"The diversion of baiting an author has the sanction of all ages and nations, and is more lawful than the sport of teasing other animals, because, for the most part, he comes voluntarily to the stake, furnished, as he imagines, by the patron powers of literature, with resistless weapons, and impenetrable armour, with the mail of the boar of Erymanth, and the paws of the lion of Nemea." --The Rambler, 176.
Notes from the Edge Conference.
fall into spring may go
fleeing with the goats
gray boards weathering
thaumaturge on the run
fall into spring must pass
pillar here pillar there
where cars are burning
gray boards weathering
fall into spring will move
goldengrove unleaving
learning the scuba breath
thaumaturge on the run
"Each
partition travelled
by graysquadrons."

A poem based on The Turn of the Screw by Isabel Nathaniel.
graysquadrons
obelisk-riddled
near an elevator
mannikins dance
the language changed
& i did not change
whacked with a tomahawk

impala once i had
how the car has changed
in those twisted slippery years
in the cliffwalk stumble plunge
for only so much of it
i can account
a few risky ventures
some thoughtlessness
i did come in time to regret
but what is regret
when all about you burns
impala burns
impala for fuel
in a year like no other

And stones to dust, and dust to nought at all..."

So much badly designed software...reflects the utter stupidity of our time, but even more inescapably...or rather (i see, as i have been given software to try to fix) it shows us the unpleasant spectacle of a maybe a decent enough designer prevented from doing a good job & forced to do a bad job, because of external factors (haste, budget, unsympathetic management) that nilpertains the problem to be solved.

where Westgate's fall holds court
sound of a car door shut
sound of releasing cork
but not yet lost to search
back-into-pumpkin coach
years without thinking of her
holding only memory, and then to study the minutes
how like a trumpet of the future it sounds."
She fed her wound with fresh renewed bale.."
