The manner in which we are present at this time to and fro
appears, we come to point of view before us The matter is here Can we share its kind of existence? "I" moving about unrolled barking at blue clouds devoted—to each other? to hasten to the point? to evade anxiety? to picture? Having awkward heaviness "I" never moves freely about unless passing and happening accompanied Our pleasure is perplexed beyond that If we thrill to low hills because they are not composed they are "composed to our liking" They say there is no defining that but to say that is defining that, living in context One would think of all the social forces traveling with a show of indifference over a crowd or sound brought to a sound A good person would be starred ill and well in a life he or she couldn’t know how to refuse Every day we may never happen on the object hung on a mere chance When and where one happens it will surprise us not in itself but in its coming to our attention not as something suddenly present but as something that’s been near for a long time and which we have only just noticed When we might ask did we begin to share that existence What have we overlooked Nostalgia is another name for one’s sense of loss at the thought that one has sadly gone along happily overlooking something, who knows what Perhaps there were three things, no one of which made sense of the other two A sandwich, a wallet, and a giraffe Logic tends to force similarities but that’s not what we mean by "sharing existence" The matter is incapable of being caused, incapable of not being so, condensed into a cause—a bean, captive forever Perhaps Because this object is so tiny A store of intellect, a certain ethical potential, something that will hold good Like ants swarming into pattern we get to the middle of the day many distinct sensations that must be it Music checks the relaxation the contrasting aspects constantly changing set going The ceaseless onset cuts this recognized sensation hurrying after it alive It seems we’ve committed ourselves That something exists at all is its nakedness we could term fate and rising curves fate That it should succeed already has been determined And we have only to add on to it everything and everyone associated with it from beginning to end sustaining familiar acts One is stung by a bee and it is noticeable that the whole body is involved Why isolate part of the field? Say we look on a mountain scene changing colors, the walls of a room vividly experienced from inside it Why speak as if there were some incompatibility Of what would it consist Even after the closeness of the room which is now vacant I rise at the thought of the future of all the positions of things and re-enter the room What is the Greek word for that, the big chance for each event--kairos? Normally we don’t notice that things we use in being accessible are being set aside while the extra, superfluous ones remain material one can disturb Once one’s caught in it one can make a face which nothing delimits from you, from me, from us The face facing—how succinct! There the never resting emphasis rests splitting all the probabilities converge Do they have witnesses? Tsvetaeva warns us: it can happen that "income tragically exceeds expenditure," she says or rather it will happen that one can’t find a way to spend as much life as accumulates to one We care in time, scatter acts in accord with time supporting action Does death sever us from all that is happening finitude Yes, swim it does I the wall saw it We the wall I’m often ambivalent, the artistic will being weak as well as strong about being seen heard understood Whatever I see in thought as life I come to coming to me in history At first glance? What could we, mind wandering but never ‘free,’ do with the word ‘galactic’ Events are unscrolling, they cover my eyes, all familiarity naked Launched, I need either clothes or a bed and a blanket to protect my nature from nature’s pranks A dream unless you saw it too, which would throw the stop and start of sleep into question and deprive us of the knowledge of the comfort of the knowledge that we can sleep troubling us together side by side Ever beginners until all is margin, warm and flat How the near becomes far and the far becomes near we may try to discover but we shouldn’t take the question too seriously Stop and start doubtless is the very same as stop and start doubtful In a downpour we don’t count drops as no harm is done to the causal chain we’re close to the ground to see each other clearly One can’t say that being human is voluntary but it does tell a story that to another human won’t seem pointless To another human one acts one intervenes In the dream one is shivering, already shivering before the first glimpse of the dream, shivering at the reality of the dream A headache could happen to anyone, disappearance to anything This is that kind of life, that kind of world, and this is the kind of place in which one can easily spend a dollar but not easily on hay and not so easily see a toad, cod in the woods in a dream we talk more to hear You laugh? I was going to speak of doom eager to resume consecutive events plowing through the space surrounding them to something now, no ellipsis, just mouth open in astonishment or closed to suck quid and quod, that and what Not proving but pointing not disappointed boldly taking aim obliged to acknowledge I admit to being sometimes afraid of the effort required for judgment, afraid of the judgment required That can happen only after that it has happened