the blood moon rises over pigs in their shit. the prophets are on all fours. the dung of animals on their tongues. their prophecies are the equilibrium of entropy. the heat death of a torpid and make believe universe. only man's machines whittle their way to nothing and grind the gears to bits.
& i am left to wonder if i've written something
just so that it could be unwritten
the bottom line is: all equations signify nothing. i resent every sacrifice i've ever made. the skin i shed in penitence returns to me as turpitude.
the magic of masochism (absolute masochism is a force of nature) go ask ghandi, jesus, buddha, and mandela. we worship them all. sacrifice is elemental. self-annihilation is god's gift to the self satisfied.
figurines emerge out of the blurred smelling of gunpowder and sperm
it is not that civilization deserves to be destroyed
it's that it never existed
all the paranoid monoliths have their signifiers up your ass. pointing their fingers.
oh mr crowley
put a gun to your head
put a spike in your vein
and trick the dead
awake
where you go playing
i make teleologies for functional consumption
bleeding little bits
of drain
once upon a time
the good guys wore white hats
the bad guys had black hats
and you could tell anything
from anything else
this isn't my world
god is not a dualist
god is not realist
god is not a hyper-realist
god is not a surrealist
god is twice impressionst, endlessly doubled, an impression of an impression of an impression of an impression ...
Computer poetry is warfare carried out by other means, a warfare against conventionality and language that has become automatized. Strange as it seems, our finite state automata have become the poet’s allies in this struggle, the long historical battle by which mankind pries into the surface of language to reveal its latent mysteries… R.W. Bailey, Computer Poems (1973)

what the fuck is wrong with psychiatry
i think i've figured this out
line of perpetual intervals
falling in suspension
till a red moon
stills the earth's center
what begins in light
runs in diminishing circles
reality becomes so distorted
that it becomes its own reality
god likes his victims
littered with statistics
the dsm is our holy book
listen to this psychiatrists
the vast majority of people
who feel they are the object
of cold detached analysis
become afraid.
when you see it, you'll think it's paranoia
because why should they be afraid of you?
you're there to help them.
any logical mind would reason that.
but the fact of this segmentation
between you and your observation
the copenhagen interpreation of
you are in fact a part of the experient
you are conducting...
this is the big glitch
in your system

Inbred Banjo Boy
(One of the greatest moments in American cinematic history...)
his little eyes are black
no white at all
and still it seems like he can see
it seems like he can
little black eyes can see
can see
little black eyes
can see
his little eyes are black
no white at all
his little black eyes
can see
his little eyes are black

and still it seems like he can see

under this sky
we are weightless
ghost of zero
reflection of nothing
specter. spectator.
after image. impression.
animals and men
merge together
at the crossroads
sliding mirror
in the low sun.
in vertigo.
arrange their shadows
about a face that expresses
nothing.
a memory of flesh.
transcendental narcissus.
the fire is cold.
the fire in her heart
will have passed
into a voice.

get the hell outta like comfort
void of stillness sun
or get through the comfort
but where you go playing,
I make teleologies for functional consumption
bleeding little bits
of drain.
waited chemical servants
that reach in throne
hell and war to sacrifice
Even God is twice impressionist
without slowed knots
that mislead,
lacked as bound objects
sacrificing
to a chain of promises.

Psyche
you were a girl
polystyrene of parts
maudelin mannequin
in envy of motion
you were a boy
puzzled into pieces
fading at the edges
overgrowing your body
dissolving
you will be a man
a mannequin
a manic kindred
of the kinetics of pressure
shedding skin
you will be a woman
a hanged man
a mannequin
puzzled into pieces

Reading
Hello all!
I will be doing a reading at Rust Belt Books with Matthew Cohen Dunleavy and Xavier Moriarty on Friday the 13th. It may or may not feature a new booklet hand pressed by yours truly. It will definitely feature exciting experimental works from some of the more interesting poets in the Buffalo area. If you are in the neighborhood, please stop by. The event should go from 7pm to 10pm. Thanks,
Dave

Vox Sola
the ghost of an insect
red tears on the horizon
fear everywhere
nowhere
and the language
of arsonists.
i want just what you said
i want
just what you said
god's hammer
god's eye
divides by infinity
and renders everything
to nothing.
the consolation of lightening
star within star
the power of these hearts
the bite of a pitiless god
automatic dreams
lost
and i don't want anything from you
i don't want anything
i am collapsed
like a buddhist catastrophe
brooding over lack of want
lamented void
of clandestine lamented void
of the solemn
god is a signal
fading into a magic puzzle
with a template cut of flesh and words
patterned on a rising spiral
into nothing
and everywhere
red tears on the horizon
fear everywhere
nowhere
and the language
of arsonists.
