A Sluggish Moving Motion Can Blow a Lot of Bad Wind
A philosophical search was conducted
in the dormatory hallyards
of OLD TRACES ACADEMY
for men and women engineers
and hiway sign painters
Despite a high order
to get the lead
out no one could move
As an essay in notes
by rotes
was never found
displaced
from the hallways
of the mens living spaces
by some fast
and fresh
raceing men
whose shoes and laces
had
in their rush and hurry
blown a wind
cause
move the truthfull
essay
through a crack in the wall
where it was
a laying with the ladies
in their beds
and privately furnished spaces
and the student body
had grown a lethargy
of slowly creeping steps
unnoticed by any authority
and coincident
with a new ruling
on running instead of
walking in the hallway
and all the evidences
traces
and changes in the human race
had never
revealed
been exposed or otherwise anoted
a letter
line or trace
of a persons' recorded thinking
missing from their evolutionary
compiled records
a turned into a lazy
laying around
late arising
early turned in
eductionals' worth
constipated
truth moving session
and in need
a near and quiet place of exercise
and a missing
thought and good word of wisedom
in their sluggish state of education
mistakenly all anoted
"I suppose the human race
was full of blows
the wind had rented
better places"
Since they had passed the ruling
suppressing running
within the
ACADEMYS'
naturally reticent
slow learning places
Robin Ouzman Hislop's poetry is certainly in dialogue with some of the key architects of the 'poetics of indeterminacy' – both the Modernist strands represented by the likes of Beckett and Stein, and the postmodernist strands represented, initially,
