‘seminal’:
liquid crystal … (
persistent; ‘the problem of wetting.’)
between a rod & a soft
place … when the chic hits the fan. ‘postwar’:
quietly spoken, tom’s turbulent eyes. the self
effacing teachers. ‘fields’;
shearing the light … (science, the last daze?) quarry—the open
face of god. (the sudden death of eschatology.) freud, ‘the rear end of the world!’ tv, pc,
these cells flicker … america: dirty housewives (‘the popular soaps …’). ‘plastics’—poly-
merde. climate change; air of arrogance. (‘stunt men,’ acid rain in the lab …)
the new matt-
er doors. (the man who wrote the book on bubbles.) ‘when all at once’:
figures like flowers
grew in the field … the neural pathway home?
being dipped in numbers. (big lies; tiny fib-
res.) captive fondling,
these wonderfully flexible chains! ‘workmanlike’: women drilled by screws.
(capitalism, life above the shop.) poetic invention? to create new forms of
matter-
ing! ‘liberation’—
god what we found/when we looked in the cells …
