Garbage In, Garbage Out
Well, it’s finished, or at least I’m done with it. Maybe my cut-up poetry wasn’t a success. I found myself “cheating” (not that it matters) by rearranging the randomness, picking deliberately, editing the results, etc. In the end, there were only three results I could call a finished poem, and they’re short.
The lackluster feeling I [...] -

Cut-up Poem #3
Stunned
By the look
Of another
This is what was and what never will be
Life is rhetoric from strangers
Imagined-spoken
Slower

Look how close to one another
They don’t notice each other. -

Cut-up Poem #2

What makes
Drums and heartbeats
Blood, motion. -

No boredom, no sorrow
No pain, no tomorrow
No dreams, or thoughts of water
No questions, [...] -

The Physicalists passed out over 300 balloons [...] -

Cut-Up Poetry
After enough spare time spent sorting through old files and notebooks, I have produced a pile of unwanted writing: drafts, failed poems, etc. The pile is large enough that I would regret throwing it away. It is so much. It occurred to me that I could cut out anything remotely salvageable, and then make a [...]

Manifesto Dropping
The Physicalist manifesto is complete, but the fun has just begun!
Having been complicit in the composition of that document, I am conscripted to assist with its delivery: to the unsuspecting crowd assembled for New York City’s Armory Art Show.
There is a brand new physicalism.org website waiting in the wings for anyone who reads what we [...]
