True Crop

for Ed Ruscha,
literally hallucinating

The point was
this floating
lacustrine feeling
surrounded by
the sea

meaning what you say
letters stray
these letters how much
information would
you like

how much would it take
to cover the world
a simple lamp hangs
a very simple lamp
we mistake

this lamp for another
floating object
this is a copy of the world
minus a few aspects
which no longer count.

TOTAL
WAR

Excelsior
DIVISION

PURE SPIRITS
COVER THE
WORLD

from the air

*

With all percepts

Who gets to be an artist what gets to be art

In the sun perchance

All the stations

A flight from stations intent on record

Containing everything

But the sun covering the sun in evidence.

*

"like a speech delivered on no matter"




"with all kinds of delays"

Here's a photo
Of a car and here's
A photo of a photo

Of a car and here's
A drawing of that photo
Of the car now where's

The car?
