"verbum" poems
i just lamented a more complex version of this; i just cannot believe we denote the same thing in order to share an understanding of the same by denoting as such, but when acting we feel so differently about it; imagine the noun iran in the mouth of an american, then picture the verbs subsequent... then imagine the noun america in the mouth of an iranian, then picture the verbs subsequent: words hold as much emotion as actions discard, even though the actions are worded, and the words are almost imaginary when concerned with what iraq was when given belshazzar.
i wonder if as many people would **** or die
for the noun apple, as they do for allah -
say the noun apple... apple apple apple long enough...
will you get apple juice? well no, so if you keep on saying
the noun allah allah... will that thing materialise?
the imaginary atheistic sense
of the word allah, is that humanity
turned the noun allah into a verb
of its own chosing due to man's free will,
i.e., say allah casually over coffee,
now say allah in jihad clothing...
the same noun among diverse verbs...
might as well invent a new grammatical
category of nouns and verbs mingling...
nouverbs... what noun invokes what action,
consolidated in what are excesses of adjectives,
given the quality of a life lived -
the man who casually said the noun allah
in a coffee shop in denmark managed to integrate
into danish society and start up a newspaper...
the man in syria who "casually" said the noun allah
in a coffee shop in syria didn't manage the former...
because his orientation of the noun
changed the path of the sequence of nouns / beheaded nuns,
since the cutting of the word verb,
managed to craft non-verbum-ergo-actio.
in defence of avoiding one’s own mortality,
one speaks against one’s own death,
thus one speaks with the enemy of the people
one shares a life with, for a fake chance of the feeling of prolonging.

Nu har jeg glemt dig.
Nu har jeg glemt dig.
Nu har jeg glemt dig!
Nu har jeg glemt dig!
Nu har jeg virkelig glemt dig!
Har jeg nu glemt dig?

photo-sensitivity of touch devices
(notably a samsung tablet)
translated via a differential
content encoding...
i.e. expose a touch-screen to
excessive heat,
via, such as this godforsaken
intake of sunlight in
england...
and all the verbal / commentary
videos?
start jittering,
breaking-up...
not exactly punk:
as in - scratched transmission,
but cyber- "funk"...
music videos?
clear transmission,
no "vinyl scratching" interludes,
no instance of a rough
coughing edit...
mind you...
did you know that if you encode
a scratched CD into mp4 format,
and load it into an iPod
the iPod translates a hardware
fault?
yeah... the ****** thing
breaks down!
starts getting the "jitters"...
as if an auto-censor stuttering...
do the same with an mp3 device...
no problem...
it's that sort of observation akin
to playing the Sims,
and using the VR puppet to
play the computer...
while you're playing the computer:
that's how i got out of the game...
wormhole weirdness...
but a scratched CD translated into
a mp4 device will break -
mind-boggling!
just like apple computers are
immune to trojan viruses (etc.) -
iPods didn't seem to have the same
immunity when you followed protocol
of copyright,
i.e. buy a CD, and translating it into
the mp4 format...
reiteration:
a scratched CD encoded into mp4
will break the device...
in mp3 you can actually hear
the scratch-jump across a music track...
but the device continues
to function...
same with touch-sensitive devices...
expose it to too much sunlight
and all pure-verbum (talking)
videos begin to unfold
as is DJ sensitive -
scratched, jittering...
but a music video?
plays out without a single "paradoxical"
indentation.
oh hell, apple ios great...
but no one really gave an example how
faulty hardware (scratched CD) translates
into a faulty device (a "stuttering" iPod)...
which is basically a generic
standard computer virus -
default software a priori:
an "original sin":
the "no man's land" of thesis and
antithesis -
the parenthesis -
perhaps even the supreme (sic) example...
but it's "out there": this mp4 format
of translating hardware...
the software inherently
copies one fault (scratched CD)
into another ****** up iPod).
to be honest, i was only going to write
the following, entitled (ode to my ex):
every **********
i've ever met
was 100 times
more responsible
about
getting pregnant;
i've imagined
prisons with less
shackles
and far better
excuses
to: "settle down" with a man;
i'm no more a monkey
than she is a mantis.

Tantum tempus temporis
quoniam aliena femina in meo cubiculo dormivit;
ecce illi quantum dulce somnus est.
Quanta etiam libera somnia sunt.
In alia aetate mundum certe rexit
vel optimo regi in matrimonio fideliter ducta est
qui iuxtus flumen psalmos luce lunae scripsit.
**** me iri foras egressum et spatiatum
Nihil occurit hic, nihil umquam fit.
Praeterea si incedat iam volat me narrare;
habeo nihil, praecipue erga quicquid erat.
Viam cepi aviam
qua celeres non superant;
dignis praemia sunt
qui verbum veritatis distinguere possunt.
Hospes solus me docere potuit
praeclaram orem iustitiae contemplari
et videre oculum pro oculo, et dentem pro dente.
Nisi duo homines in mansionem,
Est nullus in viso; verem exspectant,
proinde quasi ver plaustro accederet.
Mundus deleretur ea nocte
sed meae amicae aequum esset;
illa meo cubiculo dormiret *** revenirem.
Meridiano me promoveo
adhuc in obscura parte viae;
in angustos corruere
et constans manere non possum.
Alius mea ore dicit
sed solum meo animo audit,
calcas omnibus etiam tibi feci
quibus tamen careo.
Ego et ego
In creatione quo ingenium alicuius
nec alicui ignoscit nec excolit.
Ego et ego
unus alteri dicit nullus et videre
imaginem meum et vivere possit.

