[HaroHalola]

What'll I Write... he
Muses, surveilles the nil
Wind, windowy visage,

& gateswayed key-pad,
like a cyber abacus
to touch & stroke, counted-

on to reveal it's
whilom Mysterlex, vener-
able... Sunday, a

small gaggle of Ibis, like a
short-stack @ the Pamcake House,
gather to beak the

night-sogged sand & soil -
Yes, it is Raining, & what'll
I Write onto this

Sky heavy with no
sound, Divemy - to Alpha-Bet-
souper-bowl-Day to score

& yield 1st-touch-Words,
off-costume, aplenty like
Muskmelonseeds al

centro, resplendent
like an occasion, of the
Yes-twoDay's a mazed

Prosetrycopia!, huh! -
What shall I Write, In-
Deed!?, but Linnear...

and Quantumescent,
A Sirge in Time to the
Muse of Rhyme, I Am...

Perhaps this is a L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E poem. Definitely it does some interesting things with language----kind of creates its own.


It is an interesting poem. Now if you are expecting a poem like a figurative painting, perspective, human figures in the natural world, etc., you are disappointed. Have to think of this as a cubist painting or an abstract. different rules, different road explored. Not better than or less than other routes---just different. It takes you to unexpected places with its play of language.

A line like:

short-stack @ the Pamcake House


is interesting. This is a fragment of a fragment but I like the @ and who is Pam----a wife, a girlfriend---the play on Pancake House----little thinks like this are interesting. The whole poem has surprising phrasing.
