Withheld Emblem, Dense Welter Of Particulars - A Frisson For John Wieners & John Cage



he teaches me ju ju
the poem does not lie to us
we lie under its law
Let me ramble here - John Wieners

a withheld
emblem
impossible to
not believe in
it being,

in love,

all immanence
exterior to the
envelop

an elsewhere

great passion
detached

possessed

almost Catholic



Passion entered
into dichotomy
cutting in two

stretched____________ between

drowned > flight > exit

knock-fused endeaver
falling

the religious sense
failing

to elucidate relied

discharge

misdeed

counterpoise

seesaw intrusion

ordinary business



so sketch the exterior

so let there
be any requital
to a vocation
Christ-like

so undercut

grand respite

tropes' borrowing
deeper lineage

persistent

repetition
loss-bound

pervading nerves
invocation-hymns
stanzaic densities
of particulars

extravagant
filtered posturing

such are
repudiation
abasement
world shaper
with the exeption
of vocabulary
evoking nostalgia




deployed force of
theory binds dense
welter of particulars

unabashed fidelity
to texts' elitest
aesthetic

mucked about

vulgar

modernist

particularity
formulaic apophthegm

slogan <> counter-slogan

suggestive parallel
trajectory

generality > turn transit

discourse > transit turn

Syntax Street
pour shapely
scorn which
does not belong
i.e. notes
of stricture
of self-directed
divorce so
trigger-vent
generous

humane
matrix-warped

strenuous



Here do not hesitate
abbreviation of expression
o delicate lineage

compare prominence
recently there

o recondite or redemption

o merit beyond epithet




Attraction

(once did)

lay back

decline toward
female stars

(did)

force sonnets
above all

(such)

began as
follows
desire

droll lolling

last couplets
above

gathering

fierce

trivial

wry

(ramble)

against syntax

tentative penetraction i.e.

throat

voice's violate
hand-me-down
shock

remarkable

re-animating
frisson secession
as favor charges
historically-resonant
dense welter of particulars
