I don’t know how to say it. This is the level
that ideology should be on. I am pretty stalwart
unto the bugles of the weird, I am willing to do
things, to say things that get me into trouble
just to illustrate the prickliness and rickliness,
the ruckliness and fugliness of bootifuel long wags{{{
but that’s~
but on a cold day
it’s nice to have a fuzzy fleece or a poem
like one of these…
I don’t speak Italian, but I sometimes speak
a faux Italian, and I used to go around saying
Ti Spaco Le Face for years
which means
I’ll smash your face!
It is something from an Italian gameshow.
An Italian friend of mind taught me to say
“Boogiamo” which means “Let’s boogie..”
which means “let’s go”..

To me, it isn’t the fertile crescent which

Rome itself is a kind of tribute to my weird aesthetic
and illustrates it
my version of iconism / total syntax / kryptiq amoebism
ROME is in Italy
which is shaped like a BOOT
What “is” language?
It {is} a lie!
nooo..
a tally!
a mark! x(t) [variable over time]
