West Wing catching now je capte sous le seuil below the threshold

West Wing
catching now je capte
sous le seuil below the threshold human perception
they tap me & judge me
me tapotent & donnent
mon niveau de remplissage
via an inner gauge that says assertively
“pleine d’air full of air”
full of air? moi?
wrong wrong faux faux only a catch phrase a preconceived idea un slogan une idée reçue
je suis inondée d’un liquide inflammable flooded with a flammable liquid
can you hear it? do you hear it?
tu l’entends? tu écoutes?
est-ce que tu entends les abeilles qui butinent?
do you hear the sucking bees?
purity of the moment
measuring memory mesurer la mémoire
thru replay
I am recording j’enregistre because I can
pourtant pas de lecteur no playback machine to listen to au clair de la lune mon ami Pierrot Florence Nightingale & Robert Browning
there is no technology to play it
my poems will only be heard in 2020
it starts feeling like a séance in here
I am reminded of another place another time
I have recorded it
I am recording it
a soft roar
a white blanket re-covering this country
club of course
black & white disney shadows rivulets roads crust
caffeinated thoughts
veined earth terre veinée white map carte blanche réédités-ed
snaking out of the ground
la terre plisse & hisse
je surveille l’Amérique survey America
en/quête quest en Amérique
I oversea & oversay America
