human history as a machine occurs
consistently in revision while

that which is politically cynical
might violate that which is real

and while that which being
real coalesces its present

human history as it is an inseam
occurs always within an expansion

sewn by a systemic
of accident and choice

let’s say celebrity’s phony and
that meaning somehow a map

such as the case might perhaps lead to
the wonder at that map’s appearance
 

to present the question into whether
or not “America” is an idea or a place

to wonder at whether an “American”
as person can represent some specific

to follow that with a question regarding
the total number of possible responses

and then to ask how such responses
might possibly be limited in scope

and then to wonder in regard to
national legitimacy as a viable construct

and then to wonder in regard to national
legitimacy as a sustainable construct

and then to wonder what might replace all
which is already socially accepted as such

and then to consider the issue of
food beginning as if that were basic

one might feel compelled
to ask about water or not

one might feel compelled to wonder in turn whether
“ownership” like “America” is either a place or an idea

one might feel compelled to ask what all
of this has to do with an idea of a place

one might feel compelled to return to this as
a procedural interrogation into here as a topic
 

from here at the foot
of chicken hill

I have the option to venture
forth with out

the assistance
of gasoline slower

speed as an allowance
for wonder at the visual perplex

american as
a dubious who tag

exhibit a peculiar obsession with an appearance
of cleanliness

while all around the ecosystem clearly
( ) deteriorates
 

flash flood automaton
the digital narrator

stating the dollar dollar
oh seven dash and

the idiocy of driving even an
SUV into high moving water
 

events hurl out of sequence
who watches

this piece of cumulative writing
examines the social

and environmental debilitation
fostered by the sheer

greed which drives corporate capitalism
as its law embedded

though let’s get one thing straight
Halliburton

is not really a person the refusal of
responsibility

however follows a trajectory which
reverberates

when refusing responsibility
for personal deeds

male sexual promiscuity not being
abnormal though

in resistance to identical behavior
in females

as an excuse to collapse into rage and
so some shithead

with nothing much that not meaning
a collection

of items beats her as an issue
not only

of power at that within its lacking
he handing himself

as a matter of naming specific
permission

and as an application supposed
of ascendancy in

this resembling the president
each of whom

resorts to lashing at others in
positions of weakness

and how the making of art via
whatever the medium fits

into this abusive model as an act
of resistance

and that has a great deal to do with why this isn't
precisely a poem
 

Jimmy wonders whether
Fritz is a narc that’s

something I hadn’t
considered since

the blond woman’s also
rumored as beaten

by someone who thinks
he’s her husband

one of about five
according to Jimmy

and that guy claiming
as an excuse

for his violence
that he caught the clap

whither the rails
delineate limits

my trespass
in passing I

only out walking
the dog and

hardly see Fritz
as who he is

anyway that being how this
at any point when

wander I into thus gossip
begun
 

that vanish
that which precedes
the initial that

anyone might pick the letter
y for example
and then the subsequent

question
why
it isn’t will

stand up
and
vanish
 

its being
it's being its

being about
this means

my ankle
this being this

being this
beating it

isn't trout
funny to

live at the
foot of a

chicken I
want today

to talk
about my

trespass
and why

I even
bother

it being its
as a matter

might meaning
in mention
 

space needed at
the least for auto

mobile placement(s)
one for each adult

in a household say two
to four say more

space needed
to be decided when

that emergency presents
itself as

dire in case of
urgency break

glass break glass
anyway say gradient as

gravel
glass shattered the

measure of an
urgency why

I am unemployed say
thanks

space needed
will stand around will

work will stand around
will work will

wanted
petrochemical pleasures

food needed food needed food
needed needing space

needed
will work

for what will suffice
heh heh and heard

and that as a work
in descent

somewhere I am be
coming in

visible
will stand and
 

at risk of serious injury
I place myself in front of a car

and anticipate the impact as an
am embedded cellular

automaton anyway
reporting as a solute wad

of chemical toxicity might
walk the dog might

capture a neurological
topography as terminally

robotic or even
possible might stride

into one sunken under
horizon assuming am

an issue of altitude in which
a distant image fluctuates

as oddly ahem edge which
might an am unable obtain
 

the medium
as an intrusion upon

a tripartite interpretation
of time

time passed in this case
its present

a high speed intrusion
with words another word

word dumb meatgrinder trafficking
in obedience

highway combustibles
commerce littered with mash

roadkill mashing
these being x meat under a racing and

roadkill another deer reflexively
dragging

its carcass beyond an anesthetized human
meat grinder
 

in large part this
considers the
impossibility

of my eyes and a
raw hamburger blob
on the street

under the sun
as visual data taken it
isn’t

dependable
that’s ground meat
the muscle and fat

of some uncertain beast
a blob of which blurs
on the street

seen then I wonder at
an unfocused what and
neuro illogically

struggle due to the color it appears to me as a word
carpet my mind
works

toward this visual puzzle and
so toward a slow correspondence
peering

into the edge of this blob rolled over and
smeared
driven over

and over and so beyond as almost patriotic
a progressive
red

and white smudge diminishing
on asphalt
a grease

gotten sticky and slick
the bouquet of which likewise
develops
 

dawn walks a dog walks

perpendicular
to a proliferation of bridges

on which collect traffic and
under which illegally

limping the rails emerges
a bandaged man

following a train wreck
it's perpetual modernity by

his own admission yanking
a cheese from his sinus succeeding

a rough Friday night
 

to “have” critical intelligence
rather than to “use”

that human having and
and the second reflecting

ability to spew data
and to speak with an

air of authority on
random

and irrelevant
topics
