half-way: meeting...
i\'m fuck\'s sake all the half\'s need
to be passably involved for
the natives to interact with:
alias - pseudo n.p.c.
graffiti giraffe etc.
qp = ϕ
if æ = a + e...
yes... let me return to the letters
that represent sounds...
i don\'t care...
mother goose, alias superior...
what the mandarin hieroglyphs are thrown...
synonym them otherwise
are emoticons, ideograms. etc.
hell... throw in the Linear B...
that whole Mycanaean shabang...
i need to see what can be later heard...
not what can be \"insinuated\"
what is an otherwise
simple...
my boa my 堡 (ba-o)...
my f-ort...
but sure as chicken crazy
shitting pigeon glue
that\'s not a mind-bender of a su-do-ku...
for the reason that i might
love english pragmatism and abhor
the \"zeitgeist\" / vogue of Darwinism
like it might be a Copernican revolution...
i will not learn to decipher
Chinese hieroglyphs not because i\'m
lazy but because i\'m of a musical
lot... a#...
even though i\'m almost tone deaf
that\'s an elephant stepped on
my tongue... base my reason(s)
on an ability to whistle...
i\'m too agitated to want to learn
this labyrinth of squat: x-ray...
three alphabets available on the word
go...
but it\'s nonetheless redeeming
to caress a bush of a beard
with a mythological chin...
all the more since i can\'t play
the violin...
self- -love?
+
stressing my own self-
-worth?
no one, beside my own toils will
write such... taming...
beside all the lost ideals of love...
lesbians!
when kissing my teenage girlfriend in
the park when i donned long hair
like a Hindu priest...
etc.
way before the internet was
established as this gimmick of status quo /
a Sisyphusian task-load of
bogged down in baritone...
cull of toads...
and... gurgle... and gluttony of gurgling...
and soap bubbles...
and adventure... of skim-reading
encyclopaedic entries...
come to think of it...
reading and rereading an encyclopaedia
and somehow a revision
of a day...
come the same old spring
when in the loosening of air
come the exfoliating magnolias
that steal everything necessarily
not a vanilla mono-
glitch of the toast of taste, & buds...
how refreshing it must all
be: tamed, with(in) the confines
of atoms, of letters...
so far removed from the constraints
of syllables...
how \"poverty\" riddled
the complexity
of :
ン ナ ニ ヌ ネ ノ
ア イ ウ エ オ
fudge packaging...
might i \"want\" to use )( brackets...
what about an apostrophe?
to hide a surd...
e.g. gnostic = \'nostic...
i mean... all these idiosyncratic
very latin-esque junctions
of keeping up
aesthetic practices...
it\'s hardly fucking Bengali...
and even if it was...
what saved the blues (indians)
was their cuisine...
that rupture that explosion
from a standard of salt, pepper...
rosemary... thyme...
how the red (indians) didn\'t survive
the surge... how they admired mustangs...
how they didn\'t spice-up...
their bread was beyond flat...
how collectively: a breeding of man...
had to allow such curators of:
what was readily available...
left to waste... that land of the frontiers...
then came a claustrophobia surrounding
the great basin of hearth...
this spec of near impossible trajectory...
having a lace
of recurrent for a spin:
spring fresh... rekindled emotion:
once more... greater tasks for god
to contest: best nothing...
while there being a blister...
a homage to purpose within limbo...
if nothing was the mind-bending, enough...
that acting was what allowed
shadow-thieving...
from no pulpit
but i find it impossible to curate
what democracy is all hot & bothered about...
i can\'t find the vein...
of \"purpose\"...
agglomerate my first come last...
suppose there\'s this over-arching comfort
of predictability and
this snooze buttocks for skidding
into \"purpose\"...
i\'m less than agitated
by this core, defining... \"purpose\"...
since the purpose of journey is well
established...
but that there\'s also
a \"well done\" a pat-on-the-back
a sense of accomplishment
when laced with the \"claustrophobia\"
of death...
an oozing through a membrane
peeking from beneath a curtain...
sensibly being allowed to focus
on sphinxes... cats... bonsai tigers...
because as much as i love dogs
and have, loved, dogs...
ageing the leash is a non-starter...
i much prefer an intelligence
in the eyes of something petted
than the eyes that will otherwise
merely implore: scrutiny not available...
no wonder the blah-lah muslims
implore a scrutiny of letttering
of dog | god...
in english... i ask...
all? aaaah...
so who\'s more adhan ready?
for the sake of jumbled orange
and its jelly offspring...
at some point i might have...
most probably... encountered a completion
of rho-tart...
that trilling-R-monkey...
homo-similis / similis est...
but not since the replica
coliseums burst open onto the stage
of footsie fancy...
squat... scrutiny... beside the meaning
of words...
first come the sounds....
only later... whether or not
i kept vigil over having
spelled them, proper...
any \"deviation\" from standarised
punctuation inter-verbum
is my own...
and as my own: i keep it.
