The Mannequin Room

a moldy orange. is thrown into a sink

shredded. cloth is on the floor

there is. a misunderstanding

but intense. déjà vu

a baseball game, not even casually. watching

glancing here and there, wandering. in thought

even. when the ball is thrown

a. small child to the right

lost in a color-thought. autistic world

places a hand. to his lips

wiggles. his fingers

and vividly. grants a vision of the world

being torn asunder. by tiny were-bats

discon.necting the grotesque machinery of reality

an old-folks home, mental health facility, or. abandoned school

no one really. knows

the elderly faction laugh and play, dancing in. an empty ballroom

for they know, hear, and. see nothing

just down. the hall

there is an old room. full of mannequins

happily. avoided

the mannequin room. may be room 101, or it may be shell beach

depending. upon who enters

an old man, just. inside, guards the door

peering. through the window

ushering random travelers aside. with a smile

shielding. eyes from the horrible truth

been. here before, yet different

the simulation. continues

walking as. synthetic lifeforms

until things are finally set right.

Conversations of Festival International 2011

How are you?
You'll just have to suck at a bar.
Men in hats love cold beer.

That girl's from Ireland.
We're gonna see it.
I know you, and you've got a feeling.

Orangutan, a baby gorilla.
We've got a dog with them.
I think I took two.

Oh, you got a rat, that's awesome.
I know you said the meat kabob was good.
It was a bowl of fish.

Me neither, I knew brown.
No, you didn't.
Everybody got family probably.

I lost my shoes last night, so I was walking everywhere barefooted, and then finally I found them.
Hey, you know, I messed with the wrong mechanic.
He got tired of walking after he traded his Mustang for an eight-ball of cocaine.


method: I walked around the festival with a recording device, picking up fragments of people's random conversations, usually no more than a single random line. After listening to the recording, I arranged these lines into a poem that is significantly less dark as compared with my previous Festival International work.

I've Stopped Having That Dream I've Been Having

Found Poem 2011

Frigid bike
Ride away stillborn eyes
Legs yearn to touch ground they ache
After a night
Of tossing and hard dreams
Huddled with the elder apes
Fists coiled in their bellies
Or clutching bowls of bean mud billowing steam
In complaint

Slip into the area behind sleep in front
Speech erupts: I'm not here, really, how is
This happening
Without me?

Pictures, POOR FAVOR...

Hey everybody, send me some pictures to use on our front page (original photos please.) Just send one, I will use it eventually. No contest.

Bruit Flow Dinner

It's time for the first Bruit Flow meeting. It's been a long time coming...

We will plan to meet and eat on March 18th or 19th (whichever is better for everyone). This is a Friday or Saturday.

Although this date will be before the equinox, I would like to consider it our spring meeting. We should all plan to bring spring inspired food to share with everyone. Remember that many of the members of Bruit Flow are vegetarians!

Also, bring any current work you have that you would like to share. This can be absolutely anything; everyone should have something to present. If anyone has any art they would like to present as an installment we can make arrangements to make such a presentation possible.

We should all come to the meeting with an open mind and a willingness to absorb as much as we can from each other. We should all try to bounce ideas off of and inspire each other. One good idea can inspire hundreds more.

Most importantly, we should all come to this dinner to enjoy the company of such a fine group as this, and to appreciate the time we have together while most people are easily accessible.

We will also discuss when in the summer would be best to have the next meeting.

Comment on the site if you plan to attend!

One thing, I haven't yet worked out where this meeting will be. If anyone has any ideas let me know.

Faithful Wordslave,

Rev. Lester Ernest Tisdale IV

Various Permutations of the Right Hyperprime Poem of the Sun

1:

sometimes I feel like nothing’s left
descants and multitudinous meaningful images pop
an easy exercise for sure
near a haze of tissue in air
the red sun rose

2:

the rum moon sank
away from the clarity of snot on the ground
assuming a difficult slobbery
syncopated and a few meaningless ideas form
I never feel like anything’s right

The Desert Age

The Deserted Village

Sweet Auburn! loveliest village of the plain,

Where health and plenty cheered the laboring swain,

Where smiling spring its earliest visit paid,

And parting summer’s lingering blooms delayed.

Dear, lovely bowers of innocence and ease,

Seats of my youth, when every sport could please,

How often have I loitered o’er they green,

Where humble happiness endeared each scene!

How often have I paused on every charm—

The sheltered cot, the cultivated farm,

The never-failing brook, the busy mill,

The decent church that topped the neighboring hill,

The hawthorn bush, with seats beneath the shade,

For talking age and whispering lovers made!

How often have I blessed the coming day,

When toil remitting lent its aid to play,

And all the village train, from labor free,

Led up their sports beneath the spreading tree!

