the exercise
you would think
the elemental
too nearly
rudimentary
aperture
an unusual effort
her guise
on the water as it were
kissed each toe
caused a series of depressions
such scenarios
another pass through
lines of a buttock
after shutting off all the nights
it would be many years before
the color blue underneath
we each have our days
swinging door of the kitchen where other
thereof
vivisection
Stripped Text 2
with hope of things
two knuckle widths
rain's falling
at any rate, onward
off the line
some sort of epic flatulence
as if the rocks themselves were creaking
urging the water to boil
as transpires in any cranium
perception is circular
as inclusive as writing could be
our processed image of food
co-existent with the habitual use
Stripped Text 3
small but necessary
each time with its concomitant space
a nuclear comedy
remembering to excavate
yawn of a trapeze
mostly standing water
now seems more evident
sundry
delay of synapse
book slid across a carpeted floor
native tongues
slow and seemingly random
absolutes
Stripped Text 4
closed the windows tight on fingertips
completes an original consideration
of writing
leitmotif
in a vacuum
Stripped Text 5
one's priorities stretched to distortion
on and on
Stripped Text 6
what's the matter with the subject
the comatose
inspiration, as a dictionary would have it
too near or not far enough
it has a tickle
there's the attention of this
looked both ways before crossing
watched the spray leap as high as a tree
Stripped Text 7
language implies meaning
inner flexibility
the line declined
the dog that barks in the back yard
near a flame
absolutely necessary
to be consistent
is writing
the multiplicity
a poison believed
what criteria
our brains
borderline
Stripped Text 8
six eggs on a black background
fractured here thought might mend
hair lifting above the horizon
let's
the wide
a movement, a culture
causing ships to go
Stripped Text 9
personality
is oral manipulation of nouns
of reader's teeth and reader's toes
between
breathing cross-legged
concrete poem of a heartbeat
opening in the floor
the language its own assurance
flipped pages
walking
an illusion that eludes the sharpest
breaking down
Stripped Text 10
travel through pages, impenitent
whistle would bring the bird
in some space the past must be present
by borrowing indiscriminately
what you haven't expected is getting more
before it runs
poor dog
leafing through itinerant radio stations
toward the line
a convergence and a cacophony
more scores than one would think about
Stripped Text 11
an editorial I guess
is fatal
multiplication in the first person
blot
legible, if you could stretch it
breeze cooled by rain cooling open rooms
heretofore, hegemony the norm
sources other than the hereafter
spacious parlors
nothing's matter
two weeks to twenty-five
soon to sleep
Stripped Text 12
Introducing perturbation into the system
Stripped Text 13
part of the value of art is it makes us
used to make
poor little house suffused with stress
Stripped Text 14
sky poised and wing tip
tie up a few loose ends
anyone waiting for another season
one took hand
much of the work is wonder
not come to the end of it
never does
crossed eye
to fix to the beginning
looped foul
below the navel
but if you inquire further
Stripped Text 15
the last traces of naturalistic convention
allowing such distinctions as a sway
is sand
competence conditioned to fear
we had all
some complexity coaxed of simpleness
absolute sinuous
often
Stripped Text 16
candle in an other room
fumbling syllables, fake identification
select obligatory phrases
reverse
the kill to
Stripped Text 17
chin in a coffee cup, up and down
reverse intentions that once were honest
most aboriginal achievements
a barn's house
the very bottom of the line
right hand to ear, a question mark
Stripped Text 18
by which you and I are sated
no apparent relation to an entire page
sometimes it's sluggish
and he puts it away
the specific accent of demand
monumental structure of loose ends
spilling spectators
reflection of a wall person
no writer
flying
Stripped Text 19
by lightning
padded with pins
there would be no camouflage
letters crowded with letters
and finally there is something new
perpendicular to state of mind
sun in upper right hand corner
Stripped Text 20
then fluidity
yes, it will have internal references
echo filled with its own
terms of endearment
picking up books and instruments
astonishing and unaccountable
that very terrain for kite flying
Stripped Text 21
marked the anniversary of
her face with a broken mirror
bottom up
empty
rain
lighting the east wall
Stripped Text 22
there is much work to be undone
Stripped Text 23
it intends to be encompassing
and wind
bent at an angle of anyone's choice
strafing the obnoxious composer
is both life and death
the end
period
