Text in the three poems from a levitating encephalon (clarification
of penmanship)
- The fourteenth segment for Wallace
The blackbird witnesses in the snow,
The frigid digits
And Lamarckian strides.
Its right eye
Perched upon the involute song of the snowflake.
And its left eye
Meandering the grotesque motif of endeavor
The blackbird watches. - The contortionist maneuver of disparity in totality
For the spume
is the snow,
mine eye the sky.
Where one sees verity
could there be
disparity? - The city that dwells in me faces no paperwork
The
city
treads
upon
my
meninges
The
temple
is my
cranium
Its
people
are my
brethren
Odra permeates
my viens
The city that dwells in me
faces no paperwork.
