​Sun Ra, Words and The Impossible

The elasticity of words
The phonetic-dimension of words
The multi-self of words
Is energy for thought — If it is a reality.
The idea that words
Can form themselves into the impossible
Then the way to the impossible
Is through the words.

 

Robert Creeley, from Pieces (1969)

p.36
The pen,
the lines it
leaves, forms
divine — nor
laugh nor giggle.
This prescription
is true.
Truth is a scrawl,
all told
in all.

…and music behind a dancing hand

Jim Leftwich: I am looking for examples of a certain kind of thinking about poetry which, if pursued to its logical extremes, would eventually include considerations of asemic and/or desemantized writing.

Thomas Lowe Taylor — JUMPING, FLASHING

At start and locked into borrowed vocabularies, dictions, syntaxes, the whole trap of history, I neglected forward out of pure denial, that if a word came up through the mechanisms of selection and association, I would jump as far in the other direction as possible, I would JUMP out of the norm into its undeniable, associational, negational Other. This the early mode, as has, so let.

Thomas Lowe Taylor — SYNTAXIN

So if anything is the sum of all you can bring to it, then each word is a syntax of its own dimensions in reference to its past and its future as well indicating neither time nor space but both together.
