Tumble Fade Jut

clinging to the bat
and the fruit kit hung on a hook
to mimic the honeysuckle
bunks rapped to a bundle
we fit up over the bridge
where the streamers come furling out
from the leavers, hand hat label thropping
and being so close to its instrument
beguiles
in the cold hollow moon
its crisp circle mourns
its mouth to perform
for the ricochet renegade vivitone
victims
they stay
through gusting
onslaught angularizing to the slit-eyed
unification of what
recording the island of milk
its babylon central garden to act like a wreck
the stage come bubbling up from the waves
and loud the fluted forehead raves
organ incomprehensible
in mammoth torque
their unborn holy stories
fireflies in the pine mist
roe
coal buried long to antelope followers
metal
burning immortal
cotton and bitter
sea mother another
close knit stalking
the dark its empty hungry goad
scale
and push
the order
rut star wrong and equal

The Scuba Coach: I have breathed enough clean air over the centuries to know when I am being poisoned. The mass, and the masses of thinking atmosphere which are in turbulence here have turned, and the prevailing system, the system of the very air we breathe, the air that our buildings breathe, and that our bodies inhabit, is one of Dämmerzustände. It is no longer an armor of egotism which is needed, but rather a memic wetsuit, rendering its wearer invisible to the zombi ideologues, so that the juggernaut of moleculairity can be approached with the necessary and subtle attention needed to comprehend its all pervading background complexity. The stupidities of the memic wars have made it necessary for the Scubans to create their own pure air whose only model can be primality, and to sea the world as a tourbulens of chemical organization, a lung lens whose light reveals all blindness, weather in a dark cloud. The present uniquely defines precipitation, but the weather cults are chanting and stamping their feet. Our equipment is sound, we withdraw from the sleepers in their feral toil. In 2012, the 'bio-anneal' phase begins. (Buy Oneill.) Protect your tanks!

2 Poems Maurice Burford

I thought this was a wonderful couple of poems from Maurice B. on seemingly Grailish themes.
Thanks for letting me post them MB.



Galahad

try to burn
lots of barns
said Whitman
who was pure
in a foolish sense
trying to save anyone
the grail was dead
invented green knight
who was dead
in the womb too
but his flesh fell into
the grail & a flashlight
brought him back
singing a classic song
of film & televisual repute
nervous over the war
nervous over his glasses
nervous over the cup
the fool too
drinks hard liquor
of story
to make all the dead
stay under
elm tree range
no human
is so distinct
except when dreaming
& the fool not fooled by fog
of lost land coming out
no sex in the cup
just as the land
is the story of the body
the grail thinks
no one fucks
the grail thinks
I am there past the moon
as common as misplaced
no better for it
damp with pumpkin sweat
don’t worry about the weather
folks will only estimate  



Merlin

go to jail
with the dollars
of your body
naked but not moved
police-man headed
magic hangs better
in the spirit
caught & died
into it
the spokes of
the fool
at least Merlin
bedded the river
like a mannequin
crackle of tape
stretched over tar
forms our radio’s
hide
the future we
have come to
is the flag
dipped in grail
the people
disengage
from their loins
let the sand of
the ocean hover
insert oneself
into the chill
of the ocean
a prison
a jail
for political ghosts
we are
the enemy
of ghost grails
so hit the road
hit the lady
with the sword
for no end

The Ambassador

I cannot recommend this film high enough. Complete fun, and with a happy ending! Sorry! (spoiler).

We, The Grotesque Nihilists of the Earth Need No Platform But the Soil. We are the Skeletons in Every Closet.

Gibbeted on the horn of plenty,
its gibberose gibberish
glibly gibboning in Gibbonian
gibe; knowledge might change
masks with the jibby-horse,
but they both sallied forth
from the same phanfatuous
molecufaucal fun-fountain mountain,
that gimcrack quantum nous-mooning
of the gilt-tail silly, international,
silver string submarine band
of rascally poly-gemew, but
who knew?

We, here in the Fauberg remains,
still loft our fat-witted fauch-lips
into whatever truncheons joy has
leavened, and moreover, through
our phane fauces give solace,
or fanfarrado, to every avocado,
to fanfreluche it on its sway,
for the earth is teeming with nonesuch,
and as such, all obey
the phallophoric Hellenism
of Syntaxis' slender fanatical singer
whose fingers fend the gimbri,
and gawp the yutang's
juniper loa.

