The Error

by Dawn Pendergast on 09/07/2010

in In Epistles, Work Ones

The error is lonely and singing.

The beginning of a thing is its error. It speaks of “insinuendos” &  “elbow people” &  “side voices” of being “botanized.”

& too close. The error is often on top of what it gets wrong.

& flat yes flat, a morbid geometrism. It hopelessly renders a glass of water with another glass of water.

It’s a kinship you can identify, a structural filament, a system, a belief. There is some lint or dirt on it there.

The error is the point in the room you are everywhere looking at. It is not a pipe. It does not count on you to misunderstand it. It is so imbued with itself.

The error does not flow. It is a river of cubes. It  repeats the same way without meaning the same thing. It stops only when whatever contains it finishes, like a sentence.

The Plague by Albert Camus

06.09.2010

The Plague by Albert Camus
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
To narrate. Er. To be narrated to. To exemplify a narrator on the condition that narration necessarily falters along. To ping death. To say there are no characters, only various responses to various feelings. To draw a line between one’s current place and the one one [...]

No no no news

03.09.2010

No news from the mashup, no news from the Rhine and no news on the filter I ordered a while ago. Nothing about the shared cabride or the nightwatchman or any murderer that might or might not actually murder anyone. No news from the word ‘willy-nilly’ tho I’m hopeful and none from my reading of [...]

Pantoun #2

02.09.2010

In retrospect
anyways, I wasn’t wanting to
do it. Except
maybe to undo
my old wanting-to
which (I thought I could) break–
You know, swap out the undo
pleasures for done ones, per say.
I thought I could break you
down. And that’s exactly
what I wanted to say
if, afterwards, you asked
me exactly
what I was doing.
Afterwards, you asked
if I’d like to see a movie.
I knew [...]

In a certain light

01.09.2010

I logged in and I was job hunting. I was incognito. Passersby were wearing cowboy hats and plaid and where they were pale or a little pink, I was touched. I’m open! I said to plenty of them. I opened all the windows and walls and I was like come on and in came their [...]

To noodle in the water at dusk

No / I have not / been

24.08.2010

No / I have not / been /a helicopter bouncing down the desert on a string – to liven / enliven / foreshorten / work apart a braid of yellow hair –  ’eerie rice’- that’s what I always say –   potshots from the plank, infrequent rain, Gram wearing his wooly poncho in the background.  We drive [...]

To the many to the one

10.08.2010

Plain
as way we/I are
embrace wheat fields
& goldplaces; we show up, count
to ten one thousand thousand times
to the point of nervous seas, God I–
now me People eat zero
day rot off tens thousands crumplings
day combs still yellow fields
day want adds up
muffing
Lord,
beans, Lord.
I half my hands,
rent my house.
