clumsy geometry of meaning relations, an archaic family tree, inbred and outward bound, spreads the seed of well-intentioned syntax over the moist ground of recollected sense. The gelatin of mutable prose flexes its muscular metaphors, migrating meaning through the fabric of letter and line. Awkward calesthenics. Words stink, redolent with associative tendencies and all their

harsh commerce tax the soul, smearing ink on the inquiring mind as it rubs against the glass. Offshore diction, once scorned, now twice wary, drills into material facts. Molecular mothering hangs suspended between original syntax and future semantics. Family history, translated into flesh, cries out in real pain. Before now genetic vocabularies divided into tributaries. The dialect of singular identities frays out in a capillary fan, reaching into northern swamps

Outmoded aesthetic effects sustain only the merest interpretive system, inadequate to the task of telling us how to speak the culture of things across the surface of recursive grammars.
