this English hospitality was always somewhat eerie,
neglect of an empire and the topsy turvy
what's called history (sometimes,
set apart from the insomnia of journalism)
i.e. not enough years have passed for the veneer
to crumble...

                       ... spacious orientation of words
for the altar of sacrifice in poem as somewhat
dictated by Olson...

just befitting, to say that Pandora was an
androgynous creature,
    a Chimera of calamities and it wasn't
a box but Pandora fed a chimera rather than
opened some res per se...

         clearly i can hallucinate on the page as
if i have never read anything, ever, aloud...
i've long lost this art of: presented with rhetoric
to sour-**** oover...

           magnanimous is spelled like so...
but when i hear the word
   i see the following misspelling:
   magni-moh-knious: -nious as -news:
the K is silent, inserted to print to make
meaningful distinction between
words like KNOW AND NOW...
but given that now is: nauw
that's pedantic of me and well: ouch auw...

ooh... oh...
     curiosity staged with the latter and a soothing
lather with the former,
how different in two wheels rather than one...

interchangeability of letters so a custom of
idiosyncrasy of dialect and whims of a speaker...
ðe point being:             þoughts
very much akin to:

Greece, always with the Greeks...
    transliterations intact only until
(i have Greek blindspot[s]
which are as follows:

      Ξξ                         Χχ

xi           chi:                xichi

xof | fox

  or rather: how do Greeks laugh?
given that ha ha is actually:

     ηα             i.e. ea ea... H... none to pivot
on a vowel as consonant for breath thus
released like slingshot... not Hat... no Hatter, mad...

and borrowing from
   θ
F
   φ

or rather what became a letter generator tool
of I and O of Io... not the moon but the mortal lover
of Zeus... old Zius... not Zehus...

    Io who gave birth to:

Θ Φ and who in turn gave birth to Ξ.    Ψ

yes yes, you heard me correctly...
the copulation of Zeus with a mortal woman
gave birth to that monstrosity of twins

Theta and Philius...
who in turn loved each other so much that they
performed the act of ****** and in turn
Theta gave birth to their two children
(also twins):             Ξ.    Ψ

Xian and Psiah

          who in turn also performed the sacrilegious
act further... so that...
Ω was born and by the miracle of divine misconception
automated birth of her own accord
as a ****** ha-shem
         hermaphrodite: who have birth to
the imagination for the gods Hermes and Aphrodite

as ε (epsilon) and eta (η)

  by then all other letters came out of an antithesis
and to seal and hide the lineage
from ape to man...
spontaneously or perhaps out of a forewarning
out of a future with the culprit Prometheus
Oppenheimer... like some crippling sense of
time being cyclic rather than linear...

with space being linear, oddly enough...
since no amount of geometry could ever encapsulate
the universe... since space is shapeless
at the end of the day: the linear ache of this vast
cyclops, yawning...

yes: space is linear, time is cyclic...
as i not imagine it to be since it is:
getting from A to B... to work... a recurrent theme...
how tidy: to think like so.