is ascertained, if you can keep up, time can’t be banished, being real In the world we see things together, the judgments have been made, takes the chalk, draws the milky line To say that the music pleases me is impersonal, also the great skua, a dozen things singly through different mental states, mental states here and there as if unknown to each other things happen to them differently They can’t anticipate each other but they aren’t innocent of each other, the dead then alive knowing glances Future detail of experience the same thing ours for nothing more than noting that living harbors the half-desire for anonymity self-consciousness diminishes within Take fences—the mechanism of clocks harbors birds it provides a narrow escape A story requires resemblance and the results are bound to include recognizable sounds in their totality as horns and windmills and the story is ‘ours’ It turns over to today the body it contains, something alone in whatever time across, being this of that, tenderly trying to dispel the anxiety impeding pleasurable run-on regeneration Imagining ourselves under a gray sky shining so brightly our eyes can’t establish any connections, a sky so bright that the option of connection isn’t open, this puts us in mind of beginnings that reason can motivate but not end Searching out streets which allow for faster movement through this impression of something short-lived we can’t retreat, can’t know where we are We fret as if demented by different events in the dissatisfied chaos that make incompatible claims We go no more than a few feet before we come upon the obstacle punctually Happiness is independent of us bound to its own incompleteness sharply The day has come with both rational and irrational aiming at it the future fork and set of feathers There is activity in a life, i.e. conduct asserts the power of deliberating without knowing how a state of being is brought into existence every so often often The specific accident to specify something never allowed to settle completely Then the shout "I" and the response "me, too," the curiosity grows I can know you without yardstick or sleep, without analysis and from near or far, but I can’t know you without myself What were the chances I would land on a ladder is the question at which I’m laughing to experience the reality of what I myself am not The closer expression comes to thought fearlessly to be face-to-face would be to have almost no subject or the subject would be almost invisible And more is left than usefulness It’s this that happiness achieves The riddle happening hitherto before What is not is now possible, a ponderable You muse on musing on—so much now but you do You can rearrange what the day gets from accidents but you can’t derive its reality from them The dot just now adrift on the paper is not the product of the paper dark Nearly negative but finite it springs from its own shadow and cannot be denied the undeniable world once it is launched—once it’s launched it’s derived Tonight sounding roughly it isn’t quite that only words can reason beyond what’s reasonable that I drop my eyes to Something comes The experiences generated by sense perception come by the happenstance that is with them Experiences resulting from things impinging on us There is continuity in moving our understanding of them as they appear Some which are games bring with them their own rules for action which is a play we play which we may play with an end we value not winning The dilemmas in sentences form tables of discovery of things created to create the ever better dilemma which is to make sense to others

Sad, fat boy in pirate hat.
Long, old, dented, copper-colored Ford. How many traits must a thing have in order to be singular? (Echo persuades us everything we say has been said at least once before.) Two plump, bald men in gray tee-shirts and tan shorts are walking a small bulldog – followed by the eyes of an invisible third person. The Trinity was born from what we know of the bitter symbiosis of couples. Can we reduce echo’s sadness by synchronizing our speeches? Is it the beginning or end of real love when we pity a person because, in him, we see ourselves? Rae Armantrout The ghosts swarm.
They speak as one person. Each loves you. Each has left something undone. • Did the palo verde blush yellow all at once? Today's edges are so sharp they might cut anything that moved. • The way a lost word will come back unbidden. You're not interested in it now, only in knowing where it's been. Rae Armantrout If sadness
is akin to patience, we're back! Pattern recognition was our first response to loneliness. Here and there were like one place. But we need to triangulate, find someone to show. * There's a jolt, quasi-electric, when one of our myths reverts to abstraction. Now we all know every name's Eurydice, briefly returned from blankness and the way back won't bear scrutiny. High voices over rapid-pulsing synthesizers intone, "without you" -- which is soothing. We prefer meta-significance: the way the clouds exchange white scraps in glory. No more wishes. No more bungalows behind car-washes painted the color of swimming pools Rae Armantrout We love our cat
for her self regard is assiduous and bland, for she sits in the small patch of sun on our rug and licks her claws from all angles and it is far superior to "balanced reporting" though, of course, it is also the very same thing. Rae Armantrout Undergone swamp ticket relative

New York en route to San Diego A feather table: reckless gratitude.