Every beast is fanged by something,
and the feast of the world is closing
its mouth around us all, and thought
be its rickety killogy, a stoa hung
in Cimmerian vacuum.

Axial tomography hassles a wetsuit.

I am very happy

to offer now this subscript to my small text on Grotesque Nihilism, and would like to count Roger Caillois as a progenitor in the naming, identification, and clarification of syntaxis. Notice here Caillois' concept of an instinct d'abandon , and his inertia of the elan vital, both of which I would say go a long way towards materializing a positive link both with syntaxis, and as the author of the introduction states, between Caillois and the more more generally known German Romantic Naturphilosophie, which I would go further and claim as part of the atmosphere regulating the entry of Uexkull's theory of the Umwelt, and the subsequent discipline of Biosemiotics.

Caillois points exactly to the crossroads of syntaxis as a historico-materialist conception when he correctly identifies both structure and reason as phantasmatic processes. Syntaxis pays homage to his use of the praying mantis metaphor, and to his work Mimicry and Legendary Psychaesthenia which processes biosemiosis as a constructionism based in ornamental delirium, a luxurious horror vacui, and blurry plurimpopotent polyplenism.. And most interestingly gives us a possible theory of art as teleplasty!

I recommend Roger Caillois into the Canon of Grotesque Nihilism! And Jeannine Worms as well,
but I am not familiar with her!

Ode to a Fu Manchu Choo-Choo

After the rape of Nanking
there were the first curling ringlets
of the Firestone chain; All
of Prometheus' organs
have been replaced
with high durometer
urethane; slave
biscuits come each
on Caligula's snowy shoulders.

Let them be as
bulbous luminous
harmonica hives
brimming with
Tosa mastiffs, let
television be known as
creampie, for many
slovenly figures
all go in one hole.

Tomorrow,
in the cascading
know thyself
M = (Ind, World, [.])
where Ind is the non-empty
set of individuals, World
is a non-empty set of
possible worlds, and
[.] is an interpretation
function such that

Long Fu Manchu mustaches
dangling from locomotives
are seen to be as
mandarin sleeves
fluttering, empty,
and ghost-like.

Consider this,
that the Pythia
always took
as her perfect fashion,
an ancient togaic precursor
to the common hoodie,

But Hoodia, will not be
the San people's
Indian gaming casino.

Hoodia
is not the common pygmy's
Pepi II, let this be an ode
to a Fu Manchu Choo-Choo,
and armless our peoples are one,
before the eternal gaze
of Aten, whose

Bungee nipple cords
dangle vast ganglionic
idoneities of fish-scaled
baboon postulate
Potamogeton, their
megaton squirming
uninvidious to the
shining Serenissima,
who reveled more
in their style, than
in their content, and
in their art, more than
their twin, purple-assed,
foetus-golem enema bag,
yoghurt hottub nipple,
civilizations.

epilogue:

Pygmy in a hoodie
painting plein air
in a gondola
a row of hairless
baboon vaginas
for the windows
of Saint Mark's
Basilica, which he
has depicted
'as a golden cheese'
surrounded by
tiny Canaletto mice
conversing discretely,
their long Fu Manchu
mustaches dragging
the Panglossian piazza
in a gracefully static
peripateticism.

Something from Lee Lozano's journal:

"Information is content. Content is fiction."
-- Lee Lozano, July 1971

Something about the power of individual words to frame the field of the subject leads me to thinking about the relationship between nihilism and the grotesque under the possible rubrics of something like 'negative transcendence'. Now this isn't too far from Adorno's 'negative dialectics' as far as I can see, or it at least seems related in a sense:

Adorno says the book aims to complete what he considered his lifelong task as a philosopher: “to use the strength of the [epistemic] subject to break through the deception [Trug] of constitutive subjectivity” (ND xx).

As Simon Jarvis demonstrates, Negative Dialectics tries to formulate a “philosophical materialism” that is historical and critical but not dogmatic. Alternatively, one can describe the book as a “metacritique” of idealist philosophy, especially of the philosophy of Kant and Hegel (Jarvis 1998, 148–74; O'Connor 2004).

