backwash

[Lanny Quarles]

backwash (from whatever species)

university
government
the fullest possible range of attachments to "ism"

then a maw
which can only be concieved in mythological terms
or something like a termite hive

giacometti's thin folk

backwash
terminal cinema
soylent green
with afros, nanotech,
and greasy revolutionaries
in rust bucket volvos

the eternal bicycle
of the leatherman

your life from the pages of the universal 'narrenschiff'

electro-purgative-economies

basically, a kind of semiotic vomitorium

gorge and purge, citizens
gorge and purge.

there's nothing natural or precendented
about the quantitative or qualitative level of data 
needed to sustain your endeavor,

another isthmus of accretional hybridity
thrusting out into the fog

far more tumorous than phallic
hopeful only in its innocent depoliticized substance,

this planet is a mine, we are a library of self-fecundating xenowares

Its so painfully obvious this is nothing but a farm
and we are the vegetables..

temporal furniture weather,
assuring jobs for future historians