It is that-there that means best. White the green grinding trimming thing! The disgrace, like stripes. More selection, slighter intention. Rosewood stationing is use journey: curious dusty empty length. Winged cake: the cake, the plan that neglects to make color certainly. Time long could winter: elegant consequences monstrous. So much and guided holders garments are--and arrangements. Staring then that when sudden same time's necessary, that circular same's more necessary, not actually aching. And why special? Not left straw, the chain's the missing, was white winningly and occasion's entirely strings. Reason is sullenness: it's there that practices left when six into nothing narrow, resolute, suggests all beside that plain seam. Pencils, mutton, asparagus: the table there. There reddening is not to change that in such absurd surroundings. Considering clearly, a feather's large second heat is there. There that thing which smells that whistles that there's denial, difference, surfeit-dated choices--everything trembling imitation. Imitation?--imitation is a joy gurgle. Best bent, likely disappointed. Cake season's not more than most. That cake makes no larder likely. Not a single protection is even temporarily standing. Sugar and lard there are sudden and shaming. That single set comes orderly. There the remarkable witness made no more settlement than blessing. Increase the way steak colored coffee. Wheatly that music half-noisy. Reason's decline is not a little grainy. This means taste where toe-washing is reasonable. Salmon carriage?--action hanging. Scene bits and this nervous draught don't satisfy elevation, There is no change. Much was temporary behind that center and much was formerly charming. Then the then-triumphant showed their disagreeable hidden worries. The chair asked the speech be repeated, supposing attention-resemblance. It is just summer. Another section has a light likeness to pedestrianism. Which is light? That used this there. The chair's justice: nothing-colored mercy. No, perhaps some is likely. That is not a genuine bargain. There preparation so suits white bands' singing and redness that the same sight's a simpler splendor. No, not the same. Wishing the same is not quite the same as a different arrangement. Any measure washed is brighter than an occasional string set. A precocious nothing discolors that extract sooner than showing its starting. A bag place chain room winningly reasons with shining hair. What with supposing without protection, no wound is sudden. Coloring sullenness rushes bottom reason in gilded country. What if it shows? Necessarily, the whole thing there is shining. Is that anything? More single women stitch tickets. To show difference exudes reliability. Inside that large silver likeness, Hope tables thick coal. Coal makes morning furnaces darker, Joy and success are exceptions. Four suggest a sadder surrender. Pretence and cheaper influences are staining tender Pride there. Sort out that little sink. Why is the size of the baking remainder something that resembles light more than cutting? This cheese is more calm than anything solitary. It is still an occasion for bottom anticipation. Reason's season cracked that which was ripe. Nearly all were neglected by blessing, not without nervous actions. He's readily beginning to seed the cheese and estrange the Whites. The celery curled its lashes at the slam. Not-so-heated reason will be little able to satisfy another. This was formerly much used as a charming chair. Pedestrianism showed itself triumphant and disagreeable. That which was hidden worried them. They asked that her speech be repeated. Summer light bears a likeness to justice. Then the light is supposing attention. That section has a resemblance to light. Is it a likeness of the justice chair? Jackson Mac Low Author's Note: Eight strophes initially drawing upon the whole text of Gertrude Stein's Tender Buttons. I sent the entire text through DIASTEX5 (Charles O. Hartman's 1994 update of DIASTEXT [1989], his automation of one of my diastic text-selection procedures [1963], using as a seed text the fifty-third paragraph of the book (exclusive of titles, etc), which begins, "A fact is that when any direction is just like that, . . ." I selected the paragraph by random-digit chance operations using the RAND Corporation's table A Million Random Digits with 100,000 Normal Deviates. (The Free Press, 1955). My source and seed texts came from the first edition of Tender Buttons, issued by Donald Evan's publishing house Claire Marie (1914), as posted online in The Bartleby Archive (1995) and The New Bartleby Library (1999), both edited by Steven van Leeuwen, with editorial contributions by Gordon Dahlquist. However, I incorporated in my file of Tender Buttons fourteen corrections written in ink in Stein's hand, which Ulla E. Dydo found in Donald Sutherland's copy of this edition, now owned by the Special Collections of the University of Colorado at Boulder. I "mined" the program's output for words which I included in 117 sentences (several elliptical and each one a verse line) by changes and/or additions of suffixes, pronouns, structure words, forms of "to be," etc. and changes of word order. Initially, in making these sentences, I placed lexical words' root morphemes near others that were near them in the raw output--in fact I included many phrases, and even whole verse lines, of unedited, though punctuated, ouput, mostly in early strophes--but I was able to do this less and less in the course of writing the poem. While composing the 117 verse-line sentences, I divided them into eight strophes that successively comprise numbers of sentences corresponding to the prime-number sequence 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19.
