RIC S. BASTASA - how ordinary language becomes poetic

do not worry about images br leave it to the wise imagination of the reader br do not insult his powers br of extending the meaning of your ordinary language br beyond what you br are thinking or saying with utmost intention to drive your point br br the poetry of indeterminacy br the meanings hidden in such plain words br br as wolf and sheep br shepherd to this staff br river to stones br and clouds to rain and rain and rain and rain br br and yes the trrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrainnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn, br br do not be too concerned br with form, the form comes and takes the shape desire before your eyes br what i am driving at is that br ordinary language becomes too poetic when br you shake because it is a very cold rain pouring in your roof br and you have no one br and you have no other place to go and you cannot call him because br he is too busy with other br matters of equal importance br br i could be him and you could be her, in this ordinary language of br disappointments br why we met and why we regret the meeting and union br br oh, why speak about something too poetic when ordinary language br can be so poetic br about pain, and hypocrisy, and mendicancy br br of emotions, She herself is one of the few constant br features br br on that landscape. br br Wary, as always, br of holistic paradigms for the literary history br br of poetry br br br dynamic, interactive condition of experimental poetry today br br i cannot think br of any other recommendation, br br Christian Boltanski's simulated documentaries, br I cannot think of a better introduction br to contemporary br br poetry, this, oh, br br so you understand a thing? br br alright, how do you do?br br RIC S.
