Notes on Baudelaire (5)



(((18))) there have been few calls for the realization of poetry lately, and much less philosophy. peculiar, because we still spend our nights hunting for potential parasites within our direct reference body. to talk 'me' is redundancy, yet it is still events that we are inside //// air-dropped by modern poetry. what would its realization actually feel like ::::: would it be fortified like marriage, or lifestyle, ringing with moveable lips. most of it is kept in boxes, as if 'it' and 'love' were semi-detachable units proving capitalism has not spread into all the cracks, particularly those called 'I': or a letter from 'e' to an image of 'e' still in the text. like this projected brick. my name will never appear on their shameful registers //// insert mandatory class struggle slogan here. &&& mean it. everyone in cambridge is dead. in any case, the cracks are surrounded by bistable multi-border guards:: prosodically vibrating with boredom. there is a box called poetry, so stop paying rent. drink pink metal, heated.

(((19))) --- & take ‘thought cancer’ as ‘die soon’ from within the more tedious senses, worship (for example): become any letter, an alphabet item scratched history:::: to smirk, but screamed. nothing less has polite importance /// poetry-shaped motherfuckers with static deep systems, blisters on top of the sky’s culture logic.

mmmn I want to drink pink metal. For now I'm settling for extra strong margaritas. Holidaymakers are skum.

XXXtra margarita is pretty much the same thing. How is Florida?

s'okay. Key West is totally trying to be hackney except with cuban cafes not turkish ones, and sun not fog, and beaches not marshes, and sea not puke, and tourists not residents, and 'sloppy joes' not 'the rochester'. Needless to say it isn't doing too well. They do know how to celebrate new year though. Drag queen in a shoe, free beads and booze for everyone. Also Key West is cool because it declared war on the rest of the United States in the 80s. It only lasted about 3 minutes I think but still, a pretty cool thing to do. Hows hackney? Off to NY tomorrow, then back on 6th in the AM, will come to EJs if not too catlagged, you going? xx

hackney meant to declare war on the USA yesterday, but got it wrong and declared war on me instead. I drank solidly for 4 days and feel like someone just set fire to my head. no, hang about, they did . . .
