splat! the fat cat

a vector of absolutism

absolutely fragrant crap

forget that rooster, he said

for his next tumblr meme; one forgot

emptiness precludes a 1 percent promise.

chant, i promise You (comma) U S of A

Corporatization blinds our future!

destiny so sweet

a fart in the wind of hope

actually, it was hopefully change,

it being ineluctable

these wheels rolled too many miles

to teeter on the brink of manifest

duplicity; eye tooth of knave gnaws

off the selvage knowing

the consequence of drinking tea with four

paws. one must demonstrate gentile logic

tease with a bit of breaded flounder

slowly digesting, the yawn of duplicity

red banner suspends belief and shall

loom darker than a Kansas dustbowl

fields gone american gothic, tumult cries

I surmise we shall hear many rats.

It’s not a matter of (corporatization)
But (interpretation), (Sequester) my thoughts
And they will crow like a (rooster) of a (meme)
Unconnected sounds of a personal made (selvage)
I (forget) the meaning of my words,
And (flounder) in a (consequence) of seeming (duplicity).
If you ignore even the comma in the (loom) of my speech
My meaning will (teeter) on the brink of an (ineluctable) (emptiness)
And be naught but a (fragrant) (fart)
An abscess in want of the (tooth) fairy.
A (chant) I cannot (demonstrate) in the (actual)
Another (drive) to the silence of a dumb (destiny) within discourse

(Splat). There goes another silence.
I cannot situate my thought.
I attempt to (suspend) from my language the (vector)
Of imaginative intent.
Then in a (tumult) of poetic fancy
I find myself in a (vector) of idealization and possibility.
Lost between the modern and the post-modern
I flounder between a poetry and prose.
Shall I (suspend) critique of my aesthetic judgment
And hope only to say what I mean
To be heard only for what I say?
I look at what is written and know I know not how language speaks.

Sorry. Will not post again. I shall become a nuisance, but I couldn’t pass by what I felt to be a challenge. Have checked as well as I could – hope I got all the words. Thank you.

It’s not a matter of (corporatization)

(Sequester) my words
Within the (rooster) of a (meme)
And my thought will find no (selvage)
I will (forget) their meaning,
And (flounder) in a (consequence) of seeming (duplicity)
If you ignore the comma in the (loom) of my speech
My meaning will (teeter) on the brink of an (ineluctable) (emptiness)
And be naught but a (fragrant) (fart)
A abscess in want of the (tooth) fairy.
A (chant) I cannot (demonstrate) in (actuality)
Another (drive) to the silence of a dumb (destiny).

Please note: this is all in fun, hopefully.

Just found this posted while exploring what they had on Loreen Lee on the Web. Have ordered the rest of McCumber’s books, and am also reading some works by Habermas, who to my mind ‘transcends’ the other critical theorists. Thanks for the hint on the Vita Nuova. I want to make use of Dante in my ‘book’ and will work more on it once I assimilate better the developments in philosophy. Thanks for your reply. I’ve found my predecessors, Dante, as well as Augustine, but I have my doubts on my capacity to live up to these models, even of Menippean Satire. The whole things needs ‘rewrite’, constant ‘rewrite’….I like to think of it as ‘Spiritualist-Feminism’ (irony here)

Loreen: take a look at Dante’s Vita Nuova which is both a work of creative non-fiction, a confession, a series of love poems, and at the same time, a textbook on poetry forms written in the vernacular as well as a classic blue print for the last stages of the cult of courtly love. Amazing book. Thanks for writing in. I post a lot of things like this on the Joe Weil morning face book show.

Dear Joe Weit:
Just found your blog, as I began on on WordPress about the end of June. It is called poeticinteraction, a word I hope I am not
‘stealing’ from McCumber (Univ. of Chicago). Also I used poetic praxis and thought I’d google it, and found you. I’ve started out with a biography in which I attempt to contrast my interpretation of my interactions back in the sixties with how I might interpret this today. My attempt at being ‘concrete’. But then I find this, and am really in praise of your interactive drawing in the audience to follow your example. So I hope that you post often, because I would love to learn from the interaction. I believe though that you are far more knowledgeable than I am. So glad I’ve found your blog.
