  “We began to find out a whole lot of things about the real nature of words and writing…What are words and what are they doing? Where are they going? The cut-up method treats words as the painter treats his paint, raw material with rules and reasons of its own.” — Brion Gysin

At the Edge of the Park

Where open space
And the suburbs
Clash head-on
A straight razor
And a prone young girl
Convert the abandoned quarry
Into a lily pond.

Right from the start
Oddly erotic Philip
From southern Germany
Shows off
His dancing skills.

On the western edge
We carry all our food
In the desert darkness
Before saying “yes”
To that ride.

- Jamie B in Brooklyn [search phrase "at the edge of the park"]
