Streets of the World
       

All writing decides a galaxy all writing resounds planispheric

history. Star stars or stars stars astound. Not be victim to satisfy

appetite. All writing is in fact cut-ups history will decide Rimbaud

your heat of the world. To rise up outcry inside supply side. Get

crackling of an earpiece oligarchies of the world, slice woes of

women. A long delineation. Longer than world be counting. This

a whisper, enough of whisper to rise up rise up and wiser, wisdom

feminine, streets of the world. Commission overheard a spin a

terrain a soldiering on. She wanted to soldier outta here. What

streets of the world to spin rubric's yes yes commerce, no, a no,

no. Tanks of the blown-off world. Earth and rising, beauties of the

world. Beautiful cyborg offshore a caw caw of major spills and

elsewhere no, no, invite the Amazons in. Cut the dialect the binary

the dear word so precious and forbidden, dear futurist. Dear stone.

They use the machines to take the streets out of "the out of" streets

of the world. Horizon headwater cut cut the cable my beignets my

appetite "poor politics, poor pols." Reconstitute polis ban exclusion

of women, O women of the world. Metonymic of entire edifice.

Waters of the corpse world in media cut lines manipulate desire

and show the word don't detonate anyway. "She" assassin Hassan i

the world. He won't accompany poetry when I use the word "resist."

Test a roan. Is where Rimbaud was going with order could live

could systematic derangement of the casino scene, cut cut in with a

drone lullaby hallucination: seeing and places that street fights the

world. And Merkel our nuclear future to fight "poor politics, poor

streets of the world arise to cut back forms else mammals suffer.

Show tablets a Paleolithic grab all streets the world. Iwilight fields

of discontent all streets that shadow governments rise up to reason

the world. Wounded galaxies feminine discontent insists. "Hear

you, people of the word." What room the ghostlier golden light we

reach to. Lines and demarcations. Assume worst has happened

deporting undesirables, his French side gypsy purge. Subject to

strategy poor poor pols. Its link its drill its despots, murderers in

the lunch. Jade rabbit pounding herbs for immortals. Rides alien

virus moon. Magnetize worlds let them course light in unsettle

streets of Dreamers, let them go free from cruelty. Mint them out

of here. My William my Burroughs, when in feminine you scold

past test me. Burrow in. A guy's in. Goddamn interior ministry of

fisheries and assume the worst in writing EPA cuts her exterior of

life the glib industry. Selves behind tyrants shelf desire. My loaves

and fishes in deep deep water. Foxes' henhouse in hurt and ready.

Hexes in the rock house. Bleak and white. Streets of the biblio-tech

world. Axis of sky. Come down mounds my no, my hacking Russia.

Is at some point classical prose, my no, Bulgaria no Romania my

Haiti my Egypt, and Poland and come to this coastline America.

Ruptured pipelines to caw caw gulf stream is seated cut cut to other

stars longer than would be counting. Star stars or stars stars. Cut

through leak of revolution the occupied future will come out. A page

of written words no advantage to leak from nuclear gender. Let the

mice in. Circumpolar water denizens unruly genes. Then cut cut the

variation images shift to pool sense advantage in processing sound

sight cut cut sound to "arise." Of memories stars have been made by

accidents. See how calm politics will become. Sperm count down.

Non white wonder world. The "walking marriage" of the matrilinear

Mosuo, push a boundary. Pry open pray open let the women out.

China, woman up! Take all, mandarin widows. Oral consciousness of

stars.