The cloister garth exploded
in afternoon sunlight,
post meridiem solis
the lone mulberry tree
the only shelter or shade
where monks gathered
for tea and cake,
luce disperde
le tenebre
an Italian monk said
as I sipped tea
he eyeing me,
light dispersing darkness
I mused seeing
Dom James pass by
he smiling
carrying his cup
and saucer to Dom Bede,
l'obscurité empiète
où la foi échoue
the French monk muttered
next to the other
I said nothing
but mused on his words
where faith fails
darkness encroaches,
cloister bell tolled
conversations ceased
the monks went their way
to task or prayer
or contemplation
I helped push the trolley
with the large teapot
and cups and such
to the abbey kitchen
Dom Patrick worked in silence,
in silentio est
verbum Dei,
God's word in silence
an old monk had
told me once
white bearded
tonsured of head
God speaks in silence
he said.

Aspen of Appalachia, away,
Bereft from bleating, brooding bovine.
Clay County contrives conspiracy
Doomed, darkened, deceitful. Directed
Eastward at Eastaboga’s emp’ror
Full of most fitting flight, fleeing from
God. Those good graces known given up,
Heartily, exchanged happenstance his
Immortal soul for idolatry.
Jeered at Jehovah, jested Jesus,
Kingdom keeping the kicked knaves knowing
Lowly that the Lord lash little at
Men who make ****** and mudwork made
Nightly. Nefarious no-goods now,
Open but not ostracized. Oh, old
People praise the past per penchant but
Quickly they quit; queerly quell their quest,
Running from redemption and rambling
So he stopped searching, got set soulless,
Turned to the tantric, tuned to the tumult,
Unburdened with useless unknowns. Up
Verily and vivaciously, vet
Words which will warrant wonder. Why not
****** excellent, exuberant?
Yet, ye of yellow faith, yon Yahweh
Zeros the zest of zig-zagged zetas.

"Les femmes jouissent d'abord par l'oreille"
Dit Marguerite Duras
Toi, mon HYDRE-MUSE, tu jouis
Par l'oreille absolue et frivole
Magnifiée
Par la danse à contre-temps
De la poésie pénétrante
Du saxo et de la tumba
Du coupé décalé et de l'azonto
Entre violons et accordéons
Qui fait voltiger sur tes hanches
Toute la copelia complicada de ta libido.
Je rentre sans hâte dans la mue de la couleuvre
Et je te ceins la taille.
Réinventons les croisés en cinquième position
Du ballet classique de Noureev, Petipa et Balanchine
Et à quatre pattes virevoltons dans le Bolchoi.
Setenta y ocho :
Je te tatoue le bas des reins
D'un tatou boule qui exécute
Des renversés arrière multicolores
Dans les plus intimes sillons de ta peau.
Cero :
Verbum Sapientiae Principium Est !
De mon pinceau chatoyant je dessine Des pas de bourrée étourdissants
Aux confins de tes cambrures
Setenta y siete :
Tu miaules des entrechats charnels
Et tu tournoies comme un ventilateur
Et tu me dis : viens, mon prince,
Montre-moi tes ronds de jambes doubles
Ochenta y quatro :
je te prends par les orteils tout en te caressant l'oreille
Et je te dis vas-y
Cuarenta y cinco :
Dombolo baroque dès que tu bouges tes fesses pour m'inviter à tes
Messes de sabbat
Très y media :
Demi-pointe sur les tétons qui frémissent et qui clignent des yeux
La peau de ton aréole gauche danse la biguine
Ton sein droit fait voltiger du jus de grenade
Sesenta :
Un deux trois cinq six sept
Un seul fouetté
Tu enchaînes les figures libres et académiques
Passe après passe
Tu plantes dans le taureau farceur tes aromates
Et je crie Banco et tu me mordilles la paume de la main.
Setenta complicada :
J'aime notre gourmandise choreographee clitoridienne, anale, phallique et vaginale
Cet appétit colossal de ballet épicé à la Merce Cunningham, Alvin Ailey et Martha Graham
Qui nous prend entre deux morts de tous nos lacs des cygnes primaux
Nous en sommes les danseurs étoiles les solistes les premiers danseurs les petits rats les chorégraphes et les maîtres de ballet
À nous deux nous formons une troupe
Réincarnée
Et nous signons de nos plumes de chair notre martingale lubrique :
Un deux trois... Cinq six sept
Un deux trois... Cinq six sept
Un deux trois... Cinq six sept

