Write Badly

I feel paralyzed by my writing process: I stumble over and behind the writing, but less and less often into and onto the writing     Part of the paralysis: I have so much raw material and too much raw material and so much to write     So much write: I want to write everything and I do write everything but how much more everything I need to write!     I feel overwhelmed and I feel finally the crashing simultaneity of all these myths and narratives here now crash me     Car crash smash burgers bloated barfire decay     Book decays juggler disaster atom bomb fuck FUCK     I find some success in expression – the sort of inspired spontaneous expression I search for other – in freer writing and brainstorming in my open notebooks     My brain blocks up my brain cuban missile crisis blockade writing this “main” notebook, but the divisions between notebooks exists only as something imaginary in my head     I tell myself over and over again: cease being precious with any page or any notebook or even any medium and just WRITE and CREATE     WRITE and CREATE even without the critique of Asia in the moment if you have to – let her critique it after and you can learn accordingly but in the moment CREATE     Splatter this shit everywhere and everywhen and figure out what the fuck it means later

I recall the letter Sol Lewitt wrote to Eva Hesse: “Do more. More nonsensical, more crazy, more machines, more breasts, penises, cunts, whatever – make them abound with nonsense…” I think one reason his letter still resonates: the advice is practical and anyone can do the advice Anyone can DO something – anything – including nonsense, pornography, bad shit I make a lot of bad shit and I have to stop connecting it with my overall ability as a writer and worth as a person – Asia unconditionally loves and cares for me even if I’m a bad writer She of course doesn’t think I write badly – she even thinks I write good, but also knows I can write better Write badly But remember: churning out shit is an essential part of that process Turmoil, doubt, and frustration are part of that process Don’t let stop you from making and writing keep making and writing even if it’s bad and make the bad transparent and part of the process

I write naked ugly I write naked ugly my body grotesque carnival and I learn to accept the absurd nonsense of my flesh I accept and produce my nonsense cock and absurd asshole I go back to the room and write

The question of: How does this line relate to any other line and how does any stanza relate to any other stanza (I have given into calling them stanzas rather than paragraphs) and how does any page relate to any other page It relates through rhizome refrain, rhizomic repetition, rhizomic rupture (There is a rupture in the rhizome whenever sedimentary lines explode into a light of flight, but the lien of flight is part of the rhizome) Rhizome refrain rhizome repetition rhizome rupture rupture rhizome

Ten-in-One Taryn tenebroso / my extracted cranium cooks part of the candlelight tradition Ten-in-One stun gun bull run blind bastard other my other body in sections intense tents Ten-in-One punctures my blood-brain barrier a permeable pigment that fucks my intercranial pressure

One orbits anything Ten-in-One orbits anything I am the Alpha and Omega Orbit ten-in-one alpha and omega ordinary language philosophy Ten-in-One terra bella haunted horses / my childhood hauntology hauntology hauntologies my brain hugged by hyssop

I feel I fail the writing I rewrite the rupture and rapture I rewrite rewrite rhizome rewrite: I write redder river transparent Transparent blood transparent bone I write bone blade drill bore bone / Play! Fill it up with sound! Write rhizome bone home both directions at once Both directions at once bone burr bare bone I go back to the room and write

Write more flexible fluxus open flux fluxus Write transparent blood transparent bone I transpose the bone open then orbit microtonal Play! Fill it up with sound! Sound bone bone sonar Sound bone decoheres desynchronized / bone separating into sound lamina I look for bigger bone sound: larger bone sound larger book sound she lights the lights She lights the lights ten-in-one tabernacle

She lights the lights ten-in-one bound sound tabernacle Tabernacle sounds solar bone bent bone saw redux and redaction

She lights the lights ten-in-one bone tenor saxophone and I blow multiphonic flesh flows time fears no window I blow multiphonic flesh bowed bone cranium arrow She lights the lights tenor saxophone curl chest tubes conveyor belt into bone

Ten-in-One tents torture garden bodies bodies forked flesh garden of forking paths I fling my body ten-in-one alpha and omega tenor saxophone / tenor ten tent bells and prophecies

Ten-in-One tent Ten-in-One tabernacle Tabernacle shining blank scars burn way down ben bodies burn straight bone blank verse vine vine vertigo Bodies burn ben book blasphemy / blue blastoise barbed bomb large bathers My eyes inset insert burning barbed wire Barbed wire whistle while you work walkman the whip and the body Ben bodies burn whip and the body Whip and the body I feel eye conscious of the cymbals I soak crash cymbals holy spirit a scotch / strychnine bourbon

I stretch tent and I stretch time My body times my body times the performance is actually a continuous melody / medley, containing themes from Truth Is Marching In, Holy Ghost, Infinite Spirit, Bells, Our Prayer, Ghosts…) Body times my body ghost time and spirit time

Ten-in-One tabernacle shines blank scars burn way down Down my body detuned down Ben body drop tuning star of county down Blank scars bore stand stir additional bone Scars burn down detuned bone bare shoulder taryn star aquatint

(Write nonlinear nonsense I write her name nonlinear nonsense summa theologica monstrosities Monstrous vibrations adamantium momentum nonsense Write nonlinear optics ten-in-one cadaver oil ouroboros Cabaret bone book battering ram rascal) (Battering ram – not a phrase I feel fond for because my rain defaults to BATTERING RAM for alliterative verse purposes Fuck battering rams but then I find a different language: a raw unrobed ram that seizes tare as rhizome rabid scripture tricksters) (Trickster through silver in bloody / DMX flesh of my flesh blood of my blood)

Here the secret words which Jesus the Living spoke, and which Didymus Judas Thomas wrote down
