The lord of scraps of paper
of wax, vapor and dust
of breaths not taken
look at the dirt that packs the floor
look at the sun, angling through the window
high on the wall
look at what surrounds you and count
count to ground yourself
to grind yourself
the bitter decades living
the bitter mornings waking
with what you’ve done
the plow bites the earth
the yoke bites the shoulder
of the one wearing it
does it pass father to son
does it recede
mitochondrial
look at the tiles lining the walls
look at the cracks
look at the age spots on your hands
knuckles knobbed and swollen
plastic wrap skin
folding in and stuck
they’re locked in here with you
worse, you’re locked in here with you
wearing grooves into the floor
look at the leaves
cut through with power lines
look through your blurring lens
you’re here alone
your conscience dissolving
look at the dirt that packs the floor

listing in a sea of kelp
a leatherback breaks the surface
rime crusted cheeks and eyes
nails split with salt
the rudder is long gone
trailing lines in water
covered in algae
the hot breeze turbid with haze
the map is soaked
the compass scabbed over
motes of scraps of lives
last four numbers of social security
mother’s father’s maiden name
a palimpsest of masks
a wound skane of expressions
sliding on this slick
coagulum riven with whisper thin mouthfeel
gummed traces of depths make gradients on the bow
density map demographics
data cleans data begets data
caustic wind of server farm fans
fingers dragging the surface
flakes of bit rot and fragmentation
the hull bumps against you, and another you
27 yous
hair floating in brine, splayed feet on the gunwale
disassociation via query
lashed to the model of a mast
in the wake of a procedural storm
the horizon bends back

Snake Union New York
SNAKE UNION is Chuck Bettis (Meta-matics,Mossenek) & David Grant (Action Patrol, On A Clear Day). A duo that works in improvisational rhythmic explorations that match analog synths and digital sound processing, modular wires and max patches. By turns psychedelic, delicate, and fuzzed out, the sequenced collides with the freeform as these two soundmakers push into new realms. goo.gl/eC0dlZ ... more
