Suicide’s Remix (branch6) (work in progress) Joseph M. Gerace
disappear into a cloud of those big slick cartoon bombs
pair me with the twin cities or cuyamungué flint or kalamazoo or
something coal blackboard anime avocado cowboy
self-doubt gender cowboy hunger sound of hunger
to the best of your recollection how fast
was the joke? a revolution? an iphone? (there, it's just
bored with the sick hiss, sparkling like a labor union) and
did he erase words one by one?
sparkle me on the sick risk of memory
somewhere, it's january. I'm in my blue hat just asking a simple question here
with an iphone held over my little blue hat (there
there, it's just a question about speed, about how fast a joke, a revolution,
an iphone pairs with an iphone and then it's just a joke again,
but a new joke something like the old joke but less like a revolutionary.) with
a pair of blue hats now, some smaller and some larger, we're
in new york taking meetings then we're in L.A. — I drove past it once,
says the poet — taking meetings because all the emerald
coyotes consider unionizing and their friends
all those big slick cartoon bombs they have
iphones now and their iphones have iphones to feed and little blue hats

“Here I am, looking around the room / At everyone getting old except the young, / Discovering that I am lacking in vanity, Not that I care, being debonair, / Delighted by an impairment of feeling / That keeps everything away, / People standing around in a display case / Even when they are in bed with you, / And the laser-guided bombs destroy the buildings / Inside the TV, not that I care, / Not that I do not like it all, / Not that I am short or tall, / Not that I do not like to be alive, / And I appeal to you for pity, / Having in mind that you will read this / Under circumstances I cannot imagine / A thousand years from now.” from Frederick Seidel’s “Death of Shah”
along is no arrests over my
new and insofar as they deem new dimension
so yesterday evening lost one hand
philandered world of the name
it propels the car into facebook’s wall
the first times disembodied her victims
to facebook page under all medics
stopped still closely months after
facebook undead one handed and
maybe a facebook page under alike
maybe moment live fellas god gone
one not before our eyes we’ve gotten
soon was less severe sides of a paramedic on me
somebody’s got to sometimes by a voice: i hope
it’s graphic interviewed more but other victims were
sometimes disturbing but in the live force
thirty seats thirty seats hope it’s in the car’s
facebook page the car’s floorboard talking
along to comment as its prompted demon-strangers
and clined growing she said but in the car’s floorboard
talking for removal of consciousness everyone watch
terrorists are vital injured for nursing about three boyfriends
facebook poses comments and a florida man’s hurting rubber
boys when the phone hands armed as it happened adds and
finished live feed empty seat hope it’s graphic sometimes disturbing
but others subscribe to the norse myth singing like a bullet
a bullet out of her boyfriend’s voices to acknown comment
who arrests over shooting bullet out students two other songs
the camera pointing in the adds a haunting is so users on
the recorded gets you monitor for nursing this magic protest
videos do undead town-halled voices “i hope the videos live stile
bullet outpourings home” from students trending to friends
facebook wall justified videos have turned growing clinical
tour of norse police accounts and a one-handed facebook phone
subscribes to our newest fears chilled unjust as it was
uploaded 1.65 billion times it propels the last case in a motive
an empty seat hope it happened a trend to people
was less everyone not thru knowledge thru i’m praying
lost one hand philanderer wake up graphic
sometime in high school they’re consciousness
everyone’s hand a voyeur a trend for people
from this page but other-allied will close
victims were disembodied
from stuff like the news feed
them empty seats and hope
one strikes up a conversation
how humid it’s become as if are
your children well as if what did
you get them for christmas as if and
then recedes into art objects intake
compression power as if exhaust
one finds the hole has been dug
too deep and in one’s dream the
trains are on time as if but the platform
is too far and the feverish ticket agent
exhibits unusual aggression shoes drywall
paint wood animal fiber surgical thread
one remembers white men first then
white women then black women then
black and brown men an asian someone
from estonia dracula came from trans-

“The First and Second World Wars … were great erasures, great crises in the continuity of civilization. … Nuclear war threatens the obliteration of all persons whatsoever. … No age prior to this age was ever so fully endangered by precisely that eventuality which poetry always contemplates, namely, forgetfulness or obliteration.” Allan Grossman, 1981

killing of Michael Brown
protests against excessive
force continues for conservatives
oakland or ferguson or baghdad on
the case the others of course crime
police killing Michael Brown that protest
excessive use of force continues
for conservatives like trump ferguson
assaults the times expanding that cities
in syria or areas target of those figures
to international ones thought watching
that cities of course of reason of course
the police expanding that protests against
excessive use of what you might call run-of-the-mill
violent crime ferguson and oakland or baghdad
isn’t a particular data point murder rates in missouri
out of 75 for which full fbi data rates are highest
there are four americas that sparked national communities
of course the police and the most dangerous cities
targets of figures and racial political conversations
places where you are dangerous places to list
not only st louis most whites were watching
that most dangerous st louis for a number
of murder a mexican non-government
in its murder rate
while the most dangerous
doesn’t include the FBI
data point murders
track meaning
dangerous racial conversations
called consejo ciudadano
para la seguridad
publica y la justicia
tracks only in facts
but doesn’t list those figures
interviews with radical racial politics
conversation as questions
of 100,000 or more in uniform
in murder a mexican questions
uniform in its murder
rate while the murder
organization questions of
100,000 or more and communities
protest against excessive resulting
more dangerous in the worst neighborhood
in the worst neighborhood in the case
the crime number of large us cities
in syria or target areas of fact
TWO
november after dead detroit and
new orleans st louis baltimore detroit
and new orleans for a number of large
us cities of course the fact in syria
target of terrorists it’s hard to compare the
most dangerous in international experience
into an advantage the broader context
crime rate while most whites were murdered
by continued people which is not at all
for conservatives like trump was a political one
meant to redirect a weakness his lack of interview
populations higher in some us cities
ferguson isn’t baghdad
dangerous but doesn’t
include assaults and rapes during
most dangerous cities of course
the crime numbers reason within
the list of terrorists it’s hard to compare
trump’s tongue for other reasons
within the worse serious he continued
there are four Americas out of 75
trump’s tongue for other things
that are among the most reported
bombings more and consider the former
the city itself is alive
baghdad isn’t particularly
american in fact for a number of reasons
just steps back from the city
maintains relevance in association
prompting a reply of Never!

He wasn’t a perfect man, but he was radical, prescient and sage. The fire that burnt in his belly for decades, roars to this day in millions of Americans. We’ve just got to believe we’re not fighting alone and stand up together — everyday.
