Tailor-made (1/30) The suit would still be sexy walking without the man inside it The man would be less so in jeans but would still turn your eye The suit and the man holding hands walking together would be creepy sexy but creepy

Bash (1/29) I keep a cricket bat in my closet just in case
I’ve watched a lot of bad action films in my day. This one is actually a combination of that really crazy interrogation scene in Casino Royale and Road House. Buffet (1/28) You were expecting foodstuffs - when you entered the room it was dark and the tables were uncovered You were not expecting the metal folded chair to come at your stomach so fast that you couldn’t move You were not...

The State of the Art of the Art of the State
jasonwilson:
So what is the state of the art of feminist theory? The feminist trajectory is one that is nonlinear, simultaneously colliding while fragmenting. But, I am not indicating this is the end of feminism, but the true beginning of feminisms. The friction of discourses intersecting and the deconstruction and reification of the feminist language creates contestation converting it into...
Misprision(1/27) …and she hit her son and he turned and hit her He was 6 or 7 and no one on the train breathed for two stops In my earphones was a song about things staying the same how it always stings yet keeps on At Canal Street they got off in a flurry of hurry up Their arms were at funny angles and it resembled trees in storm Why do people resemble trees in winter? All elbows and knotty...

Combi →
I couldn’t find the original definition for this word. But the link will take you to something that applies. Combi (1/26) There is a Barbie doll on a quilt lying in a sun-drawn line A cloud is crowned with sun and it looks like fingers reaching into space I haven’t seen enough to explain the color of the sky to a child and I’m not sure I need to The only remnant from my...
Barbecue →
Barbecue (1/25) Hog-tied? Yes we are on a spit now - we are turning slowly What sort of sauce are we to marinate? It’s the kind that burns in the crevices - look - I’m sorry I got us into this but the brochure looked nice A poem about cannibalism! And now a video about big ass Japanese bees killing smaller European ones. To eat the unattended larvae!
Haggis →
Haggis (1/24) Heart: In January I can barely stand my feet are sore all the time my chest burns because who could shake this cold - I declare myself tired of love - my body rejects Lungs: In February my breathing slows to a painful fibrous depression - I am cicada crawling up a tree to the upper limbs singing my song loud Liver: In March I walk furious the paths of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden -...
Matthew Barney is a FREAK →
Minimax →
This is one of a few different poems I wrote with this title. Minimax is a concept in game theory that involves a lot of math. This poem was meant to be my turn in a game of trying to get you to see something clearly. Minimax (1/23) The avenue is a force line - a heavy vision pushing its way down Manhattan to the sea From here the street vanishes in a fuss of heat and gloss - the road floats It...
Can I just say that Matthew barney is a FREAK. I kind of love that he is. But seriously. I appreciate that someone is out there doing something crazy artistically…but…I have no words. There are genitals in the video. I warned you. Hoist de Matthew Barney Alzothium | MySpace Video
WatchSo I am linking to the post on Colby Keller’s blog where I first saw this. HERE
And the original article by Markus Kirschner where he saw it. HERE

Spa →
Spa (1/22) The line is surface tension - prose wave coming Come - arthritic joint - soak in the word mineral
Cowboy →
Cowboy (1/21) You’re ridin’ - wind through your hair over land - sea - on an ostrich This is some serious cross-country - animal between you Salt on skin - everything blur - all are watching you go
Alexander McQueen never fails to impress. This is his Fall 2010 collection. Pics and link from Project Rungay.

Phrase →
A long one today. Phrase (1/20) Grass = greener I am watching a couple holding hands - I am watching fingers loop over then rub at the knuckles This is on the Q train into Manhattan - it’s one of those new sanitary cars - chrome blue and ghostly They are leaning into each other - tired - she is nodding at his shoulder - his head bobs on hers My gloved fingers are still cold beneath layers...
oh god
aoxomoxoaoxomoxoa:
i didn’t realise that if i deleted a picture, once it was reblogged it remains on here. shit.
I also just realized this
I know it’s become silly to discuss Lada GaGa in any way on los internets but I am so very very pleased that there is a pop star that can PLAY instruments and enjoys doing so LIVE.

Neck (1/19) Reaching up to the leaves - grasping at them - sticks even This giraffe is a maniacal machine - all black tongue stripping - all spotty reaching wonderment Does each generation get further into the canopy - pull ligaments that much more At what point does it all give out - what day - what hour does everything get top heavy
Neck →
Naturalize (1/18) At this age we do this - our hands get bigger then our heads so we cannot fit knuckles into mouths There is a circumscribed alphabet on the wall it repeats mostly consonants - makes no use - manages small grunts Walking on our hands and knees is silly - easier asses will drag and become wormy When we reach adulthood our heads enlarge - stomachs become the size of stadiums - we...
Naturalize →
Haut-gout (1/17) Your lips rim peppercorns - laid out - a bed of crushed garlic I am pouring sesame over your stomach rubbing balsamic on your feet until they black You should be noodles curling in a stir-fry You should be melting brie - blankets are an oven - my hand a dish
