limits



____________________________

  the limits of ideas like camille  paglia's   (like her mentor Bloom and others of that ilk) is she doesn't take them far enough.   which is usually the case    with idea snatchers . a bit here and a bit there but they don't run far enough with them and in her case what appears to be literary criticism __ whatever that is __ turns out to be an idea of history based on the mythology idea, the imposing idea of Apollonian versus Dionysus man versus woman/nature.



i started reading her ages ago but forgot about but because i am concerned with poems and she writes about poems sometimes i decided to read her book Personae (....l) .


 but it's not really a book at all. its a yelling | a  loud  session |  the negative in full swing| but its good| but does not go far enough that's the problem   in my opinion with having a teacher, or mentor, or whatnot whose own views are limited by the horizon of the negative i.e. Bloom, and others. It's not so much that they are wrong, they are often not wrong in specifics, but the

view they espouse is ultimately the horizon of the negative


 and she says this in bold black and white . man is a fearful being fearing castration by the woman and as soon as reading that

I thought she's just dead wrong


shes on the back track

shes a priestess of the negative

    this is not true and its not where its at . its the whole negative freudian thing

re adverb draft_ MOre

Ok, then what is a verb?

Re: adverb draft


No one knows what a verb is. A verb aint a noun, it aint a crown, its not ground or being, but is it becoming , is it passive or engaged negative, positive first case,  upper case lower case capital I and You.

 Who is the verb? some say its this some say its that.

   and that is that.its not fat and a cat.


i walked on the beach today picking up crap

   is that a verb it got hot i hadnt eaten is that a verb

tomorrow they're protesting the imperial rise of surveillance in the surveillance state of the society of everyone watching everyone


    is this a verb that sentence contruscted of hungry thoughts? toast/
                                                (what a lovely typo!)        
                                   


 toast, tea, me, thee, a wee sounding on the sea,
   the boats, beach, memory of John and
     memory and the water
   they say we    in that book Paglia claims cultured life's a struggle agains the chthonian  (a horrible word which is complely nuts to pronunce so screw it!) force of nature
   
   i read her impelling sentences , really not sentences but demands __ almost commands

     tacking their high speed in her book,

telling me this and these things
  but as I cam e home last

   night and i am saying yes yes yes to this pithy truth  or that   partial one

as theyre all partial

  but as I am walking down 'some dark street'

    and the jungle life-atmosphere of being lost for a moment rouses that old      ,.... in my breast


 I do look up
   I halt I look up

    that vaulting late night sky

           one star,,  two planets, another star, then another and another and , look, over there,

peeping up,  peering out,  & beside & beside
    & behind, around,
 working there,  grinding here,

pushing a whole sky a universe of star and strung space

between the heaping skies of what word for it between those cosmoses



  and the earth is small its chthonian  (that horrible word again) force mostly gravity really

   and this is not bad or good, or bad or god,
call it immanence , transcendence
___________________________________ what she does is split it all| down the mid|dle!
                                                                                                             ch op               ch  op|




  there's no duality and there is
its both of  the same shop

two stop overs at the same station

right some like that

   & more

______________________  but its the struggle between her static notion of history that's off and one can say wrong, if not wrongheaded.
  but she's close to being on to what's what  at least to some extent but . when she starts talking decadence well then the bottom falls through.


what decadence ? what does she mean/ she never says as she does not know. she mixes an idea of decadence with an other notion of late capitalism

as if she'd mixed Jameson's ideas  with Bloom's notion of the evening stage of western literary expression. the latter is a complete melancholic projection of the man's own pyschology and where Fredric Jamesson ends we begin.

i was ...

____________________

I was not beautiful where I lay... running around in my head, that line, which as it turns out, does not exist, not previously that is to me saying  it

                                         But it puts me in mind of , or reminded me or echoed   ,   rhythm wise  ,


   the one Stephen Dedalus wrote (in Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man)

about being weary of where he lay

   and the 'fallen seraphim'

 it's odd, amazing, fascinating, how the echo of a line, one's not read in years, and even decades, might crop up like
that 

