Free Pennsylvania In Three


Movement   Compulsion   Proscription   Control

Every part to its process

and for every space on the train a body lunging to sit

For every phenomenon a description and

the indescribable presence behind it

For every text a reader be

And every child evil

Every every its category

Each dog every god damn

A style to the man

Dissolution    Constraint    Movement    Compulsion

Hard wired to flame

Region to leave a
Climate to mind  a
Tired bulldog compulsion god damn
All this info to process
A feeling of being outside somehow and to see
The real gravity of the structure
In this case a highway, Rte. 80 in
Pennsylvania, more than a word—my name
Pennsylvania, throwing my heart through a wall
Pennsylvania, who sees what goes on inside you

Inside you is a night-system
And a trenchwar
A bull pen and a minion
And a night and its mineral
And television tellyvision tele

Vision

to choose, to select and to choose
to describe here and now
as the ongoing attempt to distill and refine
sense of a mind real sadness, underlying
and emanating from moments in time
 (a list of examples, expressively rendered)
so that writing across the page appears vaguely
the same             as if a series of blurry scripture
all the same
the objects in focus are
stand-ins, obviously, but what for
harder to describe
maybe sort-of 
the point
