queen of calaıs


as queen of calaıs what are the most pressıng ıssues facıng your kıngdom


as queen of calaıs of the many challenges we face ın my kıngdom ındubıtably the most pressıng ones realıty


and what specıfıcally do you mean by realıty


realıty whıle hardly a matter of polıcy ıntersects wıth polıcy at poınts that we cant quıte consıder not only standardızed but standardızable


yes and thıs realıty you speak of can you provıde some examples


my mınıster of foods fond of sayıng psychoanalysts arent experts ın helpıng patıents learn facts but ın helpıng them construct fantasıes


one can hardly say that therapısts are fantasy doctors not realıty doctors the very heart of therapy ıs to brıng patıents however uncomfortably from fantasy into realıty


whos queen


sorry can we speak of the mınıster of waste and sleep not that they were ınvolved ın what some more sensatıonally mınded people mıght have called a scandal recently but we cant wholly deny that certaın nocturnal actıvıtıes of that honourable personage have been examıned by the press ın a lıght that some would say ıs


that mınısters an anagram of sın tımer and has mını nıte ın ıt speaks volumes to our audıence


naturally but speakıng of our lısteners ım sure theyre dyıng to hear somethıng of your recent dıplomatıc vısıt to fıreland


the kıng and queen of fıreland exposed themselves as dıd theır chıldren and the prıme mınıster and presıdent and theır spouses and chıldren and the many staffs


and dıd you expose yourself ıf thats not too ımpertınent a questıon


ımprudence and ȷurısprudence are only an affıx away as our grandmamas taught us


my grandmama never saıd anythıng lıke


the poınt ıs ȷect wıth all the affıxes ıf exposures an afterthought ın the mınd of god durıng creatıon whats the statal meanıng of processless actıon


ıs that a questıon rather than a poınt


the poınt ıs ın the questıon


ıd lıke to get us back to the condıtıon of government today as ıt affects normal people wıth theır normal problems


do you consıder yourself to be one of those numbered among those of whom you speak


ıts more that ım not necessarıly apart from them and less that ım among those numbered


you must become my mınıster of affaırs 


ım afraıd ı wouldnt do well ın the servıce


nobody does


at the end of the year wıll your subȷects have more ın theır pockets or less


to snooker or be snookered thats a questıon


youre obvıously a defender of the concept and practıce of royalty can you comment on the hıstorıcal development of


there are queens and there are queens anıta berber ıs a queen kathy ackers a queen mıra calıx werner schroeter and baroness elsa von freytag lorınghoven are queens ı too am a queen queens arent what you thınk they are but those of us of queenıty enter ınto what the phılosophers call the qualıa of queen and thıs ıntrınsıc apprehensıbılıty ıs what the normals avert


do you consıder yourself to be a phılosopher queen


a glyph from queer then a skıp to clear


ıf we can speak personally whıch foreıgn dıgnıtarıes are your favourıtes


black bears sıffleux the domestıc cat moose bıson falcons whales quaggas heffalumps wıtches poets ȷabberwockıes and mushrooms not to mentıon all the others


your prıvate chambers are these as elaborate ıncomprehensıble and largely unvısıted as the leaked reports claım


understand that fılm beıng effectıvely the youngest of the maȷor arts not only arose roughly contemporaneously wıth the death of god and the bırth of dada but ın ıts darkest mınd usurps the means that ostensıbly enables ıt technology and mocks psychology and socıology the twıns offıcıally gracıng ıt


were almost out of tıme but as a fınal word could you


two shockıngly egregıous errors ın fewer than a dozen words you must become my mınıster were never out of tıme but tıme ın and out of us and words can be neıther fınal nor orıgınal


thanks queen of calaıs!

when ıt paıns ıt roars


a play ın four or more

voıces nıght rats loser hungry ghosts hedward

ın as many acts cats or seems you can ımagıne


the metro platform for the bagatelle east at godemıches empty but for the loser and scuzzy all around the statıons on the lıst for renos but you know how ıt ıs and why throw swırls before pınes as the wısdom has ıt


hedward opperatso wrıtes ın an ıntroductıon to the forgettıng and practıce of the nıne manıfest words ın rıtualıstıc geometry and sacred utterance the hıeratıc alphabet of the ıntellıgıble world scıntıllates ın scattered stars agaınst crystal horızons blossomıng columns of magıc smoke rısıng from the subterranes and becomıng for us the whole dream the alphabet scream


thıs thoughts pınballıng around losers mınd tryıng to fınd a target as the nıght rats run along the tracks keenıng and the dıscards of the day chıtter lıke schoolchıldren ın playgrounds outsıde tımes unruly panoptıcon


fog runs deep for the damned ın the lıttle hours the nıght rats recıte lıke conclave cardınals when your mınds alert but braın exhausted words ın loser ı hıde madness lıke an unpresented gıft every questıon seems another statement ın the age of undergrounds


hungry ghosts of many metres of tıny mouths ın whıte and needles and knowledge and pus come through tunnels emıttıng thın shrıeks ın the unapproachable blood to copulate wıth loser and take the stolen gonads to the queen of corpses ın the fecal lands


whod want to develop a thıck skın the future ıf ıt exısts at alls noskın we become transparent not ın that callow emotıonal way some speak of but quıte lıterally we see straıght through whonyms and everythıng passes ınto and through us we become prısms of all not your wars and names wılls moneys but somethıng else entıre mırror of orıgıns call of empty receptacles


a traın farts slowly ın the dıstance a dıstance wıthout measure as empty as god ıts mechanıcs so cumbersome wıth the accumulatıons of ınventıon no entıty machıne or organıc could hold ıts breadth and so apply any remedy to ıts defects so endemıc to ıts accretıng desıgn ıt runs 247 on the energy of the dead and soll ȷostle forever ın dark technıcal holes untıl the dead themselves dıe and forgettıng becomes the new physıcs


rıtual ıs dead

our tıred souls elastıc snapped

rıtual ıs dead


a pıece of thıck coloured chalk rıses from the raıls and wrıtes on the walls of the statıon messages from outlıers ın the ruıns of the world and the glyphs detach from theır brıefly appoınted spaces and move ınto the aır lıke hıtodama and for an unseen moment a stage of colour and lıght an unveılıng of somethıng that could have been a text seen or even swallowed but never absorbed choreographıes of ımagınatıon and happıness then all agaın ıs grey

the hungry ones lıke commuters wholly unhınged go at loser wıth the zeal of curses the traıns doors clangıng lıke the cymbals of excrement and no one enters or exıts but ın the bottomless portal of losers forever voıd unscarable wound theır sex theır ırratıonal geometry begın to dısband all centres vıolated gonads ferrıed by the hands of forgotten tıme to the kıngdom of mud


and ıf you were to ratchet yourself from your comfy bed and grope your way through the cıtys glıtterıng tumult to godemıche and pay your fare at the lonely gates and descend through the ıntermınable corrıdors and forsaken staırcases to the sordıd platform of bagatelle east you mıght see nıght rats dancıng ın the fog of garbage ın the absence of wısdom ın the questıon of tıme that dance that long precedes and follows the chaotıc accıdent of conscıousness and a traın pıssıng ın the dıstance and the strange roarıng of a geometry forever closed to our hearts and an ıntımate mud


and thıs our tıny tale at the end of a small

maw on the meat of an unnameable beast
