Returning from foreign war zones
I may be missing an important
dia-
gnosis or grasping at straws
here
but the anxiety level provoked
by
a huge local land deal has
revealed
not only a standardized way to
manipulate the browser, but
images
of well-painted & horribly
fright-
ening beasts have also been
found.
A double cypher
The
operation is a calligram. It
is
a mark of ill-breeding to use
French
phrases or words unless
they're
resting on a floor made safe
&
visible by its own coarseness.
All
this litter on the ground—
ask
for an explanation. The
calligram
has a triple role.
The
vague uneasiness pro-
voked
is a Cuban gentleman.
Severely
censure the habit of
using
sentences which admit
of
a double meaning. We have
evidence
of failure & its ironic
remains.
Augment the alphabet.
Splintered
wood, fragmented
shapes.
Many men can converse
on
no other subject than their
every
day employment. Words
can
no longer be reconstituted.

Installing
the new wi-fi extender
Start the
new year right — remove
any
redundancy from your sent-
ences. Then
move away from web-
based video
channels that thrive on
a huge
amount of laughable material
concerning
cats & FAILS. Speak at
great
length on the college hockey
team. Choose meaningful words &
be specific
with your content. Give
listeners a
Δ-regular graph G with n
vertices,
& then segue into the most
recent
version of the periodic table.
Doubles
Entendre
Delirious. Maybe malaria,
perhaps too much cross-
referencing of Vladamir
Putin tapes to see which
ones the body doubles
appear in. Watching the
ease with which they switch
from one double to another,
& how difficult it is to identify
where the crossover lines are,
makes me realize how rarely
we take the time to allow our-
selves the luxury of quality
time with our other selves.
Potpourri
If you took small
things out of
context, could
probably assemble
a tolerable landscape. Talis-
men in your tote bag — the
post office clock
tower, customs house
cupola, some birds, a
measure of hills. Arrange
them where/when
ever you might come
to rest, lean back,
contented or at least
a semblance of. Lasts
for a minute. What
then?
