Sample text

The ship (so it’s in the foreground) — with the man who’s the beggar in back of it, the soil is in back of him — is active. So it’s mechanical — there aren’t other people’s actions — I don’t know how old the man in back is. Who’s older than I, desire’d been had by him for something else. I’m not old. And with him being inactive back then. Playing ball — so it’s like paradise, not because it’s in the past, we’re on a field; we are creamed by the girls who get together on the other team. They’re nubile, but in age they’re thirteen or so — so they’re strong.

A segment in the poem is the actual act or event itself — occurring long after it occurred; or acts put into it which occurred more recently. They somehow come up as the same sound pattern. The self is unraveled as an example in investigating particular historical events, which are potentially infinite. The self is a guinea pig. The piece in that they were at the beach titled “A Sequence” is erotica, a genre being artificial which can ‘comment on itself ’ as a surface because it is without external commentary.

A recent work of mine in such a chameleon cartoon mode is a short ‘novel’ titled THE PEARL. It is the form of the comic book as writing. Each line or paragraph is a frame, so that each action occurs in the moment. The writing does not have actual pictures. It ‘functions’ as does a comic book — in being read. And read aloud to someone the picture has to be described or seen and then what the figure in it says read. So it’s private. 27 Cartoons are a self-revealing surface as the comic strip is continuous, multiple, and within it have simultaneous future and past dimensions.
