Something described

and something lived



*



The reduction through

what is contained



distinct from what is maintained

affording its sense of a particular passage of time



*



The probative assertion

The word we heard



Whatever is primary

in the counterfeit

is never scrutinized as closely

as should be



Facility turns it

in a better light



It unfolds and waits

as it happens



*



Any two

barely two

but two enough



*



How provocative

a set of values is involved?



Is any further distinction necessary?



What holds best in the turns --



*



From the large and small clenched

and opened out slowly

before turning away



The way words

not the way



*



Who is responsible

for what is behind the paint?



Waiting for the starved edge --

what else is it like?



He wanted to say

"This is how they keep track of you"



But it could barely be heard



*



What still remains unclear when adopting

a lapidary mode of expressing the defaults

of memory, thus reordered?



*



Disclaimers



disconnected

by particulars



well contrived

suggesting haste



*



Though small experience grows at home

it will not be diminished



*



A specific diction chosen

for this set of assertions



*



I don't remember the man in the middle --

Nobody ever does



*



Every score must be settled

Every note played or at least seen



This is what remains of what could be shown



*



First day of winter



The words that are heard

for the words that were said



The words that are heard

with the words that are said

for the words that are written



*



Something confused

with a circle around it



*



This was who what and when

becoming where



Pure carbon

affording the distinction



between effectiveness

and accuracy
