Without Blood
Con/Jur/d, 11/17/2025
Without blood, the MACHINE
of WCW’s poetics fails to
KICK-OFF
Beneath this MECHANICAL EMPIRE
(gears, poll levers, delicate chips
micronized circuits, electrons lined
UP as if going to vote, decisionless
Farce of: KILL YES/YES, HELP NO/NO
discontinued circuit KNOW/KNOW
Upgrades to BUY/BUY)
lies beating organic hearts
ONE will never defeat
analog MAYBE
with
digital logic:
THEY WERE/ARE A FASCIST
is 1/0 logic, either a or b
and we can imitate
(but not replicate)
the world. THEY/WE LIVED/LIVE
under fascism/authoritarianism/
empire/feudalism/oligarchy
the dictate of the few and NO YOU
CAN’T redefine DICTATOR to
fit your…
A LIVING response might be
WAVE/PARTICLE
allows the BODY to answer
MUSCLE/BONE/BLOOD
and their living HOST
PATRIOTISM and other
forms of advertising
occlude. Even here
this, may not be poetry,
preference can’t be accounted
there is a metallic taste/iron,
only YOU
CAN DECIDE
what to do with
this SLOW
DRIP
DRIP
those bleeding/hemorrhaging
beneath your A/B.oots
the smell of tanned animal hides
stomped flat by a reflective
petrochemical
SHINE
… bottom line.

Does it matter if it moves? Con/Jur/d, 11/17/2025 The Elder Witch said, What secrets do men have? or the Roshi who taught reincarnation distracts and musicians ALWAYS recognize musicians Like the Dolmen who offers up mystery which outweighs history truer than facts poets claiming a particulate authenticity (identifiable by clear borders of a known molecular weight and uniform appearance) rarely understand LANGUAGE moves across a vast ABYSS unmoveable, without border NO BEGINNING, NO END riding on breath a weak wind lasting as long as YOU does it matter if it moves the MOUNTAIN, LEAF, or A SINGLE SILK THREAD to which, we depend
