Bill Knott - Story of Or

Bill Knott - Story of Or

To pose nakedness is br To refute it. A pose br Is a clothes. Like br Stanzaic arrangements of br br The word which should br Ideally, be in pain against br Its w and its d. No slack br Is why such heaves of or br br To denude itself could br Make us exude gold, yet when br Was that ever opposite enough br br What scream or epigram br This sperm has come br To measure our mouths for. br br br Note: For 'or' to free itself from 'word,' it must strain ('heave') against the 'w' and the 'd' that enclose it. If, via this strenuous (perhaps squeamish) process, the meaning of 'or' is transmuted from the English into the French as a sort of homage to the pseudonymous author of 'Story of O' (Histoire d'O), then, alchemically speaking, (or so an Aurealist might suggest) it will have risen from the pose of its measures to or-emerge as an else-gasm.
