harlye tail rigid silky edge
chortles furiously
not going to even look at you
standing above
with a tooth stuck out
but you love it
72 don't mess with him
crazy three pounds
surviving  the viking
surviving  miami
showing   the butt

all these people
lining up to give
story for attention
easily compartmentalized
but never missed
with a cost unknown
reading by magic
journey talk
interior comfort
moving back and forth
working

 
take take take
good as seals violet
smoothcool riff
beatles vox
liam in bubbles
moon on drums
eno playing frankie

p's dance trumpet flare
singing pages of perspective
from a Spanish crag
soft tremulous organ
high in the clouds

strugglin in the square
live 1960 so what
slave giant holding thousands
every night in a glass case

 body looking up
leaves in front
pink glens
bitches brew smmmooth

your animal cells
swimming with  plants
gnosis

streamlined craze
in a plastic
cartoon

deep  time
booming there
is no time

but the best
the only time is now
not five years ago
not imaginary




eglyphics
streaming
art as language
picture poems
with interior play

old Grand people
sculpted sand
dry bone clean
cartoon millennia
virtuality
watching you walk by
seeing all of us die
without aside

beauty Catfaced  and 
cracked in open land

waiting alone
for despair blues
to soothe

shamed by exposure
of  details
jelly larva
buttered and baked
trapped beneath bone
not a peep

peering  at
a collapsing life jacket
forecasting my chances
in a land of metal
thinking

the sparse truth


the idea is that one can use randomness as a sensing mechanism; that is, as a way of extracting information about an object of interest from a small number of randomly selected observations.  for example, we have seen that if an object has a sparse gradient then we can "image" this object by measuring a few Fourier samples at random locations rather than by acquiring a large number of pixels.

this point of view is very broad. suppose we wish to reconstruct a signal f assumed to be
sparse in a fixed basis, e.g. a wavelet basis.  then by applying random sensing (taking a
small number of random measurements)  the number of measurement we need depends far
more upon the structural content of the signal (the number of significant terms in the wavelet expansion) than the resolution N.

it started out awkward

to look at her that close

couldn't believe he was inside her

but then she moved in pleasure

and took over


he was the sort of man who wouldn't hurt a fly  he was not my patron he preferred full granaries my roar meant slaughter yet here we are together in the same museum  i see the temple where i was born or built where I held power i see the desert beyond where the hot conical tombs hide my jokes the dried-out flesh and bones the wooden boats in which the dead sail endlessly in no direction what did you expect from gods
with animal heads
we're given blood and bread, flowers and prayer and lip service if it's selfless love you're looking for you've got the wrong goddess i just sit where I'm put  composed of stone and wishful thinking that the deity who kills for pleasure will also heal that in the midst of your nightmare the final one a kind lion will come with bandages in her mouth and the soft body of a woman and lick you clean of fever and pick your soul up gently by the nape of the neck and caress you into darkness and paradise

two girls in a corner of the party's kitchen
huddle over the stolen iphone
deciphering the pass
-just start calling out words in it
--jet
set?
--no pilot
next one
--gouache?!

children that talk of madness
as vacations
lucid intermissions
a repeatable pattern:  code
base of all present thought
