      Against stones of those who can’t ever leave this sight—

      Who witnessed Who

      swelling sweetness I know not yet

      When sexing grows stale so will living so

Encyclopedia Botanica

      or

      A Mother-to-Be’s Book of meltdown anticipation and scientific renderings of organic and theoretical forms such as the way flowers lie in the bud: A permutational Cento of Centos consisting of painful insufflations, multiple estivations, the calculus of various inflorescents, my naive set theories (as unordered pairs), vibratory odes in all manner of cross-pollinating color, illumined spores & how they grow in corkscrew contortion, all imbued with entire New Electric Libraries of the Body. Herein find random factors of the strange attraction to “hard science,” but also to soften it, previously FAILED materials and pick-up works, illuminated maps of misreading, specifically, a Trace Study of my Own Peculiar Vocabulary living in the dictionary, reading public signs backwards or torqued in the House (See: “Waking in the Offices of Dawn,” “A Demand for Fried Chicken,” and “The Unhinged Bride’s Index Box”). A deep pillow tapestry, the soft underbelly of the (not guilty) quilt-lined snow on 100’s of 1000’s of flowers packed in wet newspaper to last this linked act always with an Other in mind: molecules being excited to a higher level of activity by heat or unseen stimulations, through any reader’s eye to correspondence’s finger, culminating in a Splice Index for the edification of Ladies, Gentlemen, Sentences & new Punkish Geezers left out in the rain of the Sleep Cake that changed Everything.
