not awful. better than most peoples efforts would be tbf

 

[Benny Bunter]

This looks like a piece of piss. I'm going to have a crack.

Braggart gunwale curse
(sung for warmth as we hid under the jetty)
Muskrat-spoiled oolikon
proper name as totem, ballast swung,
thwarts abraded, epitopic stung
(but only imaginary, mono no aware)

half greened painter slung, falls amid slats
pine curl, plane stub ochre, grained as fur velvet
only in looks and then only by mistake,
and error draws blood
soaking oleander, stores pelts and peat.
Beat flat with beaver tail, cast off, post-castoreum.

Return, pemmican smeared paper greaser
Unwrap a moleskin, castaway mussel,
Shuck and jive black magically, as if to avert Nahanni
Blade glints once, once only
Scrape, heave, painter loosed and spin away.

Did you ask chat gpt to write it for you?

 

[HMGovt’s Glorious Return!]

course not, for this, I channeled the Pacific Northwest through my pineal cone, on a whim.
Got tonnes more, there's one brewing about Romans in Sudan.

I guess you know if someone's managed to create a distinctive, unique style when they start to get parodied.

I'll have to read these tomorrow, the words are swimming before my eyes now and I'm up for work in 5 hours. Nice one for typing them out though

hit your head against it and it doesnt break. you fall down dazed, confused and angry.

there's always loads of hints that there are secret messages necessitous hidden inside, and when you read they do seem to catch the light and flare sometimes. a word like colloidal
a very finely divided substance which is scattered throughout another substance.
is particularly suggestive, but so is, for example, clastic, and dehiscent.
then you have what sound like instructions for use (characteristic of Prynne)

Anticipatory main element indulgent
for tributaries far up ahead pin nominal
enlaced pressure, clarify resection

and lots of pathways, veins, tributaries, joins, welds, folds, gravels, sediment, alluvium, dilutions, infusions, tinctures. as if there might be something suspended within something else, or a line vein of something glittering within a larger body, or etc

Explosive dehiscence is a ballistic form of dispersal that flings seeds or spores far from the parent plant. This rapid plant movement can achieve limited dispersal without the assistance of animals.

 

[craner]

Prynne fans remind me of Pynchon fans

 

[craner]

The focus on hidden meanings, problem solving, literary puzzles.

The submission to obscure erudition, the cult of the polymath and literary magus.

The pleasures of being in a clubbable secret brotherhood built on intimidating books.

 

[luka]

thats actually a big difference, there's almost no problem solving cos there's probably no problem.

 

[craner]

It's uncanny

 

[luka]

they're very different. it's a misdiagnosis.

 

[craner]

Admirable loyalty to the team

 

[luka]

just explaining why youre totally wrong

 

[Corpsey]

They remind me of Autechre fans
