***************
Brion Gysin is
the horizontal axis
of the avant-garde
***************
Concrete poetry’s
shelf life is about a week—
the same as gossip
***************
The New York Times is
Vogue with rabbinical text
and raw editing
***************
Writing is fifty
years behind fashion, but it’s
gorgeously simple
***************
Cooperative
mimesis is the flatness
of community
***************
The parameters
of the abstract canon are
ennui’s storage bins
***************
The normative speech
of idiosyncratic
art is radiance
***************
Cage, Ginsberg, Warhol
and Whitman: grubby merchants
all, plain and greedy
