ccee ccgg ccbb ccgg
always
especially in the morning, sometimes in the afternoon
and always through the night…
ccee ccgg ccbb ccgg
industry
how it differs in the cows rodney thinks
who simply stand there looking out
vast pauses between cow events
are illuminated by the crashing of the cows
chew crash blink
crash left falling forward
crash rear rightleg
forward crash chew crash
blink crash
etcetera etcetera phew

meanwhile, back in the trailer camp
in a cloud of cigarette smoke
she studies the video tape
boogiе woogie rocks the airstream
you’rе so beautiful, but you gotta die some day
gimme little lovin’ “fore you pass away
rodney will not pass away
rodney’s fortune is invested in the airstream
with double bedroom, bath, kitchenette and living sp-ce
sold through the fisheye ? payments
now recently enhanced with magnum organ double
keyboard speakers and video cassette
continuing education from the music store
thirty easy lessons, just do as i do. watch

ccee ccgg ccbb ccgg
always

boogie woogie is the vessel of the eternal present
that’s the only way to use that word
she speaks of . everything is now. rodney
be with me now. bow
gimme little lovin’. now this is all rodney’s going
crazy. his sense of now is rusty
the airstream and its obligations, six nights at
the bar, the magnum double keyboard organ
patterns in a tapestry of one crash alone
no not alone – in the line of
crashes to eternity separated by…
buddy, could we have the cowl!ck please… i
blink chew left falling
forward blink etcetera

it had not occurred to rodney that he could lie down with animals
the bar is had enough
now he’s met his nemesis
face to face
this brown fella is his 800 dollar suit
his priceless shirt, blue shows made out of the sky
and with a smiler at his side, has just come in
the bar on rodney’s shirt. oh boy
brown buddy fella speaks again
the moment is forever
structure is a performance of minding what is
ahead of us and what’s behind
the drone and all its forms must amplify then
moment to career dimensions
it is the necessity of practice
for those who are engaged
otherwise, i.e. if you are not engaged
out of work
at your leisure, call it what you will
the moment has its own dimensions
you can find it, anywhere it is
the abyss of the the cl!ck
thunder, my teacher said, is but a cl!ck
that took years to understand
aimlessly i wandered on the plane of time
i planned dot dot dot
intersections, i drew intersections. each was
less clear than the last
friends in physics beg your pardon said
its simple. bend the plane
i said don’t you watch the movies. that’s been tried
and there was no relief. the spanish tried it
they curved their moustache to the plane of time
and there was no relief
it only leads to laughing. laughter is relief
for those who are engaged

i was engaged. engage! big deal, the cl!ck says
thunder
endless thunder on the rolling plains comes back
to us in town like these
it’s bigger than we thought, the pressure drops…
wyoming to the mississippi
there is still time. insert. call the groom
dress the bride
this is the envelope of the cl!ck. it lifts us
in our own air
it makes us pure, it is our ceremony
it is our reason
in wyoming is is heard upward, that’s the word
forever
and sideways on the plane to at least
the mississippi, the holy river
imagine the great curved plane, the plains
and all its markings
we were here and watch your water in markings
on a scale of centuries
the earth is drawn upon. drawings
like lipstick on a mirror
in a scale of centuries, to be seen and
our presence read through the lens that is…
the moment of the cl!ck. lens to lens
touching. self to self
the inside, if that’s the word
to the outside
upward, if that’s the word
forever
forgetful of the plane, its markings, the
intersections the plains
forgetful of the versions, the performances
you may kiss the bride
lips to lips. plane to curved plane
a proximity of markings
the nearness of markings, which is why they were
abandoned as out work here finally
in favour of smaller things
like ?
markings on a scale of centuries are simple
process. deliberate
this is the beginning and this here is the end
drawn on the plane of intent
big deal, the cl!ck days. look directly at lens
please, smile
there you go
(short pause)

the self speak only to the self. the inter-
change of light suffices
it is sufficient to every moment of the world
it is all connections
it is all moments of the universe
it is flawless and all perfection
it is visible and ?
it is devotion without impatience
it is understanding all compassion and delight
it is riches
it is all permanence
it is the silence in the body incarnate
limitless and manifest, it is the
rightness of our imagination
it is the ?
it is all presence
it is what we know and it is complete. the inter-
change of light suffices
it is the knowable and unfounded
it is fullness and without desire
it is “the decided” the interchange of
light is final suffices

just a sip or two and buddy talks this way
the gift of chemistry
it was invented and within a generation everybody
had it. that’s in the record
faster than aviation. faster than money
the news went round the world
cooking is obsolete. you don’t have to burn the
chicken anymore to get heat
it comes in bottles
right here at the bar

yourself, poor as a churchmouse, can blast
open with sheer heat
the sacred doors
between the left and right
the virgins ? the music in the castle
welcomes with open arms
cigar smoking ?
plans for past and future
hot diggity. oh boy
we can have kids
and they will speak a seamless merger
of poetry and sound
the great stories shall be told again
for instance
he saw her and burst into flames
sponataneous…
…combustion. another case of
sheer heat

the instructions booklet with the video tapes
says the following
in small type. an apology of
sorts, one thinks
for the isolation one feels
in learning
exaggerated or just amplified
by the actuality of isolation
in the airstream, locked in the plane of intent
on which…
markings of the history of boogie woogie
stretch out in all directions
i think that’s the way history stretches out
quote:

television is neither true nor false
it’s industry
seven five
three two
television made without industry
alone, in a word…
six four
three two
can cause a sinking feeling
there can be a loss of trust
six four
two
fear of darkness, i.e
not industry
nor your own…
desire

everybody works to be a part of industry
to be a part of industry is to be real
six four
three
if you’re a part of industry, both in your
industriousness and in the nature of your work
there is a chance that everybody will like your work
because it is a part of industry
and things that are not a part of industry
are not possible to like
seven five
two
likability is less important than
recognition by the industry
six
’n that’s a reason to be serious
unquote

one wonders, naturally
what the average boogie woogie student thinks of this
but, then
maybe that’s buddy’s charm

this is a close up
an arm
big muscles
gone to seed
it moves
but first
we read
rodney
the design
looks chinese
flashpowder
tattoo
in the beginning
there were rocks
and on those rocks were harder rocks
