Jeff Bagato, excerpts from If You’re There

Grind 2, image by Jeff Bagato

 

excerpts from If You’re There
 
 
wait for it
 
ancient gel words
       unmold center
     coherence lack
 
      words made sensitive to atmosphere
              they decay
                       on contact
                 having lost tongue
 
     baby coo spittle
              wee wah
         nonagon clip cluster
 
         wait your hack
 
              wait for it
 
       tell a story or time
 
             fresh time repack
 
gel along.    a tonic
       a prophylactic medium
         against the decay of thought
 
     that thought thinks back
                    time
    fresh illusion
 
          wait your illusion
 
                 wait your decay
            wait for it
 
               repack tongue
                   repack story
 
             wait.           wait
