Tick Tock Philosophy

"Forensics is eloquence‎ and reduction"  -Gertrude Stein

This was trying to make - at some point - a point about Bergson's inadequate notion of time - which emphasizes a "continuity of becoming" - rather than a more Whiteheadian "becoming of continuity."  Perhaps it is a strange defense of Baudelaire -- against the Poundian: "la continuite (sic) n'est pas artificiel" (pardon the French, pardon the hellish mistranslation) - Baudelaire had a book "les paradis artificiels" - which Pound had a problem with.  

Ferocity plus disinterest

equals what?

Celebrity against

failure

I means business

to write shorter bursts

Hors d'oeuvres that live up to their name

(outside the work)

Just kidding but

seriously doesn't anyone understand

"purpos‎iveness without purpose"

(think aimless goals, accidental design)

This ain't no roadside picnic

but who cares?

Yes, I don't care

Don't force me to compete

stronger in the tumult

Of the many

Of the no more

Of the don't ask don't tell

That stabbing sensation

Times out

Quarter horses

To soar or sing

Of damage

Irrelevant to pleasure

The concept engine

Con game

Cruelty for a day

For ideal card counts and thieves

Thumbed under the sign

Cleansed in comfort

Lacking vision

Muscle memory (pause of play)

Somewhere in the history of chewing gum

the oscillation of molars

Involuntary vision

separates form & concept

In the dirt collector’s dream   

little nouns aerate soil

What does not kill

brackets us one bug at a time

Improbable but with full orchestration

At ease with unease

Only the dead know nothing

what is it to live

to block the thought that arrives

to sustain affirmative forgetting

Rushing station to station

to lose the habit

one pays to acquire

so-called histories

with the more musical names

Rumba or Cha-Cha

Rhomboid dream whose felt operands

map out incongruent math

to clear Parades of equations

How sound rises to swallow thought

The weight of the tongue a tourniquet where

words check themselves at the door
