I would like to argue, again, that Word or any word processor of that complexity is probably the most counter-productive program a poet or even author can work in, at least initially. The grammar and spelling lines are the most notable examples, but they are designed to attract your eye, which of course distracts you …

If I am never read by another soul,it’ll be worth knowin’ your eyes have crossed these words. ain’t like I ain’t got dreams of teachin’,of passin’ on the passion,ain’t like I ain’t got dreams,of makin’ somethin’ of this,but the worth of it,that’s in knowin’ that these words speak, to even one. hell, sometime I ain’t …

it’s the quick quiet here,heavy with the first too-hot sun of the year,and in this muddled and muggy mire,I’m watching incense curland thinking of home. ‘cause house ain’t home till them roots go down,but I can feel them summer surges buildin’, for the second time,and too grows this road-lust. Another town, Another start.Too many folks …

starts with that gut rush tide surgin’darlin’, love, darlin’,I stood on Glacier Point in Yosimite,‘n I looked at erosion crags ‘n vistas that make poets like me,oh so weak in the knees.Had half a mind to jump just to see it from all the angles of decent,to watch the beautiful earth rise up ‘n clutch …

Darlin’,them self-punk pirates is on our wake,‘n it ain’t worth the time it’ll take. Way I figure,‘n I done some figurin’ on this, believe you me,we got one choice,we gotta f a l l …

Hun,my monitor’s gone and let its smoke out,‘n this ozone smell’s filled the air,‘n I’ve got molten plastic stringing from fingertips. the shut-down, the giving-up,there ain’t a reboot from that.We’re not runnin’ from drive, that’s smoked out too,just us and whatever’s left in the fast-fading RAM.Won’t be long ’til it just stops… There ain’t a …

Love, let’s strip it bare and look at the source-code of this for a bit.My criticism, like any, is some slopped attempt at differed self-awareness.[“most common in interpersonal criticism is the focus on attributes one finds unsatisfactory in oneself” *Strain, Dippel, et al.]So, you’re absolutely absolut, with that full on 80 proof vodka bite,and me …

Unfortunately, Mr. Kennedy, your fractals are fading fast.We’re going to have to perform a fragrencectomy.As a result of this, you won’t smell like much of anything,and, it is theorized, that since smell is such a binding part of mnemonic recall,no one will really be able to recall anything but vagueness about you.May I suggest looking …

I’ll build our bed by hand,‘n it ain’t but pine,but I’ll trace the stain through every grain with finger and palm,‘n I’ll know the taste of every screw. with ached ‘n scarred fingers I’ll carve: “even storms find themselves in safe harbor, sometimes.” with great scratching strokes, in secret places where I know your …
