Crg Hill's poetry scorecard

Found Haynaku: In that wordless twilight (Ben Katchor)

between

the final

disappearance of the

 

day’s

late editions

and the midnight

 

debut

of tomorrow’s

paper—there arrives

 

on

the otherwise

barren newsstands of

 

this

city a

preternaturally limp, gray

 

tabloid:

Brassiere Strap

Slips

 

Banner Lag

 

Language constructs. Within language, alphabets construct. Suggestions of individual letters, words, lines/spaces          construct.  The buildings flame–give off, take in, glow, haze, not not light, not not dark. How do we make our say in all of this?

from The Hay(na)ku of Spiro Agnew

Show Biz

Nixon
is not
going to get

involved
with any
kind of sideshow.

from The Hay(na)ky of Spiro Agnew

The Common Man Speaks

I
had endured
the didactic inadequacies

of
the garrulous
in silence...

from The Hay(na)ku of Spiro Agnew

Schizophrenia

While
Agnew is
not a household

word
yet, few
people forget Spiro.

There was a

police

report of

a banged-up white

truck

ramming a car

at a

stop

sign on South

Jackson Street

and

then heading

north on Washington

Current State Of State Of?

“The

vice president

doesn't know what

branch

of government

he is in,

the

president doesn't

know what the

constitution

is, the

people don't know

what

the heck

is going on.”

-- Chuck Shumer, 6-27-07

Pete Domenici’s DUI (Driving Under Ignorance):

“but

I think

the American people,

in

their usual

good sense, are

going

to wait

around for a

while

and say,

‘Mr. President, you’ve

taken

us down

a lot of

roads

in Iraq

let’s go down

this

one and

see if it

works.'”

Scientists Discover Singing Iceberg

Scientists

monitoring earth

movements in Antarctica

say

they've found

a singing iceberg.

The

sound waves

cannot be heard

by

humans, a

frequency of 0.5 hertz

but

they resemble

a swarm of

bees

or an

orchestra warming up.

"Once

the iceberg

stuck fast, it

was

like a

rock in a

river,"

she said.

"The water pushes

through

its crevasses

and tunnels at

high

pressure and

the iceberg starts

singing.

The tune

even goes up

and

down, just

like a real song."
