Rimbaud Simple Rewrite

 In the recovery stage, vowels will need immediate recolouring, seers will seem. History shall gather to the table edge. One will see by not exactly seeing, like every human plant. In time, one and all will find display, on tickets of electron thru a nuclear process. Popes and Pharoahs will finally die by blending into present monied splendour. From space, quasar will mark the beat, breathless observers will sigh. High above the edge a new edge will be born. Absinthe will have to do more dirty work, more acrostics. Morphemes and phonemes will require a hard look, the oceans will fade All this trouble will be rewarded by all that trouble, once the trouble has been shot. So again the Commune rises, garnished with radical in the square root sort of sound off. What impression a green leaf leaves in musical diligence will produce positive charge. We gather by sort and blend, on this actal day, on this matter day. Anyway, history, or what’s left of it. You can imagine Paul Verlaine’s sub...

New Alphabet

  Rimbaud stood upon  un balcon , assessing the febrile allocation of human space below. No metaphors survive, only the priceless squawk of Verlaine (Paul), in the rough hands of intoxication. Rimbaud may not even have seen the words, the passing traumas, the skulking vocabulary lading the streets below.  Squalour  remains the verbal remnant of the royal unleashing. Colours defray the cost of straining language, as if such noise could be heard or listened to. The Seine or any other cousin of the Nile invites comparison to shit,  merde , the remaining afterhours onus. Nothing in the world weighs more than preposition, and logically nothing can. Word by word Rimbaud takes an earnest flight of  poésie , the glockenspiel of romance. The skidding impact and downright crack restoreth nothing in long vivid rapping of pen strokes on paper. On paper, Verlaine proved a great poet, forsooth, trim cadence. Rimbaud turned. The thing,  le mot  , remains as the ...

The Young Rimbaud

  In Egypt, with plenty of Pharaohs fitfully thru time, Arthur Rimbaud arrived, born on the intoxicating floods of the Nile River. As a famous river, the Nile could feed young Arthur properly, with ideas of flooded landscapes and taxonomies of timeless reputations. Deities of a florid sort would suggest sudden moments, and Arthur would react with crash and aplomb. He was a spirit and his was a spirit, et cetera. In the few years of its existence, the Nile has taken on incredible feasance. So much insistence on somewhere, to the lowest level. Arthur could only be taken. It seems like a vast effort, with remarkable power, yet vindication is near. Thus Arthur saw the world, Arthur Rimbaud, with the rapturous waters performing as his eyes. The buoyant Pharaohs, rooted so heavily in the sands of time, and the marshes thereof, drew gods and goddesses as witnesses to wild words and sandstone. Wind filled the space between actions, and Arthur’s words formed airy islands and earmarks, colou...

Next Rimbaud Last

  Rimbaud stood propped against the ice as would be expected. Blue as peace time refrigerators, yet still warm to the touch. He had corsairs in mind, with the courage of abutments. Pressured to succeed further than beyond the most word eye, live until dead, so they say. And the slave trade slave trade slave trade, a ratiocination of perplexity for a mind seeking vowels and colours athwart world impatience and time situated outside of time, inside deluge. And thus finally thus purls of explanation settle in. And we think about code.

Some Sentence

  Get up in saturday, prior to sunday, day after friday. Light, a fire. Over yonder, a horizon seeps into view. Sentiment of dawn, sunrise, an establishment of Day in beginning. What are the odds? The colour purple, the colour blue. Against a backdrop of postwar oak leaves—green, brown, and other important hues—Jack Spicer became a poet of the ages. This significant occurence quantified nothing in exacting measure. He spoke to Lorca and reread Rilke. Those who he disliked he loved with a stretching universe. He enjoyed the commonal of magic. His poems, since then (Death and all) , have become tips for winning the seventh race at Hialeah, or any fit paroxysm. Naturally tho still oddly, he didn’t believe in Florida, but Hialeah Race Track just proved drill, and the relations of the junior and senior poets so untested. We shall speak further of exploits. Red ink shall never bear the weight. Especially. Sundays that should be Saturdays, but at least aren’t Monday or god forbid Tuesday....

Some Generous Aspects

  Anyway . They came up with something called poetry, bless the gods or martians. It was meant as an actual transference, with time indicated by musical notes or at least a sonic imitation of interest.  Well now .The web in which poetry could be constructed would slightly envelope those trained to perceive it, or somehow they would join factions and enumerate active participation in something called language, tho the instigating gods and martians really weren’t that tuned in to the repercussions of such assumptions and fever of sighing.  So anyway . Flowers could be seen disporting in crisp morning light, their fragrance would saturate certain words, and people would become goodlooking, moments at a time. Yes, there was only one ‘time’, sloppily edited by something called  perchance , which caused a burdensome dependence on catching the so-called glimmers of what the gods and martians swore were not essences, merely clock ticks in the eternal classroom.  But rea...

Patience

  Larks in morning brightness, no one talks. Glistening field and being there in time. Our appointment has been harvested. The directive stays clear and worth the many steps to. Love will still be, aftermath of before. All remaining notes will band together and on the song will go.