 'taking the mickey ' out of one, as it were,   and there it is, echoing in the heart mind or mind heart or rhythm
 heart 
   and it's connected to how he felt, how he felt about his looks, not being 'beautiful, ' as if one ever were, or had to be , bu t in a world of conjunctions

one's sometimes,   forced as it were to conceive oneself this way, and    'they say' men don't do that, i mean think  of themselves in terms of beauty

 and not beauty

  he was not beautiful where he lay    he lay in the hard stone of the pavement like the young woman yesterday outside of the day before outside of the

metro in Verdun

  and O how she smiled when he gave her some money, for her collection, sitting there she was ,

no more than, say, twenty two? and she was weary, he could see, wary  and weary where she lay,
but her spirit tipped up

  and she smiled too, when she saw the amount , surprised saying Merci, and Thank you her spirit lifted up and he 'good luck'    and on the way he wondered how she'd come to such a pass as to be sitting on her butt, on her ass, sitting on her ass  , outside of the metro station, the young woman
  that in spite of any of that, she rose up,  and smiled thank you  and her spirit would carry her then, two hours
perhaps

he didn't know about that nor about beauty
                                        with the exception of believing he was not beautiful.

and someone told him that word does not belong to you. you can't use that word. what are you? what's the matter with you, anyhow?

 He tottered on the blank sheet of paper holding his head, high jinks to the high heaven.

Yesterday .. .

_________________

   He suffered  ... he couldn't find his body. No one found it. the day before a brief glimpse ... a touch in passing .. then he remembers what loss is.

  Loss is what was and no more. No more is of was? was is was. his was . he was there but not a stranger in passing this glass of glimpse into the rare form of self.

She was suffering his suffering  glancing at him in the mirror of her sunglasses. No one's touched him in, as they say, a long time. Too long to remember . But the pain of its absence is a memory to behold. suffering the what was not. Nor isn't and the how to in the loss of the mouth  in the moment  of its present.


He walked. turned the corner. boarded the bus. crowded dogs swarming on him he's gone a death blow to the sudden subject and no more. but the existence that justifies itself at the edge of the economy.


 O that economy. That book.   Yes, in the summer of their advent. No troubles tear them apart limb from limb worse than the troubles of their summer . that's no more. ruled by rules of the talking grammar of the god assent to the language powers that be . determining his self.


 what breaths in this hour but suffering loneliness, debt, so long, a word, debut.


how to announce oneself when dying . and the stranger coming going, going and coming, its recompense spent. Freed from this double summer spent? a hoarse voice whispering in the gallery. a smashing bird's next. torment for the one who's heard of all too much.

He's lost there. He was alone. Walking. the bus. then missed it, gets on the back, changing seats she's clustered his walking on with his hate.


 Loneliness, which almost has the word lioness in it, is the dog that's torn the river. which was not a river, but the rapids of the back-spent pages.

A man dying of his worried worth? let's have no self pity here, no one's applauding least of all his friends.


 He was brooding. No never brooding but it wondered at him this hour.

He was there, in the city, it's dark tent cloy on him.

A dog down by night.

 He was the river extraordinaire suffered by the waves of its algae its laughter. One's not so easy to finish as this.
   As the eyes can't see what heaven knows?  we'll come back to this. in the days that come. overbearing like a rune in the sky.

Cinema Calendar Of The Abstract Heart - 09

the fibres give in to your starry warmth
a lamp is called green and sees
carefully stepping into a season of fever
the wind has swept the rivers' magic
and i've perforated the nerve
by the clear frozen lake
has snapped the sabre
but the dance round terrace tables
shuts in the shock of the marble shudder
new sober

_______________

be interesting to do a comparative study between these first book poems of
Tzara against some of the weaker poets doing attempted, and i say attempted advisedely,
imitation of this style which Tzara invented, at least from the surrounding rhizomes. trouble with some of the imitators is they dont they are doing so

Should also point out that Tzara never punctuated any of his poems _ his prose poems yes, but not the others....
a strength which appears feared in the english language which we can deterritorialize enuff

  tues . was a painful day  . in every sense. hauling books, missing buses, hating  being angry / crying
 tears (tarts the word's in there somewhere) scald the skin got/off the bus/ was going nuts/ walked /waited/ was 'angry'
   and the legs sore
               the shoe don't fit
 as it did last week

                       and  loneliness pierces worse than a dagger
                               the prison the convalescence of the prisoner goes on forever



 walking along the river was hateful wind cold and light was  slipping away
  and some imagined lunatic on the bus not letting me see

or so i thought

 a s i m so full of my self

it became all self reproach

.

  what bus is this that waits keeps us waiting

  what life's this? but then again think of those others under the skies of planes which bomb
      their cities ruined destroyed   'on the world tv screen' and the rulers that be
 their endless war on others who always appear to be helpless   .

