#251 The Alarm Clock

          The alarm
clock tells me 
          it is time
          to get up-
          side down.

#250 Checkmate

Bored games. He
puts a pawn to his
head. The pistol

moves one space on
a black diagonal. What
checks depression?

The squares are empty
except for a sign in
one. Am I his avatar?

#249 The Marches of Summer

Cubes float. There are
parts of several torsos
piled one upon another
so they do not float
away. It is daytime.
The light comes from
inside the room. The
sky is / not the sky. Do

the clouds pass through
the cubes or vice versa?
No depth. Some trompe-
l'œil. Much grammar but
overall ungrammatical . . .
& the war inevitable.

#247 The Month of the Grape Harvest (2)

starts off with redundancy
& a table of mnemonic
devices. Anything can be
connected to anything else—
that's an underlying principle
of hermetic semiosis. Any-
thing can be connected; so,
the month finishes with
an occluded view as the
window is hermetically
sealed by an active blockade
of passive lookalikes who
render the shutters redundant.

# 246 The Mask of Lightning

Tootooch lived on the
flesh of whales. Mixing
it with cinnamon helped
add the golden tones.

Rod stares down the
Cyclops Queen—will
drinking turmeric in
milk twice a day or

channeling his inner
Lady Gaga help him
most? Gulls fill the skies
from one yellow horizon

to the other. Any pop
star diva would be
jealous. Find all the lines
from this movie which

exist as temporary
royalty in the realm of
the senses. Tomatoes have
lots of anti-oxidants. A

Red Flag warning has
been issued in southwest
Oregon. This is my ball.
My rubber ball. I've had

it for two years. It has
a chemical absorbent to
provide relief & came
to me through a vending

machine at PriceRite,
on NE 2nd Avenue. The
only thing this picture
is missing is an evil face.

#245 Le Cinéma Bleu

The balloon sinks, the
bilboquet floats. Fantômas
is alive & well & working

in a KFC somewhere
near the cinema precinct
south of the Coliseum.

Moonlights as a tourguide.
Day lights up the night.
Nothing is ever what it was.

#244 Le Coup au coeur

Women's power circles
are changing the face
of business. At $220 each
they're pricey; but now
that stainless steel face
can be replaced by any
one of a smorgasbord
of cheap inanimate
objects, whilst a QR code
reveals a previously un-
seen poster for the up-
coming Batman film.

Some things fall by
the wayside as our daily
lives become more &
more digital, but not the
"everyone is a winner"
philosophy so prevalent
in the suburbs or forcing
little girls to wear stiletto
heels whenever they go out
in public. If seeing the pink
of the rose is an illusion,
what's illusory about it?

#243 Act of Violence

The sky is oblong.
The clouds are not.

Looks more like a
tremendous explosion
or a patent leather
cosmetic makeup
case. Believe what you
see not what you are
told to believe. Graupel
is not the same as
hail or ice pellets.

A bell rolls towards
an apartment block.

Never take the elevator
when there is no bell
to push. Too many
minority students are
getting suspended. In
a Native American
sweat lodge a rapper
dies. Clenching her
eyes shut to hold back
the tears, Kazuko
rolls onto her side.

The hole in her
stomach seems
larger than
the usual navel.

She is unaware of
any missing cargo
but her breathing rate
may vary widely. Man-
kind has fought battles
on the sea for more
than 3,000 years. The
rings are banana-
shaped—a metal
bar can put a lot of
pressure on her
skin. Is she the
only person on
earth to have one
eye become larger
than the other
post childbirth?

#242 The New Years

In the closed circles of
psychic apparati, exposed
navels emphasize the
rural-urban rift. It is
from this dark rift that
the winter solstice sun
will emerge, offering
a single world with a
dichotomy of semantics
in which objects co-exist
with primitive types. More
problematic in theory
than in practice, it tends
towards a reductionist
framework. On the day
of the second new moon
after the December solstice
the new years begin.

#241 Merman Hanging from a Gibbet

Harlequin diamonds are

must-haves for fashion-

able women, now that

they are back on the map

for 'it' handbags with new

styles & such modern

colors as Waterlily Pink 

& New Bronze available.

& in the home, unpinned,

stuck to the door, access-

orized with the movement

of a hanging merman, they

add a sense of drama &

visual tension to any space.
