This Camarade poetry event presented 16 new collaborations presented by pairs of poets. A second version of Splat was read at Charming Event, a Poetry Reading at Normal Bar, Berlin, 17.10.2015. http://www.theenemiesproject.com/berlin http://www.lettretage.de With tips of the hat to Stephen j Fowler – stevenjfowler.com – and everyone The parties suddenly found themselves lying in open sea-shells, structured to their lengths and sizes, floating side-by-side on a tranquil waste of waters, feet foremost, heads pillowed, and eyes bent up skyward and northward. A lowered and murky sky appeared as a dun-coloured ceiling, of little height above them; and they were thoughtful, and in low tones they occasionally uttered weird thoughts on life – John Cunningham I asked you please to cross me off your list – Bob Dylan, “Abandoned Love” I don’t believe the conditions that produced a situation that demanded a song like that – Nina Simone I like to stay home – R. Stevie Moore “Downhill,” he preached on “downhill, seems like the only prospect, from now on, if all the boys are beefing-up while we keep on writing lists that may or may not rhyme, lists of things we find pretty, like the boys, or things we cannot find, like the reason to push” – Juan Diego Otero, “remote grammar” windshield flat a generic insect & a nonexclusive vermin collide with the force of the width of an A4 paper onto a cabriolet s unforgiving front & only window we slouch on 2 stones of a circle, murmuring fake$, forgotten or non-existent, mantras. The monks float, cartoon ghost of a bright merry Disney Christmas past or future and pop, floatingly, out of our foreheads. Forehead. From now on, you will stumble across this world within the first 100 pages of any & or every novel you casually, or ultra slowly & deliberately, pick up, peruse, close read, or deep fry; the point is, foreheads, they’re anywhere. infinite tiling of frontal, foredomed, rearview mirrors, or non-existent, mantras. The monks & monkeys float their lethargic dream pipe, holy Channels exit our foreheads. In every novel, a forehead is. An archipelago of possible landscapes. This is the forehead, & why we are talking about it. As chains of aggrieved gladwrap spleens of echo unpack their sandwich sandwiches, it is not your public flake rumpling when the sky steps aside, polite but following everyone at home until their life dissolves because the map keeps planning leFT-0ut parts under the city where the color is different or something else, blinking ground-up death-dust in a thumb-tack tray Wer immer an sich selber denkt / Wird irgendwann sehr einsam. are you eating slave prawns, Books Make a Great Gift if you can avoid it we cross now to static, for more The ascetics drape drab dapper new clothes. down through tunnels of fire, into the blood caves. their attention the simplest gift of joy, that’s them. & a mesmerised knot moves public-faced on the cloudy ropes & a small cop. but is only pretending to be of something left in there. Avoided is on the ground, sooner than thought, to be under the ground playing the chess with static, each truth. whose is the round surface? none in the pants or stops, tao in all directions except out, well. I continue to fight these jellies in the cold triangle of the world. & in the circular world the jellies win, the juices go speaking disengagement, but beyond them the road where I stood will be scraped still it all whets wrong, bloody well free as a piano, though it will never get to feel on as far as Helium and the others know. Time must bat & rush time must bulbous shine & crush, mirror on the tool-belt lest we get away with groceries. In, particular, no. reversing. the doughnut.
