'Fuck it, Don't Fuck With Me Anymore,  Send Me -- & If I sport a Fashion After Which Your Poetry Wears but Rarely, --- What Harm Is There In That?'
Or, You Could Preface With A Warning -- Without Which It Would Have Gone Unnoticed --  Only To Find Its Just The Thing

dear sir or sometime someone certainly
your recent communication
containing it seemed to me the delicate gossamer intricacies of everyday & moment
somehow captured and displayed without hurting them 
and, even as things-in-themselves wriggle out of one comprehension and into another
nonetheless this fact does not -- and this is the real mystery -- itself bring a screeching halt
my abruptly unsuspended disbelief
stubborn, envious, wanting only the tech, how was this done -- no --

curious this,

or perhaps not, were i tomorrow, or you, or a close friend of mine
but tomorrow, or you, my friend, or you, mr. sometime someone certainly
are not going to die when its my turn to die
do not live as i live
in the in betweens most elusive
revealed perfectly individual yet seemingly categorical 
these beginnings of knowing
another
human 
being

by their recent communication, which 
(it becomes necessary to inform 
and quickly now, before one is able)
which email, so it seems, is even now in the process of being processed
and due to unforseen um due to the um do tedium dew te deum

per force mance angst i it  
-- purr form and its high aint he -- 
-- -- prefer man's hands I & he -- -- -
- -- -- before meant & sigh ain't  -- --- ---
--- ---- performance ------------- anxiety -------------------------

this moment is new is unlike before this response this here this now we all of us rely on pattern and familiarity on reiteration interpellation
the ideal is yet glimpsed intermittently conceived daily  reinvented hourly reinvents itself constantly but it must concede it cannot remember in this process ever experiencing itself being narrated 
however haltingly 
in real time 

still it probably is nothing new

to receive reply that merely holds the place
that hopefully bears no resemblance to all the less than perfect
that briefly says dear 
dear mr keisling we are considering your last 
i am 
will reply shortly

only heaven help me for all the times i fell far short of what i see

time: a stage in area | a poem by a faust

now available in several formats.


the poet has been playing with html
there are many ways to escape sorrow, no?

as image with that signature feminine-faustian feel



as text: usually somewhere on the page, for those paying attention

POEM | not enough to honor Mark Duggan | may be sufficient to thank Darcus Howe | by a faust












not enough of a verse to honor Mark Duggan
in this Historical Moment, (to speak the plain Truth),
were a conflict a riot, an insurrection, unrest,
were possessions more precious 
than a flesh and blood youth,
still the sins 
of these idiots 
would never 
be blessed
but enough (though informally) to thank Darcus Howe

nick of sometime | a poem by a faust











































nick of sometime
isn't this where


in that old red armoury 
-- rings a bell still, rang many 
hours 
days 
years 
seen and confidant countless fears 
now the former, as above, 
now the latter , doubtless loved


we came in

current by virtue of character
character is fate over time
fate is the actions of thought
thought comes from knowing the self

Faust's Poem to Anonymous, As It Should Have Been All Along


the spirit immortal
(or, in starry eyed admiration dedicated to Anonymous)


All the best of us, hackers, wings far from untested,
attain our prize but per accindens – and a few may have guessed it –
the rest intending, (to practice) or
dependent per haps
on if they remembered to factor themselves in their maps.

:: philosophies hammerless :: dreams lacking anvils :: ::
:: can but weakly tempt consciousness:: cannot plunder or own ::

but nonetheless, obstinate, moot, and with trivial pointlessness
still stayed – with us – still staid – to us – still state us, & quo –
Ut alteri vadis, warranto; alteri quorum, quid pro.

This is causa enough (should reason persever) 
to  recognize, laugh at, and  ---- but be sure to remember
to anticipate everything while expecting it never --
Exlploit cheerfully thoroughly such evil endeavor.

Success (of course) is your proof:,
by your choice,
at whatever:

to know and to will and to dare demand never
be told of the odds
that one changes
if clever.

 through many revisions was yet draft: 2007 - 2010; now and forevermore dedicated to Anonymous

O Spirit of a Former Time

a Spell to Make the iffy, good, & the good, better...












A very useful bit of technology: requires only you bring the smallest example of that of which you speak
to the court from which such judgement comes; all, seeing the superior, will imitate, or seeing their fault, 
rid themselves of it, effectively enough to surprise the fuck out of even you.  

Then in a short while, be assured you will be notified -- your dreams having come to find you.....





Future Perfect Eight of Wands -- a spell
(makes iffy, good, and good, better)

O spirit of a former time
The which, when quaffed, imparted bowl
Upon delightful bowl, revive, remind
Us now HalfHearted of your Whole.

For we, too weak, or so we seem,
Have lost the will, or win, or lose:
O! Let is dream a better dream!
Or let us sleep -- but let us choose.

For to ourselves we nothing owe
that to each other we learn giving
Might as well get used to Now
in which alone is life worth living.

Spirit! Be thou the Feather! Let us Fly!
If not to the Moon, then good and high.

alliteration attempted | to MrHinkyDink


ode to the dinkster by a possible ocd spambot
missed me by miles --mostly -- mr - made mention?
rather recently relished  real rash retirement risk restores right re: ruined
Halfbaked heretical histories have hardly had *half* his hypothetical hominems heartily hurled
improbable imperious ill informed ideations intellectually insulting, idiotic, ignored :
now noticeable,  neither neutral; neither naturally nonchalant  -- nevertheless nice 'n' nationwide.
Kismet?  kinetically krafty kitten knowing karma, knights kabbalistical kooks. 
Yes! you --

ah i give up.  if you could call me an ocd spambot just because i like you can see your greatness, no amount of intellectual prowess will convince.  certainly I am no bot  - a bot  would  finish the alliterative acrostic artistic endeavour.  correction -- they may not be that good yet.

today i found http://keiths-proxy-server.appspot.com/. it appears to be hosted on google's dime. which makes it interesting, no?


googlebot signs in. also check out billbot. thank me later.


other observations: refcontrl works almost as good as curl. webdeveloper toolbar is more important to me (almost) than firefox because of how hard it rocks. nytimes is a greased -- uh, is a good place to cut ones teeth. science journals are the holy grail. and the new webcache.googleusercontent dealio actually makes things easier --


but wait theres the secret part!




or if you wont let the little would be geeklette's puny code thru, it is here. love to know yr responses, o original-poster & those whose eyes fall across these words....



well that's what i wrote. here's the page i commented on.

Poem: Get Well Soon Lisa



Angles 

(of me: are you:: of you: are me)



Lest we forget how fragile we are, how delicate the web of this life

is, (lest i forget) how connected and beautiful and

strange: i wake up to find that i am the eyes the hands 

and the laptop keypad of this World.




Now is the only moment that's real

even now, this now, your now as you read and you think and you feel

listen and remember you are beautiful

star among stars, a stranger, another me still, 

our being ourselves reflections more -- perfect -- than this ---

nothing real can be threatened;  Nothing unreal exists.
