EPISODES OF BLEEDING

EPISODES OF BLEEDING

Hospitals and pelvises
consume all understanding
where your conclusions
are libraries of societies
and arteries of spasms
all leading toward
convalescence

Oh, dear tibia,
measure the strength
of her mind and restraints -

Provide true blindness
whenever I think of June

Or August with a gasp
of happiness

The push of newspaper
quotes expresses
that hurt will cease

When retrospection
is transfused
and recreated as
a solitary profession.

Hmm ... if they really meant "gigabit" ... 1 billion bits ... but not
bytes ... ?

I'd vote for DVDs, but maybe there's something about data transfer and
format that makes it different.

O Wizards of USENET and computing! I invoke thee; answer us.

Sincerely,

More than 25 gigabits of imaging data, enough to nearly fill five

The Primary Source Is Not Important.

The Primary Source Is Not Important.


Eliot opens the wasteland with a quote from Dante
but I begin and end invoking imagery from Bosch,
even though a painting is harder to plagiarize in writing.

No translation, no footnote needed, since you know
this place already, and without a hundred extra lines.

Re: origin and corruption of digital trembling

Nice ... there's an old RCA VHS camera at one of the galleries where I
work/ hang out, that creates burned after-images and tracers and such.
I'm trying to think of something interesting to do with it. Short films
(few minutes) with kind of atmospheric guitar effects as a soundtrack
... ah! Now, that would be interesting, to have some dancing trails and
ambient music. Kick me if I do anything derivative ...

Man, your list of unknown (to me) involvements is amazing.

I walked around Brooklyn from
Coney Island to Greenpoint from
Bensonhurst to Brooklyn Bridge
into Manhattan and Soho where
a woman tried to sew me a coat
and

I met Alan & Azure on an icy day
and they made me tea and we talked
it was very nice with antique maps
and

I walked with a flower in my hat
and a few people smiled

Even I was puzzled

Who goes on vacation to New York
in December, anyway?
