  Knowledge is an Aesthetic

  “… knowledge about a fact; and this knowledge admits of numberless degrees of complication.” – W. James 1. Humanity named language  Granting Spaces agency with form and place  Out in the darkness  Piles of clothes amass in the bedroom  T-shirts have names but they’re laundry  What form do I take against the laundry, stars and…

  H(y)ist(erical)ory

  History defined in linear sequence relishes the abstract, securing human events as mere content for documentation, recommending the progress suggests a beginning, middle and end.  Empires burn, ashes procure beds for insects, butterfly wings titillate future gales, carrying flames to burn down the next Rome. If events are distinguished by how it impacts humanity, where…

  Illusions in Reality. Art, Love and Caffeine

  Cupid’s head, decapitated, set in stone,  Mounted as  The Fountain-head, spits A Stream of water,  Which arches and frames, Park grass  Overlapping the horizon, Adorned with picnic tables,  Shelters, willow trees  And The occasional dandelion. * * Black specks leap In the distance, additional focus  Transcribes taxonomy  Adjusts their shapes and adds fur,  Whiskers, bushy…

  Plastic Culture

  Sliced bread confuses the soulmate solution, redeemed in pairs. Bottle-caps unscrewed presenting the naked grooves arranged for plastic perfection. Rather. A.  Digital fingerprint  Via microchips. Made in squares, set in rectangles,  Proclaiming unseen value, an illusion of technique. * Air filters capture cellular waste.  Replenished wholesale from frayed tissue- Securing viscera in place. Ripe for…

  Φ

  Hands rest  In pockets, Fingers pinch An inseam – let go  And secure  Flesh for fabric. (where has the time gone?) Faith in  Corporeal  Structures, categorizes  Conscious content  To relay another happenstance And create the moment, Despite what it’s not.  Foregoing another minute, Quiet breaks… Piano melodies inhabit vibrations, Teasing the eyes to distinguish truth …

  History Restricts What Time Gives (and love too)

  1. A railing design, wracked in nuance, habituates purpose to normalize the human lean. A bird perches on the pole, uses it as a stage to croon and seduce potential lovers. An ant wanders out of rank and file, begins to climb up the rod in honor of the Hive, to service the Queen. It…

  Revolution. Only You Win and Now You’re the Government Everyone Hates

  Decisions calibrated to a coin flip signifies humanity’s assurance in empty gestures, to fill the gap bridging choice and consequence.  Illusory standards disrupt the caustic fruit fly, appearing like static in the peripheral eye-line. Murder impulse remains to remove the annoyance. (Swat) and the deed is done. A universe diluted with solo involvement, without recognition…

  Art as an “Investment”

  A wart overtook the artist’s knuckle, preventing their wrinkles from attempting full bloom. Inside their bedroom, low wattage bulbs approved weak shadows whose tint intermingled with the blemish’s eclipse, making it difficult to distinguish where their flesh clumped up to form the bump.  In order to recoup their losses on art supplies and wart remover,…

  Writing Letters to a Ghost.

  A splash of almond milk imprinted a dot underneath the W key of my keyboard. Fingernail analysis decreed my index nail, to be the most equipped, in removing the blemish. I scratched at it. Multiple W’s sequenced horizontally across my Word doc. I began to delete them, but as the cursor approached the final W,…

  Panopticon Viewership for Influencers

  1. A history text-book was left open on the dashboard,  Through the windshield, read a statement, highlighted in green: “The State is a recent invention.” Accepting this concept,  Martha entered the Mall And proceeded to shoplift various items She considered crucial for her survival.  Red eyeshadow to disguise her laugh-lines. Make-up remover wipes to take-off…
