Postmodern Ode to Linguistic Pantheists

by Brentley Frazer

If you say, I love you, then you have already fallen in love
with language, which is already a form of break up and infidelity. – Jean Baudrillard

—–

Some continuous tonus resumes
pulsing across the rooftops.

Preacher has his hand in their
control panel messing with the
configurations: —Authoring a new
dissonance, he says, —Forcing
something flaccid in the niche,
building a new leg for the stand,
circumcising inertia…

his non-prolific face twisting with
pleasure as he said it.

A Clown chokes to death in the
Tudor doorway – 20 years of
laughing and tripping along the
boulevards has worn out his big
shoes.
