tell it tongue it breathe it lung it
push it out with wind
say it sing it said it sung it
better out than in

in je ogen waait de wind
what i loved as a kid growing up by the sea was this hyperlocal fog that would come early spring or beginning of autumn, you could walk in and out of it, the temperature would drop with ten degrees. walk a bit and you'd be out in the sun again. we'd call it a sea flame but the english word is haar apparently.

so: haar

Electricity

Gothic Science, in the gabled castle,
where leering gargoyles loom,
And the machines of modernity
Stand on the stones of ancient times
"Igor! Igor"
the hunchback flips the switch
Electricity rears and jolts
white fire through the portmanteau body
The figure jerks upright, eyes open
in horrid parody of life.

Cause and effect.
Click to expand...

We have severed effect from cause
So that punishment precedes
the sin, or follows the pious act
So that words issue from closed mouths
So that the stone moves by itself
So that the time sequence is disordered
So that we get worse with practice
And perfect without effort
So that thrift bankrupts us
And largesse results in riches
So that no logic solders
Any act with its result
We have been set free
The great chain of necessity
Has been snapped
we are saved
