#254 The Cultivation of Ideas

He stands at the
end of a diving
board, the pool a
palette with limited
colors. Or so it

seems. & yet. The
man reflects upon
the pool. He has no
idea how deep it
is. Until the dive.

#253 Table, Ocean and Fruit

We are beyond frustrated.
He finally has real reviews
by real people. My hair has
become healthier. We live

in a house overlooking
the ocean. But we both
appear to have a texture
problem, either the toes of

clunky leather boots or/&
cuba libre & tropical fruit on
a wooden table. A player

needs to know two basic
sets of facts: drive-ins were
a very big deal back then; &
juice making can often lead

to exotic states. We're brand
new to power auras. Some-
times they just crash. What
is it we are doing wrong?

#252 This is a Piece of Cheese

for Yoko Ono

This is a piece of the old Atomium, in the Delft University of Technology
This is a piece of information that is used to support a main idea
This is a piece of genre Koten from the Chikuho Ryû & Oshu Kei Schools
This is a piece of socio-political commentary
This is a piece of relationship advice.

This is a piece of paper I hand cut
This is a piece of some sort of map
This is a piece of code
This is a piece of metal folded over one edge of the disk
This is a piece of wood. Is this interesting?

This is a piece of three strand nylon rope
This is a piece of coral received from Captain Bob
This is a piece of thylacine cartilage
This is a piece of cloth that covers the face
This is a piece of another paragon's encasing amber.

This is a piece of a basalt pillow
This is a piece of cardboard so doesn't include a battery
This is a piece of cutwork lace that begs the question
This is a piece of machinery that simply isn't meant to be airborne
This is a piece of hardware that allows one item to take the place of several.

This is a piece of the Berlin Wall
This is a piece of metal in the eye
This is a piece of California's past
This is a piece of prime real estate
This is a piece of sky. Hold on to it.

This is a piece of art
This is the only piece of art we've left on the Moon
This is a piece of reality so dense that it goes beyond art
This is a piece of cheese
This is a piece of my puzzle now.

#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?
