Being an artist means ceasing to take seriously that very serious person we are when we are not an artist. Jose Ortega y Gasset

SEAN'S EVIL

I/we ain't no accident
these things just can't be
all here just is
or is and be
will you invite
purposeless, trivial
to supper table?

- last place I want to look
for mooring or dinner plate
if as squall
in glade, crow's shore, disused promenade
ship captain's diary: bide
eons planting anagrams.
Thy lot's in man.

Fowl and sin.
I see girls.
VEILS. LINES.
SIN'S ALIVE, LIVES.
SEAN'S EVIL.

It's funny

If you want me
here take me
first tell me
what is me?
Pointilism?
Sloughing-off me?

Is equilibrium
worth ten dollars?
I can't pay today.
I'm down for layman's
exhumation - don't
require no interpretation.

As I am drunk like me
you can trouble me
cos you're a lot like me
you please me
for momentary slieghs on;
to hell with the rest of me.

Just walls and forks and
- I have feet?!
Suck on them already.
Step into bleedy.
Isn't this funny? It isn't
funny. O - it's funny.

Anger is what makes america

I'm sorry to report
the weather is lovely
today. It's disgusting.
You should be sorry.

No matter how strenuously
you wade against
the stream, you can't help
but survive 'not even
merely' genius but in

genuflection, in
nighttime you thrive
in five seconds you get
outta my sight, and 'all
the asshole can say is goodbye?!'

Beginning with quote from Nina Simone

Most people don't want to live how they live
Yu don't know how lucky you are to be you
O are you sad? But you haven't forgotten how to be mad?
You can be mad or we can go shopping.

You can impress your date.
How much is it worth to you, your fate?
I saw you by the piano longing to play.
Was that here, right now, or just another day?

You had to get, I have to get away.
Maybe I'll make a record; maybe not.
Then from slow rhetoric, any and all listeners -
Don't weep, don't die. Let's just rot.

In the vanguard

Thats the final thing I had to say to yu
I was ready to say more but you weren't listening anyway
all I wanted to say to yu
and yeah bitch you best believe me
is that too much rain will make your garden die
too much water makes the river overflow
noone's even lookin' out for you
but you've got your eye on the third person to the right of you
it's not that I want you to look in that direction
at least that's what I'm going to say in the
cold nite when we gotta do
what we never wanted to do again
it wasn't about the third time you flew to the sun
it wasn't about you at all
it was about how you acted when there was others in the room
this even isn't about the volume
in the room drifting wafting down the stairs in the mid- to-early- evenin'
sound wafts like smoke thats why martinis and weed go so well together.
This aint
even about the
button-
down shirt
this shit
isn't
actually good
that's
why
people are
steppin'
all over
you.
Act like
you don't see the love in front of you
act like its time
to go home as if anyone will be waiting for you to get home
and there's a reason to have a home.
Just cos you ain't got noone there
you think that gives you the right
to force all the the sad
acquaintances in your life to swallow
the bullshit you carry around as carcass?
You aren't in the vanguard
you aren't even living in this city
at this time.

Go storytime

It's all got to come down to who you are being in the moment
in the morning of high regard
you get the floss while I get the sword
you go home

while I go board you go home
and I go hard
you go storytime

I go to bed
hungry
I garnish plate you then throw it against wall

it's not the hardest or most natural
daylight we can get for our
picture or your paintings

this best light of day,
it's really just the best we can get.

Infinity is running low

dont thank me
forsake me
dont invite me in

if yu think im worthy
ive failed clearly
to let yu go

forgive me NOT x 3
(or else)

i repeat myself
(dont) open your heart
i repeat myself
(dont) beg for more
(dont) let 'em go

we are all
happy whores
happily
tooting our horns

i repeat myself
(don't) open your heart
i repeat myself
i am your whore
i beg for more

infinite jest, infinite trust
infinity running low

Life ain't always a celebration. . .

Two errata

The first error is performed even repeated throughout everyday discourse on trusted and unsuspecting acquaintances, partners, friends and probably it's best to avoid wielding this device in aggressively light-hearted interactions as the residual effects in that case are drastically divergent from these intended: to unnerve + to play dumb for one greatly admired, break into own expected/predictable/unidentifiable question/response/polite attention pattern abruptly + unannounced with articulations along the continuum of '. . . but yu wouldn't like me when I'm the one who's made mistake, as I quickly follow one mistake with many others, such as murder, assassination of the utmost foul endeavour, I could make you hurt for a short time or a long time, i could crush you, take your fate as a solicitor of wrath, the felicity in suffering. . . yes, I could definitely go for that sometime. . .' to 'don't you love raping young children?! in fact, this staircase we're passing thru currently is an ideal spot to drag limp body, halve them, and have your way - just as I plan to do with your body in due time. . .' all the while, intensifying and severing quietly - malevolently - identification your (preferably solitary) audience member has been allowed to believe in; sever these ever-so-briefly, disrupt your kindness but DO RETURN as perversely and in as unsettling a manner as possible even returning (after also decidedly-severing previous, recognizable, expected stances and mannerisms) your body to what is now made precious, preferred, a haven of sense: banter, deep-thought, kindness, and reverie.


Erring twice: Noble but orphaned, sliver is discovered by a crawler. Crawler at night - or in day bright - is swaying, inside. Confident, consistent waving leads crawler to lift. Lifting in rhythmic motion, ass then hands are as if wrung-up by marionette. This sliver is grasped between two powerful fingers. And sliver must be unwound, returned to fibrous sinew. Undoing. The crawler is a crawler no more, but now and then standing assayer. Sway, unwind, sugarcane. Even a small sliver of culture or pulp may take years to renew. It'll be worth it to undo man.
