TERRA PLANE BLUES

Mine shoots floating signifiers. What does yours shoot?

Always keep a bigger sign in reserve, is the rule of "Absolute Criticism".

I have not eaten out my heart yet, but I am in the process

of discovering the barrel-chest image.

It is always so refreshing to a see a blue sign which reads

RED.

I don't think you quite grasped the full portent of my statement, but as far as that goes,

neither did I, or We.

Snuffleupagus

I'm making Gallipoli gallium? Will you meet my bread in the picture plain darling.

It takes a ribbing to make a nation note.

Flowers offer the most prominent Phatic reduction of sentiment versus structure.

If only human genitals didn't smell so much like language.

I am the power, the way.

I am the floating signifier of today,

and yesterday,

goddamnit, DODONA!

in the hushed blue shag of our knowing,

in the Me-Me Mr. Oscar Snuffleupagus 

of universal junk, there is that tacit acceptance

you often reek, seek, there, there,

OPEN SESAMUY STREET

Upon this grotesesque table

I lay my solemn cake

against the architects of the red labyrinth of sentences,

a lone period skulks into meaning

reality

ever jaunty

is best

when like a trot

a buggy

or a hat

BLACK IRON (red hair)

when the dress comes off

It's the Old West as Oriental Decadence

These mandarin herds

These erstwile letters

to dim mavericks

these portraits

of portraiture

When angels topple fetish dolls of smoldering tobacco

in crisp blue cotton swagger

You Modernish grid

whowitch HOW houses various relations

to consciousness

and its opposite

Brigadoon Flea Market That Way!

Something more eloquent about close reading, it reveals more than just a contour of possibilities,

but the whole shape of reality,

taken in a certain candor

BEELZEBUB

Surrealism alone

with its dead child's

skeleton:

light

I beg your pardon Madame.

I'm thinking of parsley grown on vague promises

to nude teenage girls

in leather.

Richard Prince is not my real name, but it's 

what I write about

in JOHNS.

The Formal Composition of Content

reigns

contented.

Dig the thick hole I've dug, dig?

More than ever, Braniff.

More than ever, Pan-American.

More than ever, denial

and tedium (joy).

O you get to be the blurry one in Canaletto again, Okay?

Being is bliss. Art is stupid.

I want flaming extra brain meat like hamburger mouse ear spheres.

I used a RC copter to kill.

I like Johnny Depp.

FROM THE DEPTHS OF JOHNNY

fat man

little boy

kangaroo with a mushroom cloud

in its pouch.

Everyone knows what blood money is, but most people have never investigated its ravishing beauty.

Docking fees apply: Language makes boats happen!

This is a metaphor: The prisoners are the 'gnostic subject' and the light-fixture is Earth or language or something. You decide, or just make it up.

Nobody cares anyway.

This could have been an award-winning photograph if only the patch

was made of unlevin'd bred.

Do you see that question in her eyes?

Are you Turkish or Israeli? Am I Greek or Trojan? 

I am the last of Edomites.

I am the last of the Elamites.

I am the last of the Floating Signifiers.

Hide your copula under your hat (rhetorical).

A blind man takes down a deafy in 3 heats.

(special note on language)

Now we've moved Venice out here into the countryside.

Less Gangsters, but more disease.

Jimmy Cagney is my Jesus of Nasalthrone.

Big Gopher bangs the testicle drums.

I dreamed our bedroom life was like a beautiful woman tending an exquisite porcelain crab robot

whose innards were plantean circuits.

Playing with dough.

let's watch Dune, or better yet,

Shapes of Ptah, the old one.

okay. close enough.

Do you love Germania?

I have tickets to the Teutonics game against

the Seltzer Canons.. Oh dammit Bill,

LOVE ME!

I could be a terrorist. Do you know where your barrel of gunpowder is?

And it is time to listen

to Robert Johnson.
