Isaac Don't Write

After
Why would I want more time to write? Writing is only the recording of rainfall, a recreation of precipitation assembled from memories. A copy of a copy. Displayed impressions of marks made in the mud, & when the basin runs dry, writing is wringing. No, at moments like those, the writing isn't worth doing. Writing isn't it.
Because even though writing stands guard over it, writing is still standing in front of it, blocking your view of it, & you have to peer around it, come at it from different angles while walking sideways away from it, to even be aware of it, it, it that is found within fissures, inside slants, between raindrops. The only way to find it is to look the other way. If you want to ask for directions, you can't just ask how to get there, you have to ask for the way to somewhere else. I'm driving around for hours without any sense of direction but it's only when I forget where I'm wanting to go that I pull up at Serendip.

I am an old person

The Mona Lisa is a statue

Louie Armstrong is Jewish

Steve Martin is a black man

Yes, scatter your categories

We feel this will be helpful

& allow all things to move more freely

without bias, as per their true nature

Mistakes Will Be Made (by me)

In the service of something smaller

In the hopes that it becomes larger

The Call of Glam!

In the absence of something to say, I paint my face

"The Addition of Layers," that may yet be removed

The elevation of form over content: content, buried under form

—pressed beneath strata of caked paint—

A true loosed; codified from cut & pasted lies

You may well be something that has never/can never exist

Ahistorical. Perpendicular?

fossil collages (Through the Boneyard Roamed)

of of of dinosaurs of of of dominoes of of of dada of of of dying i paint my face...in the absence...of something...to say

(Hope I) GetYoung (Before I) GetOld

I am a youngperson
nothing interesting has ever happened to me
& nothing ever will
but eventually
enough nothing will have happened
to distance me
from all of the other
youngpeople 
and i will be
old

Blueprint

Spontaneous arcaded corridors sweep ships of cerebral oarsmen along neuronal oceans of serotonin, synaptic tourists tugged through passageways of folded pages

An attic’s attacks, shriek-strokes of blackest bats, blots shattering silver canvas of anti-silence; grey matter

Dumbwaiter runs from succumbing to slumber, pulley tugged steeper as sleeper sleeps deeper

Padded cells, numb pillows of softest subconscious

Not-solid cement poured for floor

An abyss is a basement

Furnace thrum

I live here
