by Gregory Severance

confinement of logic
make the choice
flip a coin
heads, Manhattan
tails, Brighton Beach
intense hardon from reading Nova Express
homoeroticism or just simply
eroticism

the pioneers of the world William Carlos Williams for the first time today I read Allen mind over matter stoic despair Ginsberg for the first time in this library not in this room is somebody somatic school economy is outdoors I write poetry in this library some of the early marxist id Freud users of the telephone not sure if the table leg in economic developments shore of the lake dark clouds blot out direct dictation of the terms to individual sunshine spontaneous orgasm while immersed in sensory deprivation tank

loss of body outline
my first thought was loss of fecal material
in other words spontaneous defecation
philosophy of the androgynous
I lose sense of consciousness as to the 1880's

thought, poetic sensibility, a form of mental telepathy, and I read Man and Language and the first radio users William Carlos Williams for the first time today I read Allen Ginsberg for the first time in this library beach ramble negotiating dandelions on a birth seawall special tavern cross purpose vegetarian walking the seagulls

being androgyne
polished boots
peach elongates
poetics of androgyny peachy keen
blowing saliva bubbles
I will keep taking them to the corner of Broadway and Houston
taking care of screeching intercourse
rustling of orgasm flapping of animus
scuffing of reverie
dinner of worms
flesh cry for forty days
fast food Chinese nights burning treetops
in string band drainage ditches
rally transforming jobs into reduced sets of indifference
complex fertility coal to diamond
