Found

if i had found i would find again
not to find but to expunge and demonstrate that find is over and done with
so we can
not approach finding unless we have found the find in finding which is
a find of this found to that find
and no finding found the find sounds better
to me
than just a found
which is infinitely superior
to just a
find
which is simply dead ( weight

“Work In Process” by Daniel Carter

2009


INTRODUCTION:
Work In Process is a title used by Daniel Carter (freejazz legend of Test!, Other Dimensions In Music, Ghost Moth) as an umbrella encompassing a vast body of related work. It is an unfinished, ongoing collection writings and poetry of extreme depth and scale.

Daniel Carter’s method of writing deals with ‘filling in the gaps’. Carter begins writing by first distributing ideas in short phrasings spontaneously across a page leaving ample space throughout. Later, the gaps are filled as the written phrases lead the mind of the writer into new thoughts. The cycle is repeated until the page is filled. The result is a dense forest of text referring to history, poetry, philosophy, mysticism, and the everyday. Daniel has literally written thousands of such pages.

I have also included an authorized reworking of the piece by yours truly. I was given the opportunity to break the text up into fragments without adding or taking away any words so that the text will render new meanings. It’s a poetic experiment between myself and Daniel. Enjoy.

-Todd ‘Pendu’ Brooks

HANGING BULB
The players agree to superimpose mirror symmetry onto the 64 squares of the hanging bulb. Mirror image dextrocardia, which may be discontinuous, is placed outside of the hole. “These are things you probably shouldn’t find in your garden”. This was part of a message to The Stations, but I forgo the motions.

I was conveniently thinking back to the mirror and the corpse. A pure white snake . . . assured me it wasn’t poisonous. I held onto it for quite some time and it bit me quite some times. With the players in tandem, all agreeing to hand me the snake. 128 times. I was bitten at least 384 strokes over that.

CHILDREN’S CLASSICS
Many of these volumes have contemporary illustrations, and while they are ideal for shared family reading, their attractive format will also encourage childish postponement of belief. On page 486, we find a photo of “three [dead] children [who] were discovered in a discarded refrigerator in an unused garage two days after having been disposed of. The difference is immutable. Children’s Classics have a way of fermenting and reestablishing conclusions. Children will love them, and parents who remember their own delight in Br’er Rabbit will be pleased to have all their favorites together at last inside one ice storage unit. The coils inside the refrigerator allow the refrigerant to absorb heat, making the inside of the refrigerator cold; this is especially delightful for children of all ages.

This “album” is inclusive of memories ice cold with the abundant glee of puppetry.

Your child is safe here.

NO FATHER
Correlation between type and yield Correlation between type and circumference Correlation between circumference and yield circumference leads to everywhere. In other words, we would not pose outside of the statistically significant correlation between palpebral fissure length and head circumference in black children . . . the dependent measure was the correlation between pairs of z scores. Table I: Mean Full Erectile (FE) Levels Circumference Volume Responses not otherwise observable in the actual circumference leads to a universal decline in fissure location. In the case of Head and Chest circumference, a low degree of correlation was found in all age groups except among Caucasian children. Head as seed can be disposed of in all or other directions. Fruit circumference and fruit weight had significant genotypic and phenotypic correlation with seed yield in the early season, while the number of branches per seed yield does not relate to the circumference of race yield. Hence, no father, all mother.

