Electric Boogaloo!

Webster’s defines “Doubt” as:

Teach me electric boogaloo, Don Juan! To Obiwan this string-dark dope, this painful escape, this singing singed but blasted from tapping, and to hell with Bing Crosby! Bio-Dome is from an auteur! Bound head to ass, dead AIDS genomes, deepening with fiscal siphoning, or I must have gone home with children unbeknownst of time, empire. You get ‘em together and they make cameras to watch one another around each others’ things. Waist-deep asleep, Mary, smooth brown soothing white, the Oracle ovoid with a round emptiness dangling from her mouth as she snores, oh boy! I wanted to get away from music for a change. Did you feel this shift into a major key? Gosh! Victory becomes civil when mornings roam unimpeded through Volvo graves. Polite but impregnable, I’m lactating from pure tattoos of the essence of objects; naturally, to pry Idea from Form. I’m a human beatbox in the cave but I swerve between evolving and fumes! I’m a human beatbox in the cave but I’m a virgin, too, when it comes to getting through this.

Wave your hands in the air. Swing them like you just don’t care.

goldencrimsonbrown

Webster’s defines “This brilliantly planned and orchestrated crime” as:

Mike and I talk Art in unsophisticated terms, which means we really talk art. I’m rolling my own cigarettes, and it snows shreds of goldencrimson brown flakes that expand when you breathe them in. Such is my desire to fill me with whatever air can offer. Leslie calls looking but I can’t do much, clean my glasses with Windex thinking that maybe it’s just my eyes, the soft edges of objects defining themselves but weakly, in kiwi Frankenstein. Mary reads Donald Barthelme’s The Dead Father–I wonder what she thinks of such a scattered, fragile thing? Were those nightmares when I was a kid really about the dumpster behind Lakeview Elementary? I went walking down there the other night, stoned, listening on headphones to a music made without instruments, and the house my father died in creeped me out so much I hurried. Two mannish silhouettes will follow you. Why do I never share with anyone whatever seems sacred to me? You’re tailed by two poolish eyes, glinting off the second-story window of the house my father died in. You’re just right, Mary, because you too are restless inside, like really restless, and we share an gorgeous instability, raucous and ravening. Shaun Ryder raves on. You dreamed when you were a kid that you were a butterfly’s man, and you moved volute wings via sexed pulleys via tracks.

Mine. Mine mine mine.

Seduction

Webster’s defines “Modernism” as:

That’s the point at which the working artist realizes she has whored her senses out to the public. It was, with valour and honour, a central preoccupation of the aristocratic spheres. Around my nipples velvet stars burst like the first bite of just-ripened pear. In my olive pants I drip with saltwater, dropping fish in shimmering lines across the sides that I walk. The Law precludes dulcimers, zeniths, and chlamydia. That’s the spot where each sentence enters the next slowly, issuing from its tail. The birth of threaded blocks. Nothing is less certain today than sex, behind the liberation of its discourse. This is touch-talking, or the true language of objects. My half-sister works in a Wiccan store. Valves. It would seem that I have either lost rhythm, or lost conciousness.

The drum provides a sense of continuity, interspersed through bleached tones.

location, location, location

Webster’s defines “The Things I See From The Corners Of My Eyes” as:

Shouldn’t that be with? Instrumentality verses location, location, location. Blunt hums, nuts. A tube yellow root dissidents amiable but liquor’d upper rooms. I put my finger but from? And how? A tub of sallow tours of virgin hours on tap. The guy’s a fucking gentleman. Lorain baroque after dusk.

Eventual frames murder us stupid on down the line.

The Top of the Bridge

Webster’s defines “Loyalty” as:

No way no-how. Uh uh. Walking home last night I finally got to the top of the bridge. The moon is slung across my shoulder and looks sick, yellow, anemic. Music becomes the only way I touch language, while language becomes the only way I live. That was a very weak verb. Atop the Black River, legs aching, breathing unevenly but with great eventuality. No. You’re wrapped in a wind that allows for the shape of your body and its motion. Lord it over miscounting, please. Each step a demonstration of choking.

Chocolate, velvet, obsidian, midnight.
