Weather Balloon Playlist 1

gentle scene forthcoming in juices tractable

commenced, how instantiated its noble rot


eats the berry punctuated vine—is’t eco-babel?

mystics look for cures to unknowing in mystery


because no abstraction too blurry, “sure, anysway…”

inflamed toward sight to be the Sense of Senses


the domain of grin and bare-it-all (lightly),

upon faces unflattering, and if I say we, see,


you’re not going to be calling me home

by another name except each place as you choose to


bear it, by small increments, events that please and dis-

identify rising at all but very few mornings


with any kind of courageous mannerisms

risks are given and chosen, not radically self-evident,


in a sense, all senses, the burden’s unfelt, naught and shaded

as a child’s knowing that she tries where she stands


to gain by aging out of certainty like the animal she is

is what she had to be by choice is no way


out of destiny and even the soft kick of November

lyrics do little of the necessary work of amor fati :


the world is all this noise that has to sting

any harmony is at once chaos caged yet not one note


breaks through but by parapraxis does a world:

hold on for the beholders, such things autonymical for


a poorly-suited tool with theories of private feelings

like failings of some watch out there somewhere again


ken (whatever it is (we have to check the math)), reset

the playlist that was perfect when Raphael shared it
