DUST STORM OVER THE EQUATOR

High above a beam of red light
at other mist-wrapped sore feet
a chew is enough

Light in my head
a light of glass buttons
melted heaps slither in a wormhole sahara

Heat bubbles of a dust-storm break over the equator

The oak ventriloquists' aerosol words the second halo of moon ice

MEANING THROUGH CHANCE: SUREALIST GAME

This is a surrealist game of creating meaning through chance. Take five books that are important to you in some way, make a wish while holding them, then open the top book. With as little delay as possible, select a short phrase that your eyes fall upon, then open the next book and do the same. When you have done this with all five books, start over in reverse order. Catalogue the results by placing the selected words for each book on a separate line, and break off the paragraph after the fifth line. Complete the process five or six times, or carry on as long as you like. Share the results, or not.


WILL NOT MARRY OUTSIDE ITSELF


TO JOIN THEORY WITH PRACTICE
CAUSE AN OBSERVER TO FORGET HER AGE
IF THE ‘AESTHETIC STATE’
OF HIS OWN HEAD
SHOULD HAVE NO PLACE

THE FATHER AND MOTHER
FROM THE OLD TO THE NEW
IN SO FAR AS
INTERSPERSED WITH OATHS
TO THIS SORT OF ILLUSION

THIS PENCHANT MANIFESTS ITSELF
AND ADOPT A DOCILE ATTITUDE
THE LATTER MAY BECOME FREELY ADAPTABLE TO CULTURE
BETWEEN THE TWO SCRIPTURES
THE FIRST OF THESE FACTORS

THE GREAT ACTIVITY
SHALL SEE VISIONS
TRANSFORMATION IS THE ISOLATED DEED
THE SEVENTEENTH DAY
WILL HEAR THE ORCHESTRA

PROBLEMS OF EQUILIBRIUM
A DISCUSSION WHICH COULD LEAD US FAR
AS THE ARENA
WE BECOME HIS BODY
A FEW MORE PSYCHIC PECULIARITIES

IT IS TRUE
THE ENORMOUS IMPORTANCE
WITHOUT EXTERNAL REPRESSIVE MODIFICATIONS
WOULD PERHAPS HEAR THE CALL
WILL NOT MARRY OUTSIDE ITSELF
