Waddle

1.

I focus on a bridge form
as it moves
releases pinches releases
pylons lift in sunlight from grassland
catch sky base a range of cloud shapes
cirrus interrupted by striations
A figure embraces and unfolds in rhythm
it could be a bird, trapped to the ground
attempts to free from this instructs its
unseen other in operation beyond view
Gender unspecific but questions are raised
regard for freedom
About situation
between edges of perception, now
reaches between strata:
a state of uplift:
a new freedom.
This celebrates an increase in existents
a multiple self, enhances embrace.

In simulated light surveillance I lift
heat coil and appear alienated
up from a bird screech marked by wing beats
Listen up, an overhead
pours a neon spread pathway
shut against an actual road
serpentine from animal wander
felt pushed in the back lost footing,
stammered, loose metal bushes burn
exactness and expectation. Dice clenched, apparency,
return in to light shafts
recorded in blind stripes or
exhausted definition in measured speed
Somehow, it’s difficult to know,
I prove my shell metal mossed wrath
vivify flight indoctrination
through hector lime hash robbery’s guise.

Ponderous eruption
shakes London
Named in laws of interaction
break them
Named jubilance and speak of joy and worry,
a net released and tightened, a sparrow chick
simulates flight in fledged flurry
on gutter edge
capital’s main street the Banker
sharpens his steel it skins a chance replaced
his finesse. Can you imagine his loss
shaken. The Banker chances with
his speculation
“free to arrest transcendence” stolen in conscience,
cell wrapped and
unwrapped stingray
Beaver’s ontology
condemned to be free
without value judgements
authenticities.

Who the I is confuses the narrative
tossed in translation
eroded her language like a kid
with a trick
this common individual
the inert limit
of freedom
In keeping with my intention
maintenance of close relations
between ideal and real measurements
now a collective observation
in which decoherence occurs. For as long
as the struggle lasts, always
to others that the very contingency
of events and the qualified freedom
of individuals express the conflict itself
always possible to put an end to it
a sort of comportment necessary
an individual pleroma, imagined
virtuality, normative and catalytic,
gratuitous play, ascetic
expressions of sadness, joy, love
in very limited particulars

always the historic and circumstantial
result of conditions outside
the domain of knowledge
to get away from it
and destroy it where
freedom includes
the decision
to be miserable.
The Banker
studies complicated
by extreme variation
in substitution rates
between sites the
consequence of parallel mutations
difficulties in estimations of
genetic distance
Constantly before the reader
an accidentality of any
surface stricture
chosen as realisation
of underlying thought
told spelled tould
to rhyme with would.


5.

the discrepancy a prediction error
demonstrated by observation
that learning is blocked
a dreadful state of misery
may overtake the
in uncertain hope of annihilation
simple temporal contiguity
between stimulus and reinforcer
Presentations of surprise generate
positive prediction errors
encoded neuronal messages modify
synaptic connection in snares
of reason, absoluteness and knowledge
the decision to be
in misery
made by someone else.
