according to a Pentagon
to insert ourselves

you are entitled to
sway the contest to lead
even though the measure
ruled that troubled modernization
to step up efforts to persuade
like driving and eating while asleep
on a popular refrigerant

Americans have embraced surprises
searchers players raptors
who came from nowhere
into not so big of an event
that edges dangerously

With Less Support

a single Repulican
could face headwinds
this drastic

dirty tactics
infuriated Cuba and Venezuela

for travel in Iraq
peek into the troubles
vindicated by history

complex love-hate relationships
continued to outpace cellphones
as the next great battleground

a hard-earned day off
and a temple of high art
in logical stately order
took a useful turn
as we talk about Africa

prevent another nightmare

HOBNOBBING WITH THE PANTHEON
one of the great spritual buildings of the world
rusty fool in his sacrosanctum
roman temple later consecrated as a catholic church
lost the happy moment when plunger was patient
its monumental porch originally faced a rectangular
acronym of molebind field to hang inside
colonnaded temple courtyard
fear nagged and scratched credits
and now enfronts the smaller Piazza della Rotonda
the thing remembered queer certainty
one enters one great circular room
former semi-consciousness to make connection
natural light enters through an unglazed oculus at the center of the dome
piling to float into panic
illuminate the walls and floors of porphyry, granite and yellow marbles
yammering loudly might be last chance
attributing the construction to Agrippa
meeting-on no choice slammed down rousing cheer
hidden voids and the interior recesses hollow out this construction
musicality of time pressure for reasons of energy
so that it works less as a solid mass
decorated with scrolls and temporal stasis reappeared
which correspond to the three tiers of relieving arches
anything to get pills to spit bitter taste

Just want to say that I attacked nettime-l; it's been going on
for a few days now. If you want, you can find them on the archives. For
myself, I'm fucking able to pull out of it, but then that comes with
cross-posting.

Meanwhile if you can lookout, they might interest you in relation to the