--------------------------

  but then I went to a meeting got better spoke a bit got some things off of my chest
    going there always helps whether i m happy or in another state and I was glad
to see the new chap there the one i'd seen before working witha  newer person
always helps getting oneself out of oneself

 so we walked and chatted some and i'll probably see him tomorrow and do another meeting

 and that freed me to think of other things   having gotten out of myself for a time

less self and more other


  (someone i knew was speaking and i'd like the talk )




-------

  reaading Olsen's poetry infuriates me
     some thing self indulgent about it  in the worst way i've never quite gotten him
perhaps i'm prejudiced by having heard him first i mean seen him first and some  measure of self pity there as it were as he's moaning and groaning and the Man was a Giant I
think he was 6feet 7 inches
 and massive towering yet the
moan  in the words he uttered

i've never quite gotten him
but then im not american

 (he meant a lot to american poetry in the 50s )
     (canada's poetry problems are not identical and perhaps we are more self identified in the world as the trajetory of english the english tongue through the commonwealth carries another resonance or another distinction  (a becoming? an overturning of nationalist values as such )  and 'english' canada
s agon with french  (&vice versa) is something americans have not had to deal with )

   but then i didnt live when he did
i dug Pound   but never quite got what the others purportely following him did

 i've never quite gotten Robert Duncan or any of those guys Spicer, the drunk
drinking himself to death   ... what kind of aesthetics is that  or what sort of poetics is that?

and Robert Duncan i was never much into his work as such his poetry .. his ideas on the other hand were interesting but even there i've never really followed them  in any serious enough way...
and Frank O Hara he whose work I used to like so much I read him rarely if at all...

  and the same with ashberry i never got much of out his work... 
i heard him reading as they call it a  few years back
and it was like watching a corpse ....

---------------------------------------


it's a strange business this writing business . this poetry life.  but there are! dozens! i like!

so what hey ho! let them be!  
                           grace to them!

 in my little van gogh apartment



 ____________ a couple of weeks ago
                                       a little captialist that i know

                                     said i choose (it's your choice )
                                                                        my   'lot' is one of putting what was said
' i
   choose my suffering

                             '

   that's a funny thing to say   choose: what is choose?


                 where have  i heard these words before


  back in the old days

_______________ Notes, thoughts, things going through my head   (which is at the top of my heart )  (my heart like anyone's is a mysterious place a ......... what's the word? something that I need to find  ... opppsss there's that the 'capital'  i          






  cornichons rhymes with bouchon




some people enlarge us/others shrink us


  they say a photograph steals one's soul     (hahaha how does one write 'laugh'?)

   what then does a poem do? ___   offers portal to better places    __ at best the line(s) of flight creating bypassed and roads to better head (and naturually  body places) the body places |


music , on the other hand,is a pile of shit| when it disgraces us with its false routes out to the song ' of death and self destruction| so many hundreds of so called songs are blasted with self induced malaise, miserable nostalgia, and the music buries the feeling, it  wipes it across 'guitar' chords.  where the intesnity of an emotion and its greatness comes from something, if it's worthwhile at all, that cannot be buried. im saying this as i just heard some awful gush on france culture and elsewhere today    .

      i shut it    off   .

  a voice speaking in the margins

   mais les marginaux sont quoi?









 re: Montreal __ the memory of a city .   . no  . it's time for me to go.     i hate what's been done to it, it's not the place I knew and loved,

it's become a small retracted place definging itself by the petty race of langauge 'laws' the death of culture and not its celebration

 the hundred or more 'festivals'  contain many imagitive and wonderous things however, they are in my view also a burial site of what's not said 

  of what's erased daily hourly the loss of street names,

    of roads,
  of schools

forcing immigrants to speak the so caled majority language all of it is typical of the


 yes that's an incomplete sentence

  so what of it?

 and one


(phone note to self) 

a man with a  sore back/ & broken teeth does the whirl
 around with a woman from across the sea

  d reams yesterday night a city  i am lost

   where am I?

does the i become I? as happiness might be found?



_______________

who are the song of green and winter?

   there are greater cities in the world
  where art pours off the buildings and steams off the street. what sacrifices were made.

   i am  or i've spent so much of my life living on the fear or at the sense that  an act of violence is coming

          my nerves jump /my back
      's ready for the hit

       a tense machine waiting for hurt

   .  writing often provided a way out  / if it doesnt  ill give it up
  do collage

   stand on my head

           go piss on the waves

   of the nearby 'lake' or estuary

light

`


is this the dark night of timber and rain the heat across the heart?
what languor stretches  the moon over a field the fire
   the white found
 quiet
   as the withdrawn sun
            and you are blanketed by the thing that loves us

                  the rain speedily falling following down running after the things it loves
         that love wonders the pure cerulean sky and
   it is the word that's beautiful  in this the cerulean firmament far flung with clouds
spattered across its infinite surface of

            blue beyond blue