Now looking at it all again, I have to say, in terms of 'Trug', it would do one well to consider Bruno Latour's 'Practical Metaphysics', so in that sense, the grotesque would then be that state of affairs in which trugness lends to human matter its flavor of 'socratic irony', but to push the thing further, the so-called 'strength of the [epistemic] subject' would be something like the equation 'as one approaches infinity', so that the understanding of the singularity is absolutely confounded by uniqueness, by the infinitesimality of reality, but further, of a break with the logic of language's social continuity as ruled order, and an entrance into language as constructionism, or an infinitesimalleability which seems completely compossible with neurophysiological combinatorics, ie plasticity as the reverse-engineered ur-form of culture as subjectivity.

Most often in discussions of the so called 'technological singularity', there is a sense of a process gone awry, of an unnaturalness leading to a critical, or qualitative urgency, when life itself bears the mark of this same contingency.

I would therefore contend that a new movement could be founded called Grotesque Nihilism, and that actor-theory vis a vis practical metaphysics can be better explained as syntaxis, the materioconceptual impetus of being's 'indexical moment', for history turns on such moments. Syntaxis is the primary execution of the constructionist present as event. All willed events have, as least as a component, some motor of syntaxis, though materiality itself intervenes, and most importantly, syntaxis is a cognate to materiality itself.

Or maybe this is just a drawing of a cock in your mouth, or a burning turtle named
Zeno. Content is friction.

Agnes Schreiben (Free Updates)

Agnes is on fire. [अग्नि]

Her ignition was caused, possibly,
by her own ignorance, or barring that,
a slight design or manufacturing flaw
in the instrument which now lay
near to her tortured writhing form.

In Agnes' will, there is intended a scorn,
or reproach, for some of those people
in Agnes' life, who Agnes did not feel
treated her as she should have been treated.
And so they will know.

Agnes burns still, and the fuel for her burning
is her clothing, which she cannot now remove,
as its elaboration is great.

In its great elaboration, the clothing Agnes is wearing,
combined with her own ignorance, or barring that,
a slight, yet dangerous design or manufacturing flaw,
allows the fire to feast at will on her form now fallen.

Agnes has fallen. In her will there is intended a scorn,
or reproach, for some of those people in Agnes' life,
who Agnes' felt "were not right". And so they will know.

But they will not burn. Not unless they use an identical
piece of equipment, in that specifically incorrect way
in which Agnes' used the equipment, or unless they are
as specifically ignorant as Agnes was, about the operation,
in general of the equipment. If then they do, not only
will they burn as Agnes' did, but they will burn
as the proximal object of Agnes' scorn.

Agnes' last words were primal. Recorded by no one,
except her own incrementally heating brain, the word(s)
were exceptionally, and remarkably expressive of the event
which caused the word(s) to be uttered. In short, her final,
and primal word(s), though, while being something
of a cliche' due to a certain well known painting, were
in fact, well-written, if indeed the possibility of writing
them were possible, which patently it was not.

The painting's title is Der Schrei der Natur.
And so they will know. [AGNC]

Jim Ded In Grub Street

sulphurious veneriated and
redshare irony appealed
to the anal hack
trudging again down
Grub Street
beck and fleet
to the page's overflung
and hobbled wrought
what wrung out junks
are lingering the harbor
today he thought
some still teary with
the fight of its incline
dromos, the Sisyphus stone
is the omphalos mobil'd

again sulphurious veneriated
and redshare irony, arceniall
to deign the clue and his shoe
holes down to wooden cleats
the feat of any original bridge
to join where the living masses
spend, and he spit as he spoke it,
sp'end, and surely the domain
of the endless chasm of night
to depart by candlelight in a balloon
whose thought left all calibration
aside, the theatre whose run rod
body lifted the air to a carbuncle's
peace would fit out any grabbing
surely, here, here in Grub Street,
the shooting gallery, and the target
sign, to will, he signed, and resignedly
fumbled forth, shot with chagrin
and the charging bull of its listless feign

stain the burn to the eye
and dry out the bosom
to its wretches
and the smallish
cloud worm hold still
to the window in the mill
where the churning
of the grain is flowing

buttle it skort
and there was his friend
Jim Ded look pert in rags
and with leaves pinned to his cheeks
girl head crossed out with lickerish punts
say Jim howse biz
he took out a brown pot
writing down into the interior
and there at the bottom was a sea urchin
he'd stained pink with powder
and put a glass eye in its bung hole
THERE scowled Jim
ITS DED I chuckled at it
him her the spiny raft its seeing bell
well how about a cuppa, I crooned
he discretely set down his monster
and followed

of all the dry gulches Jim spent
I know I looked
well then and then Gulls traipses
wheres they traipses
and we bend in

