Writing - Dissection Chaotica - Word Disambiguation Poetry Project
Writing
Mid mechanical musings
on the merits of masking
ones month-long stay,
something called
bringing self to phone,
realizing it wasn't
the phone calling.
Finding compact black mirror
coated in surface cinema
of fractal functions operating,
disturbed, direct evidence
has disappeared but
background shows semblence
and sympathy for the
dearly departed.
Writing words stretched across time,
stopping moments and making scenes
out of their chronological footprint,
naievely spilling into new time table,
actually preserving nothing
of technical value,
but the emotions are there,
waiting to be analyzed.

Dissection Chaotica
Austin 2018
Dissection Chaotica is an ongoing poetry project started in May of this year. It has been my attempts to re-define words in the moment, dissecting it in one of many ways, often engaging in many different types of wordplay. The Chaos comes mostly from the environments I write the poems in. I bring a typewriter to festivals and other gatherings and write on-site, normally asking others for word contributions in exchange for the artifact I create. It is a simple alchemy, breaking down a word from its most conventional meanings and using the energies of certain kinds of scenarios to fit a new definition based on a specific point in space-time. The project will continue for an indeterminate period of time.
This piece was not written in my usual format, but done today in my friend's living room on a laptop.
