On The Origin Of Geometry

Slipping

and that's how you fall
off
you fall into
it

the verdict
stretches
extends
honour
to the sentinel -

you fall
into it
and slip

It is
not the man who points
who cracks
he yawns
the gap open and rises
up

that's nice
good to know
on scientific stand-by

the bridging of a valley
in three-quarter time

when the stealth-dance speaks
and the candleman leaps
then all the lecterns flower

they are put
up with

without a hearing

Look, the craneman comes
between
both of them now start jamming
the great leap forward, and even longer march, the step never taken
that puts everthing in a different light

the twenty-seventh letter

It is with the deepest conviction
t hat I stand before you now
to tell you, ladies and gentlemen
that a limit has been reached
that boundaries have been crossed
that we must go back
if we don't want to jeopardise

Growth in prospects

This I can assure you
and I know
that you know
that I'm counting on you
because you're counting on me

Racing down the right
an eel slips one in.

the camp has been evacuated
the circuit disabled, incessantly,
incessantly

over
never over

you know
not this
never this

did you know
it's not the dimensions that count
not the calibre, the standard
the banner of shifting positions

you mean?

This is clear
you see
this lucid line
never shown before
innocence lost
purity renounced

ah
systemic contractions
configured dysfunctions
ha

It is
the slight disparity
in a fine-tuned difference
almost inaudible

the subtle
opening of the dispute

It is
because
that's why
that's why
