(or the present year)

As big as trees and buildings.

Being my age it would signify one third or further through a longer or shorter life;

Being the present year to us it signifies nothing:

Do we realise we are past half?

words from the map: dreaming

noreply@blogger.com (Ryan Ormonde) — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 07:48:33 PST

in that place it was fine to be bleeding from the back and not symbolically all over our hands so I find a kleenex

and he emerges from that place in a blonde bob and shiny black

so today I remember those old friends who wanted you to stay but you went your own way and theirs was too much hard work, requiring patience and lethargy

and one in particular, not the one from the dream, never even a friend as such

but someone a friend knew, last Monday, in a bad way

or someone else

words from the map: domesticity

noreply@blogger.com (Ryan Ormonde) — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 06:17:17 PST

Is it apart from anything

Is it apart from outside

Is it apart from any home apart, or is it from a lofty beam a fantasy of climbing to?

words from the map: what to wear

noreply@blogger.com (Ryan Ormonde) — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 08:11:40 PST

what to hear
here's to

trans resilience
trans performance
trans formation

hear, hear

words from the map: night

noreply@blogger.com (Ryan Ormonde) — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 08:12:12 PST

I'll sit up in bed alone all night never once feeling tired, not tiring.

words from the map: companionship

noreply@blogger.com (Ryan Ormonde) — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 06:18:27 PST

a double act

her leaving their routine is so much the same as her leaving their routine it is not so much either of them leaving or not leaving their routine as each of them leaving the other

words from the map: organisation

noreply@blogger.com (Ryan Ormonde) — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 08:12:27 PST

organisation reads up a to do list (that reads down "to do list")

up to the raised left foot of the body protagonist

the map is an organisation and areas of the map that may also

bear this word include

(a symbol of a house)

or

the city

then there is disorganisation

which seemed to be there before

words from the map: masturbation

noreply@blogger.com (Ryan Ormonde) — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 08:13:12 PST

to a book

or up a spread, splayed,
a stretch,
tips of fingers and toes to the bottom and top
of a crease, closing

no you do not make the map

words from the map: (initials standing for names of 7 family and 3 other names)

noreply@blogger.com (Ryan Ormonde) — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 08:13:29 PST

initial # 1
standing for a name
standing for you

another me, one of three

It helps to have an image of you, a freeze frame like last night at your birthday

and it helps to move between this image, and an image each of us other two

and it helps to interpret the image without describing the image

on the map you are a single capital letter but here it helps to interpret an image of you, a freeze frame from last night at your birthday, to interpret the image without describing the image

and to move between this image and an image each of us other two, interpreting each

You are an ace, aces high

You are no more a playing card than a freeze frame

on the map you are an initial, one of seven (and three)

on the map you are free, outside the houses, but not far off, and in

FAMILY

words from the map: death

noreply@blogger.com (Ryan Ormonde) — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 08:13:37 PST

death is inside the body on the map, it runs from the top of the head down, thus

D
E
A
T
H

death is a zero

where life is a plural movement, a movement of plural

or where life is a one

and may be counted

zero
one
zero

but there are two types of death

there is the zero of numbers
and the zero of zeroes

there is death among the living
and there is death among the dead

Is there a difference between this latter death
death after all life
and what seems an older death
death before all life

If the universe is life
be they eternal and

if life is universal
be it not life that dies
but a particular agency

now typing.

The first of a hundred years.

The number of seconds in a year is in the thirty one millions.
Either the first thing to do is to nail lucid dreaming
(half hearted as life lengthening)
or to count the lack of lucidity as a relief.

Life as a length, a line.
Closer, from either direction.

From some beginning
the first is furthest.

From some end to the end
of the hundredth.

Review of my book by Rosie Breese in Sabotage

Graffiti and the Writing Arts of Early Modern England

noreply@blogger.com (Ryan Ormonde) — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 05:11:50 PST

In 2012 I would like to find out more about historical examples of poetic writing practices away from the book and the poem.

This book seems a good place to start.

The notion of a 'text' represents the assumption that a certain form of consciousness has been able to dictate the terms of its own material constraints, and consequently remains, in some crucial sense, unbound.

words from the map: boredom

noreply@blogger.com (Ryan Ormonde) — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 08:13:48 PST

the boredom of muscles

boredom is not confined to the domestic
so should it be written all over the map? Sometimes.
What area of the map is sometimes?

the boredom in thinking

boring air

Are sometimes areas of the map
Are areas of the map areas of thought
Areas of sometimes thought

boring thought

boring concussion

words from the map: (figures representing friends)

noreply@blogger.com (Ryan Ormonde) — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 08:17:44 PST

(figures representing friends)

on the map these figures have gathered or are dancing around an extraordinary object labelled friendship

there are three figures, any more is an indefinite amount that may include strangers

Who are these three figures?

The names will alter, and alter back. And alter

For each figure is as me, but is not me.

Each to their own map.

all the words from the map: tame

noreply@blogger.com (Ryan Ormonde) — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 08:18:38 PST

a domestic or a tame

you tamed me
and I tamed

tame sex
taming sex

It had the mechanism to lose itself from me and in the sense I am thinking it is its loss that is its demolition and as David says especially deliberately this corresponds to my blame or my guilt. It would fall off and then it would be in the balance, in my balance, would I or would I not demolish it? The demolition was out of my hand or literally from my hand, but my lack of care was my act of demolition. Feeling it heavy on my wrist and then gone when it would fall off, then feeling it restored, but in the end demolishing it, that is losing it without possibility of return

Unexpectedly, here is where I describe the object. It was a silver chain with a clasp that would open it into a wider chain without breaking it. The links were squarish, tough. It was a bracelet for a male wrist. To me it was a risk. It was a risk to wear it. Why wear something symbolic and with quote sentimental value if it could easily slip off

You chain it chain is not a word chain will not do. You you you you you you you you you you you you and so on you you you you you you you in a you all around my wrist to be read around like a rosary you widen to slip off
