Palmetto Gulch

The almost sand of Dan's ridge became
very quiet late at night. These things--grains--
have a way of coming back & haunting you,
or so I've heard. Have you? I think these
larks are faster than sharks & I (please do
not believe this) shudder now at her shadow,
the girl we've been discussing all along.

She's still there, you know, she has
been there all along. One of us, a
frightened hawk-moth shuddering
with dusty, palmed brilliance.
The other, again, the lark who's lost her way.

fires & fires & fires

Basket Poem

1. A force is felt

I made a basket for you.
I make it well; I weave the reeds soundly
without a sound, in the kitchen,
I cake for you a bake
a baked plot of hard clay (land, land)
this land, our non-intuitive landing pad
a green glassland of neighbor's and shores
nearly too sweet to fuck
to pluck out of, to be afraid
of. In this bone, and out of it,
license is greatness. Truth
is its own revenge. Salida,
a town in Colorado (adventure
incorporated, come the youth
proud) or Spanish for EXIT. Recalling
THIS IS NOT one, you know, not a place
for leaving. In other words, perversely,
or its opposite--naturally--a path
without a purpose. Fucked willingly
and without passion, white knuckles,
fear still tingeing the air with breath
and yet in the moment, a little death,
a little birth, an awakening, a dying,
a heartbeat jumping out of one's chest,
one's breadbasket, a sampling of only
the finest loaf. "Here, darling," we'd
like to say. "I've prepared a stove
for you." Somewhere to relax, something
to look toward--a process happening. Progress
with a capital P for pecuniary--something
that can be consumed. If you don't know now you never
will, but then again, life is asunder.
Torn thus, belittled, become April, become May,
become December, that's how a year ends. In
sloughs and buckets and jumps and contusions
maybe made accidentally with out speeches.
I slapped a girl early Saturday on the cheek,
softly. She was still surprised. A southerner,
exotic-like, a girl from the mud of the deep
south. Louisiana. Where my heart wanders when
it isn't always somewhere else. Never been there,
never will be, perhaps. I don't want to count idioms
before they hatch. Count on them recurring. Count on
me demurring--and in so doing, even with rebellion,
maybe I'm no better. A force is still a force if its
resisted and the action is maybe the same internally.
Felt. A force is felt regardless.

2. Out of all this comes

Out of all this comes the preparation
in so doing it, putting down words,
one word less always better--camps in the mind
perhaps throttling themselves & saying: well then, here's
another land mine to toss on your camera, here's
another wave about to crash at sea; here's a third
opinion on that matter we had discussed. You know,
Sally, I've been dreaming about you for some time now
and I'd like to know how you afford your retainer,
you know, the retainer ad hominem cum harbinger of
doom, this dirty little expression meaning / [a slash
mark, English's most violent banal punctuation.] Are
you listening? I'm the mark of a spark at midnight in the dark
of West Hollywood glistening like "Ohhhhhhhhhh..." cannabis
just coming a-blaze, a computer humming on, no nautical
parks this year, just another President to preside over
our ground master plan thus deranged thus ordinary thus
hope swollen thus swelled thus become derogatory and deregulated
like all good things, all greedy things: markets, bedrooms,
sex parties, and the like. They're all the same in the end,
green spun out lasses with axes to grind swinging at one
another, potions a-blur in the nightlight booming faults
like faulty magic imaginary geraniums and night-glow
corning cloning about borrowed holes from burrowing animals
and Hannibal just pooped again in the bathroom, I got my
goop to prove it, got this groove to arrange it and smooth it
and five forked words later I'll tell you how to spell the word
F-U-C-K and you won't like it.
As it has been arranged.

A lost child, Absurdists

Absurdists is a lost child. A boss
of hosts inglorious. Absurdists is a
treasure chest; don't look too close
at her vest--bulletproof; besides, (&
to the point) her mescaline buds are
sprouting.

Further the argument
is not what
we here do. Father.
Farther.

I do not want to replace
but I only a place to replace
ordinary reflections with real boys,
with real ones, real iron words
that strike at the heart of enemies,
make them cowards, then maybe,
make them friends.

Love transcends. How can we otherwise
explain? Anything?

