sƃuıpɹoɔɹǝɹ:ǝɹ / a square six

As this is the 1st sƃuıpɹoɔɹǝɹ:ǝɹ post, it seem fitting to explain a bit. As it is now 2012 and my a poem for today new year's resolution is in effect, I thought I would go back and try to provide audio for as many of the poems that are not Sorted(sonnets) posted on the blog this year as I could. This is the first bunch - 5 poems that ran back in January and February from a short manuscript that ended at five poems, now dubbed collectively a square six. Follow that link and read them all while listening along.

a poem for today "passing off" [NOW WITH AUDIO!]

[AUDIO]

passing off

passing off sawbucks as pock marks smile-like

no, no more passing off suspend the invelion or

no, no more like dismajereyan

but I went back to sleep, and that was 

but I went out like supreme consciosness come down hard the nexty morning 

next you know I meant that favor filled mulled uber / something here /

next you know nix trills und kicks whilst us'ns

but still here found stumped under a lump post / was action meat

but still  more did I say that or was that memory fallbackmixed shades

pick up sticks doofy shouters across the way sample the bell game

pick up sticks and grant shakers untoo all

[there are 4 other poems in this sequence one, two, three, four and this one, all a part of a square six and you can now listen as well as read]

a poem for today "putting off" [NOW WITH AUDIO!]

[AUDIO]

putting off

putting off what would have had to get put off

cause that's the bingo affect of these towns

cause that's the just the way they do it

incorporate then externalize or rather

incorporate and flush it through with lots of water

don't let's not forget to check in somewhere

don't let's never something even for a moment

something is in the house, something is also

something  is the antithesis of it and to

get around to it will take the better part 

get around now and up with the hands

[this poem is related to three other poems already posted 1, 2 & 3 and the one due to appear tomorrow, but that is the end of this aborted manuscript known as a square six]

a poem for today "getting to" [NOW WITH AUDIO]

[AUDIO]

getting to patience 

getting to universal plug but its

gesture unreturned sort of bugged it then its

gesture unregarded swiped kuchen

made a run for it lama said to  sort of get

made a bit like biting is bit

forgive us bunny I’m having an oozing fit

forgive us those gloves again (we puked)

raison setter a, I don’t know who is calling

raison settera perhaps but again unsure

so I beat a treat and reappeared later

so I hadn’t any tables to cart back

gotta go for the rides all leave and I’d

gotta go hadn’t another beat to wait

[another in the sequence with taking back and putting up, collectively known as a square six]

a poem for today "putting up" [NOW WITH AUDIO!]

[AUDIO]

putting up

putting up laundry

landing in the darkness of a bud light

landing in trees night quiet engine

eye play over there by the telephone

I play bingo at the charity hall

folded into this night, this is the sheets talking

folded into fist and singing barks the dog dare wind-o-frame cracks

there have I done it capped it with ululations

there have reactions on one and the other hands

but don’t tell me about it ever lest I use lest

but don’t put me up to it neither

I say phooey (lasting implications are forgotten again)

I say phooey twiced

[this is one of the 5 that goes with taking back from yesterday and which dates back to Sept 2009 - the group of poems is called a square six]

a poem for today "taking back" [NOW WITH AUDIO!]

[AUDIO]

taking back 

taking back that branded and eggs tarry what had the band of

like I said before trash speching und ich dint get it in time now err buzzaleirt 

like I said taking back before

but meant it not did I as mumbled at it did pancake me there

but meant instead instead something else immer rag dimmer lariart premoon

slake my mumble ich all ways anyways maybe teams that dissolve toward one to

slake my mochte for a heiz kis sie scrumptious on a divan

I’ll take anything the time is limited spread buttons on me

I’ll take any plenary speaker and amp set canned hand damp lit page of

mice-like slanderers cagey and slumped (I take it back) they were

mice-like slanders purrfect for the split (I take it back) 

tarry there and derive profound motives for overdue books

tarry there and get off my front porch (I take it back) 

['taking back' is the first of five poems in a small manuscript called a square six, that I last tinkered with on 21 September 2009 in Mainz, another will run tomorrow and maybe the day after and the rest at the end of February or thereabouts. Click the a square six label to read and hear them all]