I wuz looking down across the river
at a tire and Jim looked dead
there was a spider peering from
behind his ear where he hadn't washed
but suddenly a clang
and down at the far end of the distant darks
where the ships shunted bunts and billies
a huge BANG
and a pink rowing smoke went clavilly
Jim pulled out his pukebutch and scratcher
and went to the whey creeding out the curds
like patsy haul your tongue to the governour
and still another bright tang dull of clobber
bounded out and a thick stroke of lightning
licked some drab monolith

the central rape
before its vermin hands
and on the plains of trash
the vermin government marched
toward the singing
of the rape
and the trash remained
and in its eyes like burning stars
warmth steeled in a vacuum
before the unlikely scurrying
rape scampered in the trash
where the vermin government
washed its filth and tokens
and the headless mindless broken toys
hovered like a blossom
and the singing trash took its hyoid bone
and slashed
before the unlikely scurrying
and the slash remained

of the inflatable dam

leaves floating tenderly
above their pupils
magnetically seasoned
veins seeking venerable echo
each branching polarity
to hide the vision
of the immaculatent skinned
dam

and sucker mouths festoon
where the high water garlanded
their skeletons
like locusts of love
having left their kind husks
as memories
the sky in fetching ale

otters cradling skinless melons
kissing baby heads like snow
our paddles
heavy transparent glass

and our tears
were obsidian arrow heads

Ronnie Ronnie, She-Panther...

Oh yes, it is a little odd I guess, but they treat us very well on the whole, and even a little better than the natural borns in certain circumstances; we are taken care of. And if you like the work, and it is simple by design, then, it isn't a bad life at all. For instance, and maybe it was the whole clade of us Ronald Reagan clones, maybe 500 of us, and we were on a paid vacation, doing only a little classroom work in the countryside, and they took us to one of the new holo-enormitron sculptural cinema reconstructions, the Japanese called them Roboto Bigshow, and I have no idea how it's made, you see, maybe a hologram pattern can be addressed and nanobots dynamically fill in, something like that, anyway. you sit out in the film. Well, we had gone to see Akira Kurosawa's Drunken Angel, a film I wasn't at all familiar with, but we were told that Ronald Reagan loved the work especially, and had met Kurosawa, but none of us remembered that, and we were Ronald Reagan, but the movie was wonderful. I totally recall liking Shizuko Kasagi's song where she growls I'm a she-panther, waoooow.. Like that. That just really got into my spine, my goodness. Well, the thinking goes, we're supposed to teach ironically, by being who we were cloned from, but we're people too, so it's easy enough to read a wiki and get the history of the thing. I guess we could've done better by the Japanese, that bombing thing, but that's almost 400 years ago now. We're all in wonder at this point, sitting in the hairline of a 350 ft tall Toshiro Mifune robo-holo watching Shizuko Kasagi sing. That's what I'll take home! And the faces of all the bright country children when we teach them about the horrors of alcohol and drug addiction, and about the terrible times of the past, and how tragedy can sometimes build a happy future anyway, or what we all now call strange growth process. It all just makes a Ronnie proud... I am a she-panther! Still can't get that out of my mind... The Nancys enjoyed that too!

in many copies or attempts
that no ideal be expressed

by the small of its back country
paradigm
caring that every limb must thread
through the central sucking hole
toward mystery unbound
and chain Prometheus ' eye

where flowing kyes the ease
a slang of riddlers like fleas
harangue the boning

sublime mischance
its volpone prancing tongue
will touch where the pouch
in its rust and geld
and boiled in fevers give
a clasp of curdled mirrors
and reflect each surface
has a multiple view
and absorbs you into
the circle with Petalocerous

every head is serious and silver
in the comely baking brake
that green oven's cool and open nacre
bending slender to the feign

and to the grain of its head

so that the holes