Much of it I agree is bad, a waste of time.
Some of it is good. But isn't that just life?
Powders 22A-33C on faces of people we don't know
are forgotten, right? But the 9,875th girl you meet--
maybe she's the right one. The numbers game
is absurd--it means the best shall appear but when
it is given time. There cannot be too much censorship
or maybe any
if the best is to bloom. The numbers game. Maybe one in five
is worthwhile. Maybe 1/10. Maybe 1/20. Still worth it. The
real crime is the not sharing of it, if it is to be shared. If it is
worthwhile. What is this? Are we in a hole debating the nature
of the soil granules? Maybe. I just want to share
weird thoughts. I have given no effort to make Absurdists
a thing that fits in, that has traction. Is that its beauty?
Is that its angst? Its fetid irrelevant glory? Its fetid
irrelevant waste? Worthless?
Growth.

Recap: Caper

Just read through all Absurdists posts
since inception, more than 3 years ago.
Jones is noticeably missing, recently.

My reaction: There is an inordinate amount of good, some brilliance that transcends.
There are also many misfires, mostly on my part.
Absurdists, Inc. is a holography.

I laughed out loud several times, some more hearty than others (duh).
I didn't cry, that would be fucking weird.
I did try to psychoanalyze some of the recorded poetry, more so than the inane prose.
But quickly lost interest/realized that we are not all that deep.

Usually. There are meaningful posts on this blog. And I don't want to take away from that.

But most are frivolous, humorous. The best are both.
( e.g.: "The Holocaust is that holiday, right? 8 crazy nights?" Response: "Um, you might not want to repeat that.")

Not to say that the Holocaust is frivolous. I automatically hate all Germans solely because of it. But today I say Auf Wiedersehn to xenophobia. Not really.

That entirely imagined exchange above (in parentheses) and following clarification send no real message. They provide us with no moral. In this case, there isn't even any wordplay. "Pathetic," an outsider might say regarding the posts I've made over the years on this blog, "Shitty way to spend your time, despite the clever wordplay" Well, if you don't like it don't read it. Probably nobody else does. I have no interest in scratching anyone's back but my own, seriously. Even that is not something I like to do. Maybe Absurdists is just one of those hard-to-reach places and we haven't even scratched the surface. But I'd like to think this sort of shallow, crass memorandum on the state of affairs is representative of what the blog stands for: mescaline.

Terrible Arable

"the land/time continuum just ruptured again,"
said the wax man, seemingly unpurturbed.
"I think it's time we defibrillated the globometer."

"Ahrr, cobblestone flock garble. Garlic," replied his half-sister, Sahra.
After her accident with the gobstopper machine, Sahra had become a veritable Frankenstein.
"Sluck, sluckotash. Fifffty burgle-urgle," she continued.

Waximus Waxman the Third ("wax man") was at wit's end.
He decided that if anyone was going to therapose the fluid for the globometer it was he. The main obstacle was going to be distracting Sahra while the omnipresent, omniotic fluid was outside of its container.

The two began a rousing game of Xenotag, as Arthur Frapparelli watched intently from the balcister.

Not my kin

There are things 

you haven't said. []

There are words

we haven't used. []

Every 

day, the cinema's portholes expand,

a sea selling more widely -- a 

ship elongating imaginably.

Sure, 

If I wanted your pussy, I could say

that's it, right there, oh yeah, 

baby. 

Maybe 

it's time to admit that I've never been

more than a little bit impressed, 

meaning -- hey now, please don't 

believe me further than advisable --

it all comes down to a working man's 

pay. I have no interest 

in luxuries like you; 

they aren't 

my kin. 

Alive together

There are things that move
with certainty of darkness
under cover, under grime &
betrodden in bowels of cold
war water, grieved out pines
& the demarcation of what is
right & what couldn't be acc-
urately seen to be felt.
Yes, I have thought about the
rest of the world before and
I know that I will never be
a king. That's okay--I'm al-
ready a Main, all I ever need
is right here in my veins, &
we are here, alive together.

The Dirty Park / The First Boy

In the dirt park the boys would be at war with one another. In the mornings they'd awake and make each other lunch; usually tadpoles followed whatever could be dug out of the mud; perhaps cuttlefish.

Late-morning found them at the cinema, where they'd tug each other's heart strings and ask toward each other questions that were never -- and never will be -- answered.

At any rate, Raul was petrified. The evening meeting with the lizard was most unexpected; he wondered if he had done something wrong in the factory. Everything had been going so well! He had produced his alotted amount of sand this month; He was looking forward to attending the Aragon concert with his spider friends. Afterward he was to brunch at Charlie's (the castle, naturally).

When there weren't pebbles, there were unicorns; but only once in a while, as with the moon-melt, did the goblins begin their restive screeds. "Acorns aren't for eating," one would read, in the corner, angrily, but all the passers-by did not listen. They did not hear. They could not speak. There are no words for beginning. Anew.

