knowing. nothing. into. understand.









NEGATIVE STATEMENT

Steve McCaffery


two divisions.
one)
        knowing. nothing. into. understand.
        two)
                something.
                touched.
                someone.

1)     sequences outside of the categories
         labelled ‘telephones’
         e.g. the milk arrived.

2)    the things all found a personal
        vocabulary. every word insulted
        everyone
        without looking.

1)    knowing nothing into understand.   and
        this almost said solemnly was the one
        that least occurred to me.

          ii) i sent my heart in the upper pocked
               or perhaps we made the bed in two
               seconds after we eliminated the
               third floor.

        and nothing else to risk but
        to hear her drinking.   1)

something solemn touched something in the
              upper pocket.
   
   
2)

knowing something touched nothing without
                           drinking.  1)
(i love onions 2)

i told her so one.
in one second 2.

in two seconds flat
the things that change conceal

a system of ideas
for instance the trains went by to come
back on a roll of film

they were both standing in the courtyard
when i came she was
 
2)    sitting on the steps in a mans
        handwriting shutting my eyes to what
        remains to be said.

1)    an immense silence which had nothing to
        do with silence.
 
 
2)    for a long spell
        a spell of weeping begins to come.
