This isn't good, but I'll post it anyway...

Reading and trying to make sense of Alfred North Whitehead's Process and Reality in conjunction with James's writings on Pychology, and a few other demons at the trough. Writing assignment... from last week, seemed more appropriate with this week's material. Write a poem with a kind of formalism sonically or otherwise, see. Marianne Moore's formalism if you need examples, or Gertrude Stein's sonic scapes. Or write a poem with a sfuficient amount of missing words, as in creating or stiffling language in lieu of silence... So I kind of did both, playfully, and maybe even a little fecetiously.

What is a complex and multi
factional action of process
proceeds from forthwith
following abstraction to
external models acting upon
the real relies on mirrors
making up more complications
than can be enumerated exactly
or in sufficient error to erode
the passing potential palpable
to people or entities which
aren’t the same thing as eternal
gestures genomically gestalting
oy gevalting gevalia coffee coronary
how apropos to propose poly-amoury
to analyze the fit don’t fit front with
what it meant to fit falls first
the shoe and gravity is genuine
indisputable incongruous to grammar
which holds that the I’s are dotted
and the T’s are seeing solely similar
to seen is scene and being seen
so you see it follows suit to say that
here you sit at a café proper on the
promenade de reality averse to verse
lyrically expressed purposes valuate
volumes of matter made prehension
a probable phenomenon fallaciously
feel like frowning for now lets settle
on its being constituted by becoming
in principle processed preambles
this aside or on the side of long strides
when you start you sure get going
going going going going gone.
