Records II (Deconstruction/Deconstruct)

but always with the pieces.

Piles of information

from conversations dating back

to the spring of '91.

 

Pieces;

like they're a thought that stands alone.

Pieces;

it suggests that everything will be pieced back

together.

Pieces;

this is how I remember it now.

 

My records are

Highlights and underlines

and low lights.

Sometimes no lights.

Everything in shorthand, the shortest hand

shorter than a flea circus stands above the ground.

 

I have kept a professional record of every conversation

and I have been the opposite of professional.

An Anti-professional.

The original Anti-thought.

Anti-Anti-Anxiety.Anti-Matter Inflamatory.

The Anti-Gravity Example.

Unable to keep the track from bending.

And always derailed by these unneeded poetics,

dressing up the few and far

spaces as ghosts between worlds,

or something mundane as impossibly important.

I'm losing track of time, shoving metaphors in envelopes

I'm some ******* who thinks art is everywhere
