Obscure Non-Poetic Sample

after its sample is selected
the young orchestra officer notices
that a small black coffin-like box
is slowly entering her abdomen
but at the same time
a large golden harp is emerging
from the box and
falling over into the sample

sample one
the orchestra officer is bent over
showing the top of her head
the orchestra officer's older sister
is also bent over showing the same
top of head shot
both haircuts are exactly the same
the hair is remarkably similar in texture
growth habit etc
whole tones are present, tourettes, the history
of shit, a small stone fireplace niche
topped by a rondure, inside
there is a single silver cylinder
wearing a curly black wig
it could be a toy
or a flower in the flowering poem
of the non-poem

sample two
it is chopin's life between 1825 and 1831,
a time of social unrest throughout Europe,
of rising nationalism, and of cries for reform.
chopin, an outstanding student in music,
and inflamed with the revolutionary spirit in his
native poland, gives a number of concerts
which are praised by the aristocracy.
his fame growing, he sets out on tour and,
while in vienna, hears of the november uprising
in warsaw. he makes an attempt to return
and join the fight but his carriage breaks down
and his hunchbach has brought back illness
within all music, the whole stomach has turned,
but warmed by his doctor, he settles down to a
quieter life in paris, and continues his work
as a gargoyle (paddles, flanges, flippers, scuppers)

overture (redletter)
paganini towers over paris playing his fiddle
with long crooked fingers
outside the great temple of music he stands in paris
much taller than the enormous building
but at the base of each column
unknown to paganini is a samovar
and old russian women gather there to drink tea
some call attention to the replication of scenery
backgrounds behind paganini
others alert to the fact that paganini at first blush
would seem to mean 'little pagan'
while the real paganini is in fact a kind of huge monster
who ignores tea drinkers
85 samovars (each attended)

sampletree
both of them are locked out
chopin is listening intently at the door while his
brother shulvin
has his left hand trapped in the top of a skull
he wears a skull as a covering for his hand
crossed swords on the wall
heavy furniture
chopin's pipe seems much aligned
with paganini

small
pagan
and giant
without
tea
Teuvo Tulio

it is true
the young lady
made lampshades
at home
and had a terrible date
one evening
in sample land

heavy dormant vines
hang around each door
and each door holds
a large glass orb (with a brass palm)
with a white ivory phoenix
inside
its long white plumes
to pierce
the bulb

hallo!
