Bouncing (With Creeley)

"the most abstract fucking fact"
"bouncing"
"to be in my life"

*

Creeley / Cruelty

*

Not to look
That hard at things
To pick the wrong
Word
That would lack
Emotion actually
Locate
Here as wherever
Is
In fact speech

*

I say
To her appropos
The man drunk in our party
Acting
Like a shit
I want to become
Reckless through rigor there
Is an ear
Keeps over-hearing
All of what
We play
As we are always playing
Now

*

An ethics (if an ethics
there ever can be):
our radiant
attention attention
(and even distraction
will always trump
intention, like touch
does
the eye, and the eye
our theories always when
we really look
I mean really

*

I'd like to know
their inner-monologues
the audiences' when Nicholson smashes
his palm against
red chewing gum he'd stuck in
white plaster wall,

there were things of course
we saw on film
never cld have seen on dinky tv
things on the outskirts of 35mm. projection
a glass
bottle containing
transparent liquid for instance
water perhaps
meant to be
vodka
