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