Slits like spiders (think silk-road, Jack!)
are aghast bright-orange
& trumpets or containers of field
like the more rapaport
the morose apathetic crystal wear
sleeves of now-forgotten buzzers
and Kanamycin resistant bactoids
factoids and igneous white languid hues
Langston Hughes, revisited.

What are all these containers for?
I have already abandoned my feldspar
for something more sporting: a cleanly
knit wool garment that reminds me of
a sallow sloped out coroner, eating pasta
in his lower east side tenement.

Let's have a fuck party. I will bring the white teeth,
you the wine, her the cinema. CINEMA.

The cinema thieves

||| ---BRIGHT WHITE |||
   half-molested, cinema
thieves drabbled together like cobbled up
{mixed} where-do

HAIRS bright olfactory carpetting removed
like O-where do you fly, sprywar jackets or
day-glo limpid snooks. The black clackity
cracked bright cackles of jackals
and messed-out whitened stalefish.

The messed-out whitened stalefish
of that November eve
is what she remembered, what she remembered,
what she is a part of---------so like the snow
gloves she donned in handling her poor sparrow's
fetid remains.

Hands Off

1. Somebody Else Wrote This

"This is for my gray people, all night & day people,
burning black plants planet people, alien stars &
veggies creep-pole. I turn her hands around to face me
because I cut them off, they're still bleeding. This is
too much for me. I'm not a handyman. I'm just a
handsome man, donning chaps and Handsome Dan's
wristwatch--you know I stole it after I chopped his
brands off. Why do I write about slicing? Ouch these fluids
are sprightly, ozone can be something frightening
at lower altitudes on the nightly, not up high where
it does its job so... so brightly."

to there to another place where, quiet, with hands this time,
newly grown, no--they were here all along--this was a

and contracts looking like gross daytrippers snorting
headlines like clockwork orange & so forth.

all too often it is dog shit, scraped knees, and minor difficulties.
if one is trying to be funny, he/she should focus on the negative

if he/she is a he/she the negative will be apparent

what we wanted.

I grow like bitter salt in wounds--the pain thus mounted is what I'm saying, adjusting, always adjusting to the something that we run up against, like soles to the pavement, huh? How do you want me to kill you? This is a question that instead of answering I want to burn, along with everything, with the rain and trees and plants and birds and prisons melting like a gold sunset until, unicorns, with wings for once, settle down on this satellite plane, dusty and stray--and the desert turns into an ocean with a meteorite thus landing, exploding, calcium carbonate turned into bitter herb dust in the wind, toxic, toxic, fires worldwide, and the dinosaurs die, and the lizards shrink, and the Jurassic ends, and what have we been give. That isn't a question but a reason as to why I have laid four forks on the table and a dull knife and a gun and a cutlass.

Plants and People

There is a hot new wag on the street. Watch him wag
his tail like frail lettuce echoing some maintained,
glassed out, flossed out, drossed out doldrom
--WHAT i am saying is that we are people, after all,
people like drugs folded in a fat man's groin fat, hiding
from cameras but not dogs, no, they can sniff us out,
unless we have that stuff some smart Jews had in
Germany that made the dogs unable to smell--know
what I mean? It's not too soon to talk about the Holocaust.
Every time it's brought up everyone says
Whoa, now, this guy is coasting too far
off the track, into the woods, danger & fair warning,
like a sent of mildewed clothing or shit. Okay,
bad things happened. People kill each other. Sometimes
whole groups are killed for reasons as simple as
"Jewish." Can we explain this as any thing other than
a terrible human trait? People have done fucked up things
to each other. I'm reading Hiroshima. If you think what's
going on in Japan now is bad, read that. Another (was
there a first?) bad comparison. My point is people
are people are people are plants. Some of them
eat insects, they are evil, they make poisons that kill
us, plants are actually better than people because I don't
think they have consciences -- the ability to know and choose
to do good or evil -- although I could be wrong. But some of
them make poisons stronger than your mother's heart
and some of them make potions more sacred that a cow's Indian(a)
fart and some make love water so sweet you drink it (nectar)
and fall in love with cowardice. Marijuana is a stamp act so
tax it, we are people after all, people falling over people
falling down the stairs and out the window. There are fine
moments everyday. Keep your eyes open. Keep your hearts
strong. Your hearths open and stoked up and lit and
don't burn anyone that ain't trying to kill you. This is possible.
And only burn thorns, unless they are the thorns that protect.
Thistle was Scotland's oldest moat. And pain isn't fearless
nor is it sometimes quiet. (It is.)

