HOLY SAVING TIME SMOKING TREE’S SIDE BURNS
colloquy in the side of angels
god, his angles, bond to flowers
ours a sexual flower angels, pollinate
the sky holy holy holy sky glasspollinating
facing pane, & hurt & Tetris
facing pane, & hurt & Tetris
facing pane, & hurt & Tetris
pacing brushes on the eye
glass got in me, vibrate
kind of shutting out Come?
shut out Come? I really
needed it in, the hollow of her
eyes, on the hollow in his
her, in the hollow in her
his, in the hollow in this
forewater dust, reed, Tess asks
Tess asks for black, Russ asks softly aft
er her, Tess asks inside of her
Rush ages her inside
all ranges out, folded towels, all rang out names
folded towels, all times cry, all folded
hurt tonela, translucent
chocolate comes from horse hooves,
& horse hooves grow up
on the cacao plant.
Goodbye little flowers
there’s a narrative
that justifies me
His french name is Jean
his soul i feel
is not adequately described
he says the soul apart from mind
he says the soul a part of actions
the thing that actually terrifies
and torments his sleep
other comments
this book is so rich
some people try to teach it
in one semester
i think that i could teach it for a decade
look for the whiteness of the whale
Chapter 42.
* Intellectual Agility
if you look at the w
hiteness of the w
hale the superiority of things that are w
hite
if you read a speech of Abraham
Lincoln he will start conceding
point after point and you think stop but he is hiding
an absolutely crucial point
point that overturns the other points
at the end of the paragraph he doesn’t even start
over again this here
more a panic to the soul this weight
that is emotional it
overturns and makes everything trivial
previous
it’s somebody sailing in fact
to the south pole
the Tasmanians are black
the horror that rises out the sea is white
it is very similar to what
Melville does here
he never apparently
mentioned Poe
when an older book is looked at
it is locked in
to a conceptual system
but when you actually look
at the literature their directions
if you bring to
bear on literature
assumptions that you brought
from undergraduate festival reservations
then there’s Poe
his language becomes so
very elegantly persuasive elegantly hyperbolic
absolutely
incomparably fine as
this is rising music
things he treats more passively
This elusive quality
That induces panic
to the dumb gloating of their aspect
combining as mutually modifying
adjectives t
hat you really don’t expect together
all these varieties of whiteness
events that are also visions
are white
the squalls and the squid and all the rest the albatross
his attention
and Ahab’s attention are
focused
on this thing
he goes through all this
on my page 169
he’s always aware of the rhetorical
strategies
that he’s using
he’s always aware that the at
tempt to be de
scribe fails
is it that violent indefiniteness?
here is Moby Dick i mean
here is Melville
and then pulling it
into a conception of the universe
as a theological concept
ion
what seems to be a sort of detour
what is this universe
how are we to understand the beauty that we are
always susceptible to it he de
scribes it he creates it deepest floaw
so far
as we experience it
so hauntingly
disinclined to statement or de
finition
he says and this is on page 170 of mine
he says uh
he’s saying the theory of life
paints like a harlot
the charnel house within
with its own blank tongue
the policy of the universe a leper
glosses upon their eyes gazes himself a shroud
blind albino whale
people are buried to their necks
not to overdramatize
you’ve certainly thrown your life away
stare out the cigarette and smoke
i never showed that the window
i feel that we are creatures who can know
we’re nothing in the universe accept creatures
who can understand
and graduate it does not have my name written on it
motherfucker who’s totally gold.
But the ten percent shot you
out the door
But the ten percent you
shot out the door
when the light drug right
i drink whiskey in the am
the being is a big soft armour
i zipped you into me & you were
like on your period i was like
i like that and mark
zuckerberg likes that when he
like jerks off on his bed of money i think
of scrooge mcduck doing butterfly
strokes in his gold
i stroke in my gold
too
there are strokes of gold in my
ballhair like a wreathe
when i bereave a person i bereave in god
inside his golden scrotum
hair i know not names
of different kinds of hair i guess there
are coiffs there is the buzzcut there is the straight
-edge nazi cut which i always found very
ironic i mean not ironic so much as
appropriate a militant pacifist told me my
shoes are white on black crime
i was in the north side
plaza of granada getting high and this
guy’s like your shoes have white laces and your shoes have black leather
i said do you have other shoelaces
Other guy said like i am from nigeria
i used to drum here but now i have to peddle weed and by the way
do you want some weed took me to his apartment
there was a child there she had soft gold scrotum hair
i liked her i took my laces off i was ashamed
sometimes you do things you don’t know you do things
do on this ball?
the whole time soft zipped together in our
own link.
i drank ceremonial motor oil and killed a sheep took it
apart on the backyard pool table
Sudu threw the black bladder at his sister
i threw the black bladder at sudu
it wasn’t black and what is that
what type of show is that
there is a joke in me
there is tomato juice in that man’s coke can
i never believed you when you said i came out of my mom
came from where you came from
my leg doesn’t have a dick but i remember an orgasm there
it doesn’t matter whose
the whole matter unzips
turnips, there are a few days left of this man’s hair
i don’t know hairs’ names
i’m going to talk
magazines with kids and be like
fuck magazines it’s all about BOOK4.pdf BOOK5.pdf BOOK6.pdf
i didn’t much like BOOK7.psd
i don’t have flashbacks the present comes a little later
our next title’s dead horse
