28. True To Tell




amid the aftershocks of riot
                             and its suppression
we need recipes however
                        all good things together


& how much language is food
- nourishing & defining


pies and beef! pies and beef!
and give us good fruit puddings!


some poems
           like mince or vomit
or at best
           Singapore Fried Noodle
                                  again


La questione che bisogna domandare: che cosa é il rischio in questa arte?


Another test then –
             how does it cope with noise & dirt?
             are these better than it
                                      or rather
             does it make us see them as art


“improvisation entails . . . doubt. The improvisational attitude resists attempts at totalization (truth, belief, etc.) in favour of unpredictability and incompleteness. . . . the improviser takes a risk of a very specific kind . . . when, through an act of intentionality, one wills doubting. The improvisational approach, therefore, makes the artistic event an adventure of the moment.”
Hejinian, p 374


daylight will open
as a glowing screen


entropy will eat the clock


strange things, people
& dangerous to ridicule
ridiculous to endanger
          true to tell
