REFRACTED FUTILITY
“haw! hrr, haw!”
— the others
1.
don’t be lured by the phenomenal emptiness of leaves
study a composite, cloud-free view of the world:
the rain forests and rivers provide all of our needs
2.
our planet speaks a knot of properties
luminous details flash mating signals
through the night of mind
3.
inhibiting travel at the speed of light
the way up & the way down
are points of light crowding out the dark
an exploding quasar
4.
is the principle objective of humanity
an experiment with numbers
5.

data absorbed in loops and clusters
no single point of energy
burst & feeds on the word form
on the look-out for new structures, which may be old
getting high on the J-curve
6.
life disposed in packets: mud, quill, badger
species enter focus as high birds
track them to crystal & remeld the gradations
gathered around the fire let knowledge go
as words boil up, spoon out clusters
7.
make transfers by pressing eyeballs to the page
become the frame, the parameter, the signpost and road
leading to evidence: of stone heads, backs to sea
8.
ghosts of palms, conifers & mahogany
hang in the smoky haze of the room
9.
you are open, fields, a pathless way
look out from the corners of your eyes
10.
a fish in a forest on a fjord
no longer resists
