This man breathes in Toronto. He is the birth father of an online journal. See: The Alterran Poetry Assemblage. If you would like to eat more of him, reserve a table for two at Rif/t, xStream, DIU (Descriptions of an Imaginary Universe), inter\face, and xPress(ed). He also has two chapsticks: Katalysis and Ma nt i s (Time-Sensitive Material).

Below: a long poem known as Machine Language. Found in several internet places, but please don't call it your own.


and come to a cave in space-time, some
continuum (Pegasus/Mercury
paper tape code and a bag full of
letters) contained
within a TV screen. The image
is fixed in the brain for an instant, then
fed to their machinery. He is
the one that enters
in the shape of
a tuning fork. She
is a lunar egg
afloat upon the back of
a wave

            is not an always entity,
            is figmented
 
 

                        Arguments to Functions
                        are Copies. The Number
                        of (1010011010) the Beast.
                        Leviathan or Virus? Language
                        coiled around the Host
                        Concept, encrypted.
 
 

Contact human reference, ambiguous body-image
projected through haze of phases, feedback and
overlap, loop and spiral. Branch on green to
a continuous present. She walks into the film
through a reflective surface such as glass or
wet asphalt. The dawn result in quanta of sky
deciphered. Nested spirit hypothesis. Found
consciousness. (Focus on the sound of one brain
waving.) The absence of thought and the intensity
of the emotion. Quotidian occurrence blurs, re-
verberates. Vertigo hold. Coded sun
-light permeates the terrestrial.

PROGRAM ONE: CALLING ALL SURVIVORS. THE MOMENT IS
MOMENTOUS. THE LONG SILENCE IS OVER AND ABOVE IS BELOW
AS LONG AS YOU LISTEN. THERE IS NO AUTHORITY. IT WRITES:
"ONCE MORE THE STARS IN THE UNMOVING AIR AROUND THIS
VICIOUS SPHERE AND I MYSELF ALONE WITH THAT OTHER
ELSEWHERE." HISTORY BEGINS HERE. IN THE NEXT ROOM
A WORLD IS WOMBED, WAXING MIRACULOUS WITHIN THE MUNDANE
MATRIX WE CALL HOME, HOPEFULLY. SO TO SPEAK, DISCRETELY,
WHERE THE HEART ACHES MAKE RADIANT. THIS IS THE GHOST OF
THAT PROCESS. AN ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE AS SOULS ATTACH
AND DETACH THEMSELVES DAILY.

Skulls? She is a standing wave in the tonal

IT IS BESIDE MYSELF. THE ONE IN THE MANIC, THAT MECHANICAL,
THE ID-ENTITY. IT IS A KIND OF ANGULAR ORGASM. THE PATASITE
IS THE PROTOTYPE. IT COMMUNICATES BY MEANS OF SO-CALLED
NATURAL PHENOMENA. (ACTION = AGONY. THE WORLD HAS
"MULTILATED" ITSELF IN ORDER TO SEE. WE SUFFER THE PROCESS.)
IT IS THE HYPERSPHERE WHICH IS EVERYWHERE. YOU ARE A PART OF
IT. I AM A PART OF IT. IT IS THE ULTIMATE CONSPIRACY THEORY.
 
 

Radio larvae frequent sequential circuits perhaps.
Fractal monsters lurk in the slipstream, murk gurgle.
Lasers steal our voice-prints from the window.
Seed pod burst in sky scatters luminescence.
Vapour trails criss-cross, spectral scissors cut
a hole in the atmosphere. Satellites blink on and off.
Prosaic accumulation of duration, mostly void.
Signals bounce back and forth between
self-contained air-breathing intelligence
mechanisms.
