Two Interweaving Pieces by Maria Damon and Alan Sondheim Because its raining here in the park, clearly already its time to go again? Im already out of breath from our last time. Jumping around like this. Juniper a lovely It st the best way to be! word a strange scent a stranger taste. Unless glissando is the only way to go, everything in music jumps, jump-time With resolute fortitude marching forward carrying the flags of utter catastrophe! Isnt this the worst way to proceed? Ungoingly failing, unfailingly going where no one else wants to go. I think thats the way to go, years and years ago in highschool was dancing With PT and I was an idiot, swinging her around and then decided to see What would happen if I let go It is too jumpy. It is dizzying. It is distasteful. It was distasteful, Ive never looked back. Why am i here, among all these fabric sequences? Nothing does what it is supposed to do. And it jumps around a lot. Its too jumpy, isnt it? Perhaps it wouldnt be if we used periods to Indicate pausing in our life, our fortitude, our embankments What would happen if i lost use of my fingertips? I would find a way to write with my tongue. The tingling. The Red Flag of Marching to the Same Drummer! Its too tingly, it doesnt fit the paradigm. Or two dimes and a nickel, a quarter of the way there Its hard to type with your name on a little magenta flag sailing down the river of the page Youre gaining on me but not growing on me! The drummer is dumber. Than what, you ask? No, i didnt ask. A catastrophe has befallen the Stooges community. My work has been thrown away. Magenta is a color I do not understand Magenta flags are magnetic, gathering multitudes into their husky hands. Your busky fingertips are getting in my way. Im busking across the stage of the screen of the page. I pause, I take a turn. Im back on the dancefloor. Im listening to Terry Allen over and Over again, TA saved my life __ I'm at a loss, what does this mean? Blank with Alan THE CONSTITUTION OF EGRESS What is a blank? What exists before it disappears? When I was a yellow tadpole in the bottom of a bathtub I nearly drowned, my savior Appeared in the form of a kind person who lifted me into the wellsprings of life itself. I lost the meaning. Blank is a state of expectation what has already disappeared? What was born to disappear by weather forces, the wind and rain, what appeared, only from exhaustion? Too spent to regard anything as serious In this world, seriousness is held in Low esteem, better to cover everything: better the covert? Where we there? Better the convict, better the convert. Don't predict me! Why is the ground wet, from what? What is that liquid? From whom? Where? Why? Tears liquid fire - does fire tear tears apart? What sunders is asunder O remembering What the Thunder said: nothing, the roar drowning the semblance of speech from The tracks carrying semantics down the hill of nonsensical peregrination Wherever the part of speech is indeterminate I undo myself in the tunnel to be Described, I am undone. To be undone:? Is one ever done in the first place? Done on the dune by a dunce. And by an idiot. And by a nitwit. All wit disappears down a swirling funnel which is a vertical tunnel. Where we there? In the culvert, nothing. In the tunnel, less. A funnel appears as if theres ingress / egress A tunnel would be a comfort in the last rain of the universe. A tunnel like a hollow trunk that cradles homeless vagrants from elemental wrath of the apocalypse Tunnel vision gives the lie to that < exists in emptiness > disappears In this room: the sound of machines, that is all. Footsteps above, as if there were Something. I keep thinking of Russia, rushing into the cranium, the crevice, the crevasse, an eternal abyss. / is the abyss a punctum as well, is it a moment-monument of inconceivable Weight, density? This machine, this typing machine, insists on capitalization. There is no proper correction. It is only a violation. Were we there? It wasn't a lie, it was a line. It wasnt a linen, it was a lichen. The congressional egress is the only safe way out. Capitalization is a lie produced by Reification, the cathedral of the unique or overarching power. Way out people know the way out. Way out people leave, are left, disappear to Dis appear: to annihilate or criticize appearance? Lichen know that in every conceivable Form a disappearance of substance, a melting away, a smelting, a soldering, a soldiery. What the tears said we're on fire! We carve our names into the landscape like larvae. We carve our names into dying trees, bark without a byte not a moment for digital, but Crypto uses more electricity than most countries i cant name - Were we there? We crave a bit of anonymity in the welter of our flame. The flame burns our anonymity. Were craven in the face of our moral abyss which is not bliss. The edifice of money worship, an architecture to be invaded. Tear the limbs from the money trees, melt them into elastic words.: were we there? __ _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@lists.netbehaviour.org https://lists.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