Red hot chilly papers

Sentence containing the words "Odonata" and "nymphs"

"My alleyway is one for which the stars have spun, the blur limited, the gaze receding until, with a pause, for one, these limitless caches are themselves emptied, and every empty burr or facile facade put up without a trace of emotion is wrenched down, down from the tepid dead surroundings it inhabited and brought out for the living, the living stomping stepping steaming squealing squirming wriggling crawling tinkling masses, masses like insects with dead livers and absconded lovers and missed appointments and slaved out lost glad combs, arresting development like dead-head syndrome personified and a man-dew, all missing appointed incisors and devoid of certain sediments of loss and gadfly, the stewy pond bottom from which these Odonata nymphs shall finally emerge, victorious."

Idea: "Science artist." This bleak dumbblind fledgling carefully interviews scientific scholars day and night (he really believes our is the age of the obsessive). He then constructs meta-narratives and beautiful rendered dioramas, sculptures and "paintings" about the research. Often they are adorned with feathers. They are sometimes quite something. However, this piebald mare gets paid nothing for his labors. "Quid pro quo," he likes to say, laughing. One day this luck-star magnate will fall on his ass, get up, and keep walking. Nothing may have changed.

(In a thick Texas accent)
I need more spice in my life, literally and figuratively, so I moved my ass from a small town 50 mile outside Laredo to San Antonio, Texas. It was the best move I ever made in my whole life! Now I eat chile con carne for breakfast, lunch and dinner and supplement my diet with all sorts of exotic spices! Chiles, pablano peppers, and Mexican bananas.

The other mornin I was eating tortillas and drinkin coffee when this beautiful young thing walked down the alleyway toward me. She was blond as a spring sunrise and had the tits to knock you out of a tree if you were looking down. I got so excited I accidentally knocked over a can of Quaker State I had been gettin' ready to oil down my bike with. the oil oozed out as only sweet Texas crude could. I had thoughts about her privates, maybe. I looked at her and said, "Hey, you really bowl me over, honey."

"Every moment of one’s existence one is growing into more or retreating into less. One is always living a little more or dying a little bit."
— Norman Mailer


Ian Parry, a senior fellow at Resources for the Future. His calculations -- plus some data from other sources and studies -- suggest that adding all the quantifiable costs into the price of oil would increase the cost of each gallon by about $1.65


I have only earnestness in my heart, I think. But it's not completely true. Or, it's not even close to being true. That was the shittiest assignment I've turned in in some time. Really not good at all.

Strikes a Chord

How's it feel to be home? Just wondering,
I miss it.

How's it feel to be a man? Just wondering,
because I am that, also. How's it feel

to escape the walls of the prison? Just like
this, knife in hand. I've had lesser pigeons
(meaning seen them, in my eyes)
flying here or flying there. You cannot count
on the priests to save you. They could not
have; they may have tried.

You can only save yourself. Doesn't mean
you can't help. Thus the contradiction. You
can actually save others. I'm speaking in
tongues. One side: serpent. That's right,
parsel-mouths. Fax it to the west and mail
it to the East. The least of these. Arabia.
Other side: Exotic camera club. Meeting

Snazius Beehive was all, "Pollen, it's fuckin' great!" and Aphid1 was all, "We're aphids, playerzzzzz!" After the show there was some really snarky behavior. Aphid Twinz!!!!

Coptic Forests

I take back everything I've every said.
It will all be forgotten
...don't say, "anyway." Too late.

The cops said, "any day." Like he
meant it; like the coptic forests of Ethiopia
hide insects inside the hay.

Too explanatory. Coptic forests.
Leave it there.

Erowid Vaults (I have business)

I've heard there's this site called Erowid
the vaults thereof. You heard of it? Some-
times when I'm all "searching out psyche-
(e)-delics" I get all Delphic like: Inspect our
cinema? I mean camera, I mean column
this taking a picture of that? Too common.
Like blinks of light in the wan moon. Forty
iron gagged bound thieves and an iron.
Delphic columns supported majesty
and I have no business casting dispersions.

gray plus gray equals grape

negative energy
does not exist
you see

when allegro is heated
and snakeskins drops wayside
the actual serpents can atone.

hey, friend! women be shopping.
the one thing we have in common.
brute blue gray shorts and a pistol;

i get it; you're a grass snake.
i would arm myself too if
first i had no arms and second

i lingered in lawns of would
them that would have me; a serpent.
cannot imagine the perps of that

the lame rigid semi-formed ledgered
out sons-of-bitches on the mend.
this isn't childhood.

Chocolate House

My uncle lives in a chocolate house
with three cats and four gingerbread men
so at least he has someone to talk to
