one deer visited

on Thursday, the 12th

sat there in the straw that I spread out above the garden beds...
I went outside and it moved out towards the street -
as if gone from the garden...

it was back a few hours later:
again I went outside, it jumped up and positioned itself
staring at me

just like the people here:
position themselves and stare at you
always bereft of an audible language
and if they're are surrounded by their attuned bodies
prodding them into whisper and hysteria
thus each other reinforcing the group's self-righteousness
that in turn intensifies their staring
followed by preening,
then hysterical body contortions

all that stops already properly sexed females
in their tracks at work-'on the job'
and just like the deer suddenly turned around and jumped over the fence
'female employees' move closer together
with each other drowning in their whispers
while their faces enact the pantomime of disgust
-an acculturated faceless ritual
male and female samefaced, uniface contortion

here, 'real' language is nowhere to be found in 'reality':
semic content is not in words
but lives visibly in their behavior

and if,
content in sentences coming forward
are 'love 'of aggressive animosity

a commanding “How are YOU!”
followed yet another prodding more insisting
interrogative”How are YOU!”

followed by their eyes searching each other out
from a distance, faces get tuned
becoming faceless

surrounded by hallucinated
inculcated
whisper-attuned
repetitive idioms

and what sounds as if “real”
are nothing but fantasized 'assertions'

negative assertions
hallucinated accusations
that reinforce conforming gender-same hysteria

nothing but 'local attitudes, local politics'
all based within a peculiar kernel

and since I never attempt meeting “real” people
within their 'private discourse'
I only meet the ever fantasizing "phantom persona”
playing 'non-business'
within a 'local culture'

that is acting out
enforcing inculcated roles
in a 'business environment,'

turned abusive medium
as if attached to 'superior' rights...

while I,
“this guy”
is practicing just another 'shopping adventure'

it's the hyphen

winter - gardening

like
male - female
hyphenated relations
make nature obey words

constructs
force raw nature into war


culture =
language cult displacing nature


"love" constructions
within
whose relation's
coded hyphens?

or
within relations
whose code plays hyphen
acts the hyphen
enforces disappeared hyphens


raw

eat it !

raw

war
as if war on culture, on pots, on cooking

green tops,
eat raw, tea war

straw

finally covers part of my gardening adventure,
finally a farmer delivered a dozen bales

it's probably year round winter-gardening
what I got myself into

night temperatures above freezing,
days into the twenties of Celsiuses

clover still tiny leaves,
peas growing taller
broad beans aiming higher

potatoes coming up
green leaves slowly emerging

Now I too can build a wall against the cold-fronts
the winds blowing from the east then from the west then from the east...

micro-climate adventure
to get my seeds growing, to keep the plants warm,
to get salad leaves and greens into my system
