PARANOPTICON

   asked to compose 
a blurb for some poems 
I prepare  to write
 down reactions to
every one in the book 
until there's two 
full pages of notes
  to condense  into 
a concise phrase
to  serve as a  bumper 
sticker for this work

 it falls short of what 
I think it deserves  
 for the reader to want it
 never mind  everyone 
may qualify to judge
   my friend's poems
 who secretly need
 to be delivered
 as an art form 
  expressed anew

     a mewling neonate 
of poetry, an ode 
pushed through another 
window into a clean  
  gallery of topical 
cameras,  perfecting
 a ring to capture 
the dynamics of the beast

Kūsō Genjitsu

 The story must be about text—it can only be about text—because 
that is the nature of the very story itself 
and since it leads to plausible conclusions 
that only a select few could readily accept. 

Among these, in fact, are the very words of living history
 written in blood on skin, transcending the emotions that flow 
toward the end of time, traced across generations 
on the parchments of flesh we all carry with us.

Vivi Text


による   シュンジンクス・タロン比 

   この物語はテキストに関するものでなければなりません - テキストに関するものでしかありえません - それが物語自体の性質であり、一部の人だけが飛びつきそうなもっともらしい結論を導き出すからです。それらのうち、実際には、血で皮膚に書かれたまさに生きた歴史の文章が、時間の最後に流れる感情を超えて、私たちがお互いに持ち歩く肉の羊皮紙に世代を超えてトレー

Kono monogatari wa tekisuto ni kansuru monodenakereba narimasen - tekisuto ni kansuru monode shika ariemasen - sore ga monogatari jitai no seishitsudeari.

  - Mochiron, kekkyokunotokoro, jikan ni wa owari ga aru to iu gainen wa, kūsō to genjitsu o kondō suru kūsō-ka-tachi ni mo izentoshite atehamarimasu.

Oumuamua's Return

 When Oumuamua returned, they say it lit the skies for days and night
They say when Oumuamua came back, they did it like a sneak attack
They say there's not enough room in the world to accommodate us both
They say it's the war to end all wars from which we may all never come back



   The day Oumuamua returned was like a signal beamed in from another star
  The night Oumuamua lit the sky as if it were daytime caused some to lose sleep 
The year the Oumuamuans hijacked our lives and we united to fight them to the death
The fear caused by Oumuamuans gripped us tight holding us on the edge of our breath

A Dream of Oxidane

 
  This is insane, a dream of oxidane, nobody calls it that, which only goes to show 
There's so much left to learn that we already know.   It's a matter of recollecting.  
 The stories of our fathers and mothers. The exploits of our sisters and brothers. 
 Here all together on this planet Earth. Sometimes our escapes into fantasy work all too well. 
We tend to forget the magnificence on display right here with mother nature. 
 Our catalog of knowledge adds wings to our sails, lifting up our spirits and steering our ship. 
We can get along when put to the trial, we're all in it together most anyone can tell. 
With our nose to the grindstone all of the while we'll brave it together through heaven and hell. 

   Here we go 
     screaming to a Dream
    screaming to a Dream 
   screaming to a Dream of oxidane

 Since all life as we know it siphoned in through the Eye of Poseidon so to speak
 We can see glimpses of its molecular chain forming deep within the ocean 
 With multiple factors on a planetary scale converging to set the conditions for life
 We emerge blind and blinking under the scourge of daylight on our journey toward demise
 Suffering multiple strobe lit attacks on our course by necessity wondering why all the way
 Knowing life has a way of balancing out the bad by adding value to the good. 

    A dream of a sinking golden chain of twenty four carat links dropped in the ocean 
twisting while falling through a sunbeam and flashing reflections occasionally 
  itself a sort of mirror reflection of our own constitution in genetic display 
 as a self-perpetuating organism in tune with our biome by definition, tenacious life. 

   A dream of a lustrous cane of polished black coral inlaid flush with the surface a golden insignia
 This rare variety of white gold flashed a pale shade of quicksilver in the moonlight
 It shared a molecular bond with the fibrous material in the wand allowing it to ground itself 
 In the greater electromagnetic field surrounding, rendering the device into a dowsing stick 
 carrying the innate ability to lead one to the nearest body of water, one who knows how to wield it 

   A dream of a body of water so vast a colony of whales gets lost in the distance 
 Calling each other with haunting ululations lost in the canyons of the deep 
  Consoled by the lonely howls absolved in the void on the rapid current towards sleep

deep blog dream generator

 by  shaun lawton 

   When we're this far buried under the multiple layers of html programming already set to establish the architecture of the web city itself, we know our part in the ensemble of rapid assimilation gets lost quickly in the shifting gears in between; but the best part, besides the fact that we've seen it all a hundred times over cross-stitched back and forth and every where in between remains the unknown factor-X lies perpetually ahead enticing us forward to never stop giving it our all, never quit this neverending quest of the endlessly repeating dream, it's dead set ahead of us and we've prepared ourselves all our lives for it, so don't let it escape our fingertips before we scream.
  We've incurred a reparation to the entire host cell colony bloodline progenitor assembly machine so that a perpetual production line can be virtually guaranteed thereby maintaining its absence or its habitable accountability and upkeep factor, whichever the case may be having been met with perfect accordance to its self fulfilling execution.  

   Since in the case of its absence an automatic reaction to trigger a regulatory checkup becomes engaged the outcome pans out to a zero sum failure resolution which in plain parlance may be translated to perpetual maintenance itself a technical term meaning in perfectly well functioning condition.
