Choix

As the act of choosing becomes all the more
prevalent I
want the colors not
composure, transgression not
reserve. Vulnerable real
deeds not words
give me deeds not words
the trouble being
I am quite good with words
thunderclaps are far better.
the size of the sky is stricken
into hearts unfathomable,
speak across ages
of its endlessness
without saying a goddamn word

From A Chinese Encyclopedia On Animals...

"I am reminded here of a passage quoted by Michel Foucault, in which Borges refers to the assertion of a Chinese encyclopedia that "animals are divided into: (a) belonging to the Emperor, (b) embalmed, (c) tame, (d) sucking pigs, (e) sirens, (f) fabulous, (g) stray dogs, (h) included in the present classification, (i) frenzied, (j) innumerable, (k) drawn with a very fine camelhair brush, (l) et cetera, (m) having just broken the water pitcher, (n) that from a long way off look like flies."

Friedrich Schiller + Von Teese

“The understanding of the schools always fearful of error, crucifies its words and its concepts upon the cross of grammar and logic, and is severe and stiff to avoid uncertainty at all costs, employs many words to be quite sure of not saying too much, and deprives its thoughts of their strength and edge so that they may not cut the unwary.”

Bataille's Heterology + Robert Mapelthorpe

"Reason would homogenize everything, but what is reason to do when it encounters what it excludes? When it comes into contact with paroxysms of laughter, weeping, screaming, orgasm, or exultant destruction? What can it do when, having admitted the inadmissible, in the ecstatic pursuit of "clear consciousness," these paroxysms surge through reason itself?" - Georges Bataille

Noche Del Guajolote

The splendid absurdity and wonderfulness...by the Mountain Goats, who make the perfect music for walking in the sunshine with a dress that dances around your ankles


the glowing world, the bench backed up against the house
the chicken coops the darkness surrounding everything
it was late and the night was moving slowly
we laid down on the ground because the world was lonely

if you keep quiet it will stay like this forever
if you just keep quiet it will stay like this forever
i feel certain of it now

and all the birds were sleeping in their perches
the little wind, swaying birches
and the north american wild turkey
that your father brought home
woke up and came towards us

and the moonlight and the turkey waking up
and the night air and the moonlight on your skin
and the moonlight and the turkey waking up
and the quiet yardand the turkey and the moon
unimaginable
