Aught, no. 6 (2001)
D.J. Huppatz
archaeology
to find
footfalls
he only dug
whistled sadly
another sparse plot
((acoustic traces))
caressed each phrase
nobody knows
the trouble
whispering in
invisible overtones
unsifted soil
or oil slick
weighted by grids
a strata disaster
nouns are banked
withdrawal method
pick handle
alternative key
opens minor languages
at this speed everything looks grey
that acidic all-at-oneness & all-at-onceness
now comes with extra speed:
Hermes endlessly
pixelated across the square horizon.
reel to real to reel
marked by fear of the gap:
go(l)d to fill it?
(don't you know
you
have to kill a tortoise to make a lyre?)
no blind spots, the eyes are everywhere.
sitting there sendentary, terminally.
at this speed everything looks grey.
many things & most things are all the same.
details to glue. extensions of.
telephone & telescope.
in clouds includes
lubricated clicking.
in comfortable old socks & pronouns.
in lemon green vintage glass
on glass table
in office:
fire extinguisher.
potted plant bursts.
exit > to sky
