In the beginning
was the Word—
been in You
for a toolong time.
I rub out the word.
You in the Word
and the Word in You
is a word-lock
like the combination
of a vault or a valise.
If you love your vaults,
listen no further.
I spin the lock
on your Interior Space Kit.
Prisoner: Come Out!
Quotation from Brion Gysin
Let the Mice In
And a variation:
Cy Lester says
Gysin began The Battle of the Pronouns. Gysin said – literature was fifty years behind paintings. Genesis P. Orridge was still at school … Chelsea Manning was a spirit waiting to be born.
Jan Herman says
Love those connections!
william osborne says
I watched how Chelsea Manning and the Guantanamo prisoners were treated. There’s a mindset of extreme human objectification in the military that is actually a psychological perversion. Watching the military’s behavior, I literally felt like I was looking at perverts. How is our country ever going to find its way back to sanity?
Jan Herman says
we are a militarized shithole, to paraphrase the emperor of trumpistan, so what else to expect? we were militarized before he was crowned, of course, long before. so . . . finding its way back to sanity seems more remote than ever.
