day 14

you looked at my writing 

and said it needed more vowels.

now I’m ashamed for sharing.

there’s something in cabal

besides fear/frustration.

I don’t know how to respond 

to nameless newborn babies

and I am afraid to use my hands.

I am afraid

to use my hands.

I’m aware of inhaling

of every inhalation

and its contribution to my self

and how awkward my fingernails

seem, out of place, polish childishly,

cheaply, chipped.

how important is memory?

can you be creative without memory?

I’m searching a medicine cabinet

for a multivitamin that accounts for

vowel deficiency.

day 13

it is friday the 13th

maybe we should have satanic sex

illuminati, etc.

I’ll draw a lot of pentacles and watch The Craft.

I mean, I’m already bleeding from my vagina, so

text, web,

web, text.

spider works on my brain

burrowing in my occipital lobe

I admit to prepositional,

apologize for insufficient architecture.

spider, gloating cerebral leader,

confessing mazes and dilettante freedom.

a pilgrimage down my spinal cord

(days 13&14 on my bloog)

will be posting 3 days of napowrimo poems tomorrow.

“getting off by being withholding” or s/t

“Make sure you’re seen as making fun of yourself, but in a self-aware and ironic way.” The big bottle gurgled as Ron freshened Rudy’s drink.

I asked whether it might be all right if I had just a third of a Xanax.

Believer reviews editor Daniel Levin Becker wrote a book about the Oulipo. An excerpt appeared in the February 2012 issue. I am considering taking a Megabus to Chicago to attend the above event, since Levin Becker is, like his book, generous, funny, and wise. Actually, I don’t think I have time to go to Chicago and back that weekend, but I will still pick up a copy of this book, which Kirkus described as “more palatable than expected.” I’m sold.

day 11

trans fat of literature.

fat drinks promiscuous debts.

something visceral, (re)flux(re)flex, a plague d’arc.

through wingtip triptych a pastoral apologist breathes skepticism admired.

qua-qua, locomotive?  coleridge e’spanked:  mustache must ache.

along edgewise splint-drain, an embalming predilection. relative,

relative, aberrations guished.