Effervesce point demographics of coiled hope / / / abandon narrators and bleak syllogisms . . . the sigil has marked the abyss on a Coptic dart-suture. Reestablish nomenclature on the frontal piece of prerogative distress. I am none while being you, and also infinity progressed to the highest point. Count backwards or forwards, the definitions elucidate while destroying. Point in a system of sophism, ME, carried on to the established pro-con embankment. Kill while living, while you are trying to die. Suppurate the infinite inside of I, which is concomitant with corrugated flesh. Peace be to flesh; it wings and fractures, possibly the amalgamation of fort unary positivism. Re-establish and dissuade while finding the metal, with a-syllogism path agoras. Core plentitude has naught to do with answers, although we proffer them to the extent of dismal dénouement. My end, side of square, horizontal to triangle, in def 55 degrees. Tong in tripe, mite synergy to seven. I will give you will if you interpret planetary divergence . . . which incorporated reads syllogism masked by cessionary reason. We bleed; no more than this, which is taken into fractal degrees. The binary monad of stationery friction . . . my degrees by numbers repositioned in nooses which do no more than strangle. But strangle means entangle or the aggregate of numbers posited to the motion of anal repositories. Black hole, expansive disarray . . . I exist in the anus . . . hole number divided by plenary coexist(ence). Beat yourself with flesh to become not flesh which entangles Mann eristic die-chord-legionary. We feel in feeling not feel which is a semblance of fragmentary effervesce. Snow, dead, emblematic; we pinion no solution but retrospect, which is in respect to division — not masked by death. But our death, my death, extends to no past but holes. Which position and disregard anomalism to pistols branching, while esophageal. HOPEs. Don’t remove, just formal reestablishment. To not kill, but effervesce . . . There on points, formally distorted. We establish it in soft portraiture. No man: WOMAN. But doesn’t mean a thing. Instantiate woman / neutral in fire and fire. No opposites, just attract. Dispel neutral while firing function. MAN common to man, or common to plots of discordance. Reap, rape, distract, fluxionary. Flux back night and time . . . chords planted in reason, but reason means naught but X>?

CRUCIAL WHORE
the crucial whore
she spreads her legs
she makes her rent
and whats left over
she buys pain killers
rough night, busy streets
tough night, weak knees
ease, earn, up and down
up and down
nice and slow
brutal and fast
easy cash

**

DENSE
as dense as it gets
show me what your worth
or even worth it
as dense as it gets
show me your skin
peel back, expose bones

as dense as it gets
show me your worth
or even the worthless
execution right
execution night
not dead not alive
as dense as it gets
I will love you until I die

**
*

DISTRICT OF SELF DEFEAT
loathe the sound of your prayers
self destruction never seemed so close
self destruction never felt so right
to the medicine man who won’t cure
fuck you and your death tar
a long walk alone
to feed your hunger
to displace your anger
to find love
a long walk alone
to the district of self defeat

Madness Lies Tethered

Madness lies tethered
The heart of darkness, neon flashing
Every city in one end of the century locus
Alamogordo’s sun’s children in party frocks
In fanny packs and sweat pants
This is Amerika…this is the West
Enclave of the future and Sodom/Gomorrah
Where nothing is real
Ground zero insanity
Its too late now to cease whatever has begun
This shifting beast of radiance and night
This time-slipped Rome
Bread and circuses
In the mountains to the north Nellis breeds another future
Mechanical legionaries
Eagle clutches the fasces and the lightning
From New Mexico’s sliding sands blasted black glass
To a strange attractor given form by western dreams
And Oh so much light
Is this our future?
Bourne on wings of chaos
Infinity stripped razor-thin
Mark of progression into what?
A stranger future was never written,
Closer to the dreams of the sons & daughters of the atom
than anyone could have known
a stranger world was never imagined
forests of redwood etched into Ektachrome
family car in pastel tints drives the Mother Road
America was made for Amerika
Vast Mississippi, Grand Canyon, plains & seas
Steamy swamps and acorus
Mushrooms, pecan trees, cotton fields
Golden wheat, lobster men, flying saucers
As the electrons accelerate
No one understands what we have created
Because it has all ceased to make sense
In terrifying, ecstatic, visionary madness
We dance in the twilight
Or could it be dawn?

"Points in Blood" – Poems by AG Davis

Unfixed
Unfixed: wanting to alchemize a latent feeling;
This unremitting stain in itself to itself, by itself:
Plastic, malleable, moribund—disemboweled—
Walking through backward amnesia in silent, open fields;
I have nothing to say about this grave,
Or eyes to place a reminder.

Subterfuge
Subterfuge—
Confusion on points:
To slowly tier the bitter masquerade,
Or, To pluck the machine from the tree?
