Read Aloud/Red Allowed [Experiment]

 I took words & phrases out
of a textbook, two songs and one movie,
wrote them on scraps
of papers, threw them
in the air. This is how they landed.

[Eye took word s/and fray says out
of a Tex book, too song s/and won move 'e,'
Rote theh mons craps
of pay purrs, through theh m/in
the air. This izz how thay lan dead]

the term is mimetic
Sufficient moments.

[the ter mismy met ick
Sough-ish shent moe men/ts]

Do as the band says
so the band says: "Don't
be a whore." Annihilation
of beginnings, everyone crying
as they see your paradise
stolen, not lost. "Theft,"
so the band says, "assigning
theft to moths. Don't be
don't be a nuclear...

[Doo az the ban/d say/s/o

I turned Ginsberg
upside down but I couldn't
change the color of his side-
burns.

small Hispanic boys shout
at my car, windows
rolled up, from a street
corner in front of some
red place called Alfio's

But a very clear image
of four people, half
in shade, the sun on their feet
father, mother
daughterson, brother.

[Butt a vary clear/y mage
