22: EDITORIAL INTERVENTION

Michael Farrell: love in the accusation



   somewhere between 'blood in the wind'1 and 'died to no avail'2
   is this ('From The New World') what they call 'smear
   campaign' or 'once more around the block'?
reading, breathing in insects/gas, fifty years getting something
right, some image to tear at our last moments
(a tone according to Breton)
   Jorie Graham: the stamp
   26 lines in blue like payslips or half ...
   the guilty boat, the without warning
   the weather today said your mother 106
   they were 107 voting for me
   it was an election & id never need to breathe again
   in the stable (at the airport)
   what about your passport doesnt it mean something to
   you? in 'japanese'?
   ok
   suddenly it does
   The Dream Of The Unified Field 106-109
   The Creation Of Eve 1356
   1974-1994
   bembo
   as a friend, a reputation. ka: known as.
   one knee on the neck, like they
   country without hollywood
   language of the pillow; unlearned
   (the left side / star of india)
   these are diversions: the blue, the red, & more red
framed; books
   there were four elephants. somewhere between 'the
security you want' & ' '
   evidence suggests the news was meant to be sung.
   cutting off bits for pots.
   phones give us something to talk to; old people.
   she was our own martyr, of sorts -
   knowing our joy is made of their dissolution.
   moving over property like it cant touch me/us
   though it might love accuse
   i hadnt read this before, in my study 108 do you
   remember?
   the poem invites 109 'a tone' (Breton) knowing
   our joy? in the st in the air?
   what were stanzas,
   evidence
