October is the F-F-F-Foolin'-est Month

D'Count likes to use Heather Christle's The Difficult Farm as a blanket. I do not recommend this for humans. I do recommend that you humans read it, as it is very good. You can find it at Octopus Books




Last week I saw the Christian Bok show in person for the first time & was led to think that the Christian Bok show is superior to the Kenny G show for a few reasons, it's actually entertaining in its conceptual structuralism & there is something intellectually nurturing in Bok's work, whereas Kenny G seems omnivorously self-nurturing. Personally, I'm self-nutria-ing.




Make the robot voice on your computer read this out loud:

from nypoesi

CHRISTIAN BÖK from “Mushroom Clouds” in The Cyborg Opera Hong Kong

King Kong hop-along ping-pong

dingbat ding-a-ling
wingding sing-along

deafening
ding-dong diphthong of a gong

my tongue muttering
an unsung lettering

guys sing
something from some folk song

hillbilly billabong
boom bang boomerang

you bring
a dang kangaroo to a gangbang

ongoing boing boing
of a long bedspring

your gang
ogling the oblong bling bling

whiz-bang
lightning striking the Viking

king of us Nibelung
die Götterdammerung