The priest suggested
I read Gerard Hopkins' poems
so I took a copy
to the abbey,
verbum Dei,
inside and out
in books
in souls
God speaks,
what I know
of the divine science
and holy scripture
I learnt
in the woods and fields
Bernard said,
hold me closer
she said
I want to feel
you enter,
I mowed the grass
by the church wall
and Dom Robert said
none do it like you,
Hugh brought
the meals into
the refectory
on the trolley
his thin lips
showed no joy,
Dieu est ici
the French monk said
touching his chest
with a tap of his hand,
viviamo per amare
the Italian monk said
as we walked
from church
to the garth
for afternoon tea,
she lay beside me
her hand touching
my pecker with skill,
charity must not
remain shut up
in the depths
of the heart
said Therese,
faith is an act of will
clinging to God
no matter how
we feel Bruno said,
the abbey bell tolled
echoing along
the cloister
as I walked to my room,
love is the joy
of the good
and the wonder
of the wise
said Gareth
quoting Plato,
I closed my eyes
hoping an extra prayer
would help me grow.

one word...
no crossword clue,
nothing cryptic,
or encrypting...
one word...
and it works both ways...
i.e. how diacritics works
to measure syllables...
or... in the least...
measure them out...
Hy'perion
version (a)....
verion (b)?
Hýperion...
**** it,
we can have punctuation marks
reigning from above:
intra-verbum
rather than the casually,
almost forgotter,
inter-verbum...
so...
next time i misuse a semi-colon...
tell me...
it's called a cascade point...
exclusive to the English
language...
first comes the hinde syllable...
and then? the subsequent
syllables, notably two...
but perhaps more,
although i haven't observed
a +2 examples...
but we'll start here...
and where we start?
the hinge syllable...
in this case -
Hý
or Hy'...
the door is hinged...
the door-knob is tugged (-per-)
and then...
the door is opened (-ion)...
simple!
just because some people are semi-literate,
doesn't mean we can't be
hyper-literate.
p.s.
mind you... ha ha... funny thing
about English, as a language...
how did the hidden
affix -igh become involved in
the synonym "distinctions" debate?
now you can say it...

Along the threaded lag bolt path,
at scale, as existence twists toward
a peace past understanding, even
in the past when religions won
wars against heathen satanic
savages and book makers…
made slaves of all losers…
and heroes died young…
old Is-ai-ah a liar yoke broke bull.
Or does life
in the word realm extend dominion
across domains long reserved
for the learn-ed mankinds
worth decreed long lines
of ration reservations,
right to use rules,
golden ruled,
chuwd chiydah
riddle a little riddle
shamar briyth amar
by keeping our weform
whatsoever we agree, we
makes our stand, not under
by my own word, I so say, on
--gwanb'guns half done doit
be thinking once I heard tell
I know that riddle
in Ezekial,
from a POV ascribed
to professional amanuensis -
ritual hear and reply, last words
spoken -
in secret sacred all in once
told tales, crossroad wagers offered
never tell a soul you saw the towb ra'
without mentioning the wise serpent,
risen
in curious music
from nowhere,
wha…
a class of tongueless eunuchs
some have suggested. Created
to oath bound accuracy, verbum
verily holding the rude pen in spirit
17:21… after the riddled parable
And all his fugitives
with all his bands shall fall
by the sword, and they
that remain shall be scattered
toward all winds:
and ye shall know
{Dusty trails, forever}
that I the LORD have spoken
[it].
A long, long time ago…
Suffice
to know the Torah, preserves
the form
of temporal wrath defense rituals,
Jolly good luck charming mitzvahs,
the recipes, the dance, none chance
old as the stories told during Job's days,
centuries before Moses, if Moses ever was,
as the witnesses
of all first drafts… done left us
riddles and esoterica, mostly
to keep us safe
from preachers.

I have contemplated the meaning of life
As if contemplation imparts meaning or depth
As if meaning imparts meaning
or depth.
Then in linguistic merriment
I leapt
Ad Infinitum
Ad nauseum
Ad lib
Ad absurdum
Life as a language
Ad verbum
And round and round I went
Always Looping back to myself
Then in one grand sweeping motion
I deferred to you
Life
Where and then
I came to rest
Always different
Yet always the same
I have contemplated the meaning of life
As if there were somewhere to be
Someplace to go
A vagabond’s journey
How funny
A lesson learned
A righteous rule
A digital ballroom
A barroom brawl
Y’ all
A loveall.
And I have contemplated the meaningless of life
Just something to do
Perhaps better than nothing
Nowhere to go
No roadmap to get there
Except
Here where
You are
Life
Love
I am.
