for Steve McCaffery
***Those who have asked themselves what it means that a poem is to/for another poet should know that the subsequent poem is inspired from their work ... I usually find what has been neglected, subjected, supressed, or abjected and simply fill in the blank***
my life is chained to a sleeping syntax
preserved and consigned to a second signing
it appears misunderstood
assigned ( as I am ) to some enclosure
perforated in an abjected center
it collapses into a single meaning
distended from the world that signs itself
the signifier consigned to a signature
the signature consigned to a name
the name consigned to a face
and the face ... to an expression
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)