While many a pastime circled in the shade!

The young, contending, as the old surveyed;

And many a gambol frolicked o’er the ground,

And sleights of art and feats of strength went round.

Sweet, smiling village, loveliest of the lawn;

Thy sports are fled, and all thy charms withdrawn;

Amid thy glassy brook reflects the day,

But, choked with sedges, works its weedy way;

Along thy glades, a solitary guest,

The hollow-sounding bittern guards its nest.

Ill fares the land, to hastening ills a prey,

Where wealth accumulates, and men decay;

Princes and lords may flourish or may fade;

A breath can make them, as a breath has made;

But a bold peasantry, their country’s pride,

When once destroyed, can never be supplied.

Sweet Auburn! parent of the blissful hour,

Thy glades forlorn confess the tyrant’s power.

Here, as I take my solitary rounds

Amid thy tangling walks and ruined grounds

And, many a year elapsed, return to view

Where once the cottage stood, the hawthorn grew,

Remembrance walks with all her busy train,

Swells at my breast, and turns the past to pain.

In all my wanderings round this world of care,

In all my grief’s—and God has given my share—

I still had hopes, my latest hours crown,

Amid these humble bowers to lay me down;

To husband out life’s taper at close,

And keep the flame from wasting by repose:

I still had hopes, my long vexations past,

Here to return,—and die at home last.

O blest retirement! friend to life’s decline,

Retreat from care, that never must be mine.

How blest is he who crowns, in shades like these,

A youth of labor with an age of ease:

Who quits a world where strong temptations try,

And, since ‘tis hard to combat, learns to fly!

So on he moves to meet his latter end,

Angels around befriending virtue’s friend;

Sinks to the grave with unperceived decay,

While resignation gently slopes the way;

And, all his prospects brightening to the last,

His heaven commences ere the world be past.

I am working for people who are primarily intelligent, rather than serious.
—P. Feval

The Bat

The Battle of Blenheim

It was a summer evening—
Old Kaspar’s work was done,
And he before his cottage door
Was sitting in the sun;
And by him sported on the green
His little grandchild Wilhelmine.

She saw her brother Peterkin
Roll something large and round;
Which he beside the rivulet,
In playing there, had found;
Hecame to ask what he had found,
That was so large, and smooth, and round.

Old Kaspar took it from the boy,
Who stood expectant by;
And then the old man shook his head,
And, with a natural sigh—
“Tis some poor fellow’s skull,” said he,
“Who fell in the great victory.

“I find them in the garden,
For there’s many here about;
And often when I go to plow
The plowshare turns them out;
For many thousand men,” said he,
“Were slain in the great victory.”

“Now tell us what ‘twas all about,”
Young Peterkin he cries;
And little Wilhelmine looks up
With wonder-waiting eyes—
“Now tell us all about the war,
And what they fought each other for."

“My father lived at Blenheim then
Yon little stream hard by;
They burnt his dwelling to the ground
And he was forced to fly;
So with his wife and child he fled,
Nor had he where to rest his head.

With fire and sword the country round
Was wasted far and wide;
And many a childing mother there,
And new-born baby died:
But things like these, you know, must be
At every famous victory.

Clamor

Living in marmoset dreams or leaves beneath trees
Redundant I know, how else am I going
On and on to find to right my written springing upon
Some single high note thereabouts?

A sign of knowledgable time:
Voidware prohibited. 

We are all closet homo-sapiens screaming on dirt streets
Rode, thinking, erode (no spank) exposures or expeditions
And A giant S severing the male malevolence. 

Just as incurring snot orgy discord of innocuous 
Cyst putrid darkly cornering sequence of monetone
Invalid scraping dig, cut, borrow, uplift, downgrade, electrocute, resuscitate.  

Cut this umbilicus; I sense a frequency of naught, a cordial inversion: never knot. 

Feel it, stuck sucked in a land of negative, open sores and crisp finger frost distracted. They hate me, they hate me. Or if they have no feelings: the cold has cut them short for sure they will recognize a friend, wandering the dark corners for sure they will stop freezing all my outsides and striking disease at my in. 

Very similar to antiharmonics. Verisimilitude. This candle lights my path; but still fingers reach behind my hair in a place adjacent to memory. This is where we first discovered sound, where we precisely scattered electricity and placidly uplifted antitheses. 

Try this on for size: a gigantic memoir, a bestiary, gutfull draught, no, gush; a font, oversized load, a blink, blister or beacon of hole, questions tied together with oblivionic cursive apprehensive and assuredly buoyant, cluster of opal, shimmer of going. Be these as they may, if there is that or these for me, may I protractively exclaim that I am doing that thing i do between dreams.
