  “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

Season of Wants, by video poegler Ron Diorio.

Search phrase “a season of wants”

Some bad news

Some bad news
tempted by unsolicited emails
filled with eloquent musings
people with a passion
Teens
Glamourous
and Natural

A guidebook
reveals the workings
living as a secret
living as a mystery
tricks
tips
deception,
evasion,
lying,
Misappropriation
cover-stories,
and misdirection

A very expensive Fairy tale
Romantic lingerie,
nylon stockings,
garter belts and girdles

Bottom Line

And thanks to Readers like me
shabby exposed
altered lifestyle
a vibrant environment of youth
rebellion
and desire.

Complexities?

It Ends

The assessment?

Send this to everyone you love
or care about
or even think is really nice
including the person that sent it toyou.
If you send this to 10 people in the next 43 minutes
then tomorrow will be the best day ever.

-Ron in Washington Heights (search phrase “secret”, results from 100 pages with some text appropriated from a spam email)

Ron Diorio composed this first-ever poegle by searching the phrase “night light” and mashing together the results.  He looked through 310 pages of results to arrive at the text accompanying this video sequence, which features art from his collection of works, currently on display at the Peter Hay Halpert fine art gallery in New York.

You can read Ron’s blog here.  You can see the video poegle here.  And below, here is the text of the poegle:

Night Light

Today
the night walk
I come to see
no outlet
but
the same night lights

on the streets
low-income party people
exploited women
well-wishers
and
sympathizers

everyday
a Deadman Crescent Moon

Some domestic
others
international
nowadays
indoor
areas that become dark
God
Guts
mostly progressive
decorative
Yes
All-American, not so much

-Ron Diorio in New York
