Plopping incest


plopping I was snapping I was clouding I
was breeding I was using I was
filming I was mileing I was reeking
I was boring I was flaking I was

dumped a corn

stun fog rant cake your solder
dump breathing clamor business
clot beneath the bush yr flitness
rathered like a stroke of stuck

mooned a storm

washing like a palimpsest a dribbly 
you could spend .or crashing like a
nest a hilly glue you bend the
faucet like a crashing wall incest

FLUXLIST: Bloodless smelt

2005-11-07 Thread John M. Bennett



Bloodless smelt


bloodless sample off why face
cuter shutter pry lung shorts
beefy hose flag dry waste
dumpster couch leg fly worts

jug and shot

pork I spackled like your cuke
or washed my dimwit cupcake
lozenge sticking to my chin
was that the closet jiggling?

soup and slug

rut and towel meat and pingpong
jakes and flow damp and meter
thunder and finger chock and sot
flack and bandaid drug and smelt

Never one to be able to withstand peer pressure, I too will scribble for the 
cause.  

And what's all this about a mouldering badger?!  Probably a member of my 
family

An Historical Atlas of Fluxlist



Fluxlist has effectively evolved into a small community, an example of the 
'global village' at its most, well villagy (sp?).  Village elders and village 
idiots, friends and vague acquaintances, over the back fence chatters, curtain 
twitchers, the odd recluse and a whole host of folks who just go about their 
daily business, minding their own and showing up at the odd parish meeting to 
put their two pennerth in.  On occasion itinerant travellers wander through 
offering wares varying from the delightful to the downright dubious. Sometimes 
the circus turns up and erects its big-top in the carpark, sometimes hooligans 
from neighbouring villages show up and cause fights in the pub.  People pass 
away and are mourned, people get married, have babies and their neighbours 
raise their glasses in acknowledgement.  Sometimes new villagers turn up out 
of the blue and others up sticks and move away to the city.

The strange thing is that most of the villagers live thousands of miles away 
from each other, many have never met any of the others, some have met but a 
handful, many can not put a face to the name and most a probably quite unaware 
of the existence of some of the remainder.



The idea is this:

To construct an historical and geographical atlas of fluxlist, past and 
present.

Each current member of Fluxlist is invited to write about another - a 
biographical piece placing that person geographically, historically and 
contextually into the story of Fluxlist.



These biographical pieces may be based on truth or complete fantasy.  Pieces 
may vary in length, there being no maximum or minimum enforced and may be 
written in any language deemed appropriate by the author.  Anecdotes and 
stories of bravery, stupidity or particularly successful dinner parties, 
artworks and animals, music and missing weekends.  When and how they joined 
Fluxlist, motives and mysterious sudden disappearances.  Notable contributions 
to Fluxlist, faux pas and folly.  Place of birth, date of birth, date of first 
date and outcome.  Famous/noted/ignored for...  Place of abode, distance 
travelled by bicycle, bravelled by tricycle and amount of interest in % of 
learning to unicycle.

Information on place of abode, including address, city, state, country etc.

Participants may produce as many 'biographies' as they wish.





Or you could write something completely different.



The aim is document Fluxlist to date, to produce something which records 
Fluxlist membership at various levels, not just names but information about 
the person, a short biography (as stated) and information about their 
geographical location (and their location in time if you so wish).



Entries may be duplicated.  In fact duplicate entries, especially about 
'active' members, are to be encouraged thus building up a broader view of the 
individual.  



Eventually the biographies will be used to build up a 'map' of Fluxlist.



The aim is to publish this 'atlas', eventually, as an actual book if costs are 
not too prohibitive, and in digital format (PDF and HTML)



Those interested in contributing are kindly requested to let me know within 
the next week or so.



Thanks



Alan
