Imagine poetry as a series of terraces, some
vast, some no bigger than a pinprick, overlooking
the city of language.

The sound and light show begins in the dark
sentences dart by, one by one, forming wave after
wave of the rag and boneshop of the quotidian,
events passing before our eyes like the faint
glimmer of consciousness in an alcoholic stupor.

Facts, facts everywhere but not a drop to drink

In the 1990s, it was common in Russia to find
stores with empty shelves, but one was stripped
to bare walls.
15
It was a shelf store.

The time is not far off, or maybe it has already
come to pass, when computers will be able to
write better poems than we can. So we must now
add to logopoeia, phanopoeia, and melopoeia
algorhythmia.
17
Computers will never replace poets because
computers wont take that much abuse.

I love originality so much that I keep copying
it.
36
I am the derivative product of an originality
that spawns me as it spurns me.
37
I love originality so much that I keep copying
it. The work of art itself does not exist only
incommensurable social contexts through which it
emerges and into which it vanishes.
38
I love originality so much that I keep copying
it. Existence needs essence the way a walking
tour needs local color.
