806.4616.0110 (a cup of sugar) - draught
sending out an SOS..." The Police
YOU'RE walking past [light speed] the house at three
a.m all the lights on [electromagnetic yaps] shouting smashing
[there will be more]
someone crying in the garden
[no/white/wash/white/house]
music shaking [299,792,458 metres per second]
the night (wingbeats) kids hi(ding) under the beds
[................] everyone drunk everyone fucked all of it old
[wait... bells you hear her bells] --sugarsugar--embedded
grudges grievances hatred so you don't
(would you happen to have) [celeritas] even
(would you happen) consider knocking (tyres wail)
(trees sigh) (birds exhale) (legs flail) on the door
(freefall)(eggs fail) introducing yourself saying
Hi [exhale.................] (sail on silver bird sail on by
your time has come) mister we meant no harm
would youhappen tohave would you happen...
—mister we meant
..........no harm—

2 megaton snake (for Carl Sagan)
fifty thousand sugarbabes
breathing out black fire
as sure as eggs
is lead balloons
one-a this 2 megaton bomb
gone down like redjunglefowl
with feathery ass alight
(a pope on a hope
shitting in the woods—))
(for the trees—)
(—can't make them damn drink)
two million tons of
high explosive dropped
on Dresden and London
on Leningrad and Cologne
fire demons, fairies, elves
shove your hand down the throat
fifty thousand sugarbabes
sweating out black fire
grab anything you find
twist, pull, rip it out
I love you, I love you
six years of burning
all wrapped up in one
hazy afternoon
(learned about nuclear winter
by studying dust storms
on Mars)
fifty thousand sugarbabes
guffawing
black fire

Rumi spirit-flarf
—I’m an emotional Rumi researcher
I run barefoot Rumi everything jade green
far-off lands, furniture...
Now I can see the Rumi far-off hills
and the dark far away...
With far rapture Rumi and abandon
I would hope for a child
a potent Rumi little vegetable god
(urchins won't Rumi relent
with the snowballs whirl
themselves raptured into a stream
from its Rumi source in the far off
mountains, passing Rumi far through
every repetitive task)
a Rumi sea urchin in antique dress
I found it a year ago when far Rumi
Back, this Rumi is as far
as you go, she says
this sight Rumi may harm you...
where a switch goes off in me
and suddenly when you Rumi have closed
your mouth kind of griot-Rumi-Rumi...
can't you see Rumi far, far I'm stretching Rumi?

Anomie (a beginning)
"I've got a bastard behind the eyes" - Withnail and I
let's look at this again
both ancient and modern
writers seem to oscillate
(thirty years of the same crisis)
(you'd think they'd get dead)
(bored banging the bedhead like cats)
(drowned in the same pond)
(nine times nine times nine times nine)
1. open the hatch look inside
never sure what you will see
(he can see "wonderful things")
(don't tell him anything yet)
2. sometimes you almost laugh
(relief)
3. then you see the little lights
—they're still there...
bions?Brownian motion?dead things?spirits?what then?
(he thinks he sees. don't tell him.)
faced. with this.
anomic space—the issue is to abolish. the restrictions
[["the words[_______]had the force of law"
(Eichmann)]]
see the little lights
—they're still there
(still) (a bastard)(behind)(there)
(the eyes)(there)(still)
see the little lights?
they're still there
they're still there?
thirty years—drowned—crisis—little lights
—thinks, only thinks—wonderful things, cursed things—
nine times—tell him nothing
let's look at this again

New Executive Orders
white hot in the ruins of recount
of a democratic party late in the day
and the barbecue just cold ash
(many inconvenient truths)
(the false-flag (Iwo Jima? Ground Zero?)—
of the fathers—Toratoratora!—Atta! Atta!—
Our Allfather Hiroshima
(the well where words wither)—)
"total wipeout in 2008 of Republican..." you believe this
Pearl Harbour Blah Pearl Necklace
a spurt of new executive orders
that they'll let this happen
already in place about all our necks
(Martial Law/Scooter Libby/The Bohemian Grove)
like they won't do something?
(Get this burning issue off me!)
"you could sense something was gonna blow
question was what and who"
(a rigged explosion in democracy
- the falling man)
"Something's in the works," he stated,
"in the works...Chertoff has predicted them."
Habeas Corpus, Port Authority
the thing that penetrated the Pentagon
clearly had no wings
(and get this: the world watched in horror already in place)
like everyone their own twin tower now, rigged to blow

feeding a child
—kneading, plying
itself a connection
with a thousand generations
of women
on their knees, pounding
fists in unclean bowls
fleshing out grey dough, oxygenating
latent life, swelling, rising
the sacrament
yeast/bread/yeast/ wine
skin-surface-bloom
sugar and spice
all things...
to all
always
cradled in the left arm
—not for the heartbeat,
for dexterity, ministration
his eyes as he drinks
the eyes
of vervet monkeys
his clutching fingers
feeling for lanugo still,
fur (to hang in)
a flickering, a place
beneath gender
waking slow
leavening, fervent
bright as sugared yeast

a siege of Khartoum, November 2007
the ghost of the Mahdi
stirs in his desert capsule
at Omdurman—such dreams
riding a wild camel
head swinging—excitement (alarm)
calls from the city, telegraph of heartbeat
breath, hollow ground
he is shimmer, spirit, silver mirage
contagion flooding outward
(the air hasn't quickened like this
since Gordon Pasha 1885)
such movement, such pace and fecundity
somewhere a tiny bear
(emblem of bears)
claws the Faithful
by wires of naming and intent
into the vast cleavage
of the West
he heads south, swinging
a rusty sword, feeling blood
beat again
in his dead camel's neck
rivers swelling
clouds massing
the beats stop, the drones
the wild pipes, the music...
silence
(process and plexus/
event and stasis—forces gather briefly along these lines
then quickly vanish)
flies whirl in the shimmer
—nothing, nothing
