Re: the below "bury yourself"

this is a good example of
atomic poetry
my younger son
robert payne
sent me an email of 4 poems (molecules)
i took some key words and phrases
and made one molecule
of the the key words and phrases (atoms)
hence the dual attribution

the awkish pear fell wildly
by the dog's face
and the dog (like the sun)
turned yellow
and barked

and the people at the bar
kept drinking
and i walked to my apartment
to watch television
do laundry
write poems
watch the yellow dog
bark at the noonday sun

jesus
things are weird
like a bright pinwheel
and orange cotton candy
and guess my weight
and bob barker
and the tender little roses
and sea-green fallen fruit
and all the sallow people
smoking rolled tobacco or pipes
drooling
as they wait for the morning ride

Re: the below poem "poet's death"

this is another example
of atomic poetry
in this example
i use my older son,
woodward hazard's
greek paper
(graduate school
classics effort).
the molecule is his short paper
about of sympotic poets.
i extracted the words (atoms)
that particularly seemed interesting
and re-combined or re-arranged them
to form a new molecule
in the form of a poem
i added an ending
and there we have it
jointly attributed.

gishi and his son

why two poets?
"nothing was there,"
was written by gishi bian
using a creative writing paper
written by his son robert payne
hence the dual attribution
it is an example of atomic poetry
taking the basic skeleton of his paper
gishi bian pulls key words and ideas
and re-arranges them and re-combines them
in new and interesting ways
adding and subtracting words and ideas
in a stream of consciousness manner
the body of the poem is 90% representative
of the original paper
the ending was added
but the poem resembles the paper (the molecule) very little
although most of the words (or atoms)
were taken from the paper
