Aught, no. 10 (2003)
William Allegrezza
en mis angled
leaving cities behind
to change
hands or painting cubicles
between scribblings
figures on playgrounds
deadlines
a
field growing with filler
in
abstract denotation
a lampshade
shadows a
neck like
style older cheaper
with proportion
always writing
so close then
letters lean & cast
as patients
for excavation
trained & voting
i think
of fabric ejected
and yoked in wayward links
mysterious
weed
'america
will' grumble
of perspective
&
invite meaning
revoke
exiles
keep
cults
"go back"
delete content
expire
in arbitration
for vertical history
become
background
so close to numbering
arrangement
kettles or
smells
night and
in-between
nothing
Author's note
"After reading your guidelines for the next issue, I put together these to pieces as
a response to my own piece in Aught #2 and the other
pieces that I like best in it. All of the language, even if heavily played with,
comes from somewhere in the Aught archive."
