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
