Hang back definition
Stumble upon posing creatures
Mutter spirituality
Poema 54
Speak falsely
Tell a lie about sixty photographs
Put a false construction on black and white photographs
Gloss over forty images of contemporary California
Poema 47
Contemplate Merce Cunningham
Beat the drum
Toast psychedelic power grunge
Poema 43
Vanish the patron saint of America
Vaporize composer-songwriters
Vary nude exotic landscapes

Creep into popular culture
Sculpture voyeurism
Mould another language
Poema 84
Put a spoke in a wheel
Give impetuous to sardonic captions
Commission Victorian engravings

Memorize paranoia
Methodize confusion
Flower abandonment
Breed the techno soul
Poema 95
Sharpen ambitious ideas
Strip space
Stun art deco fixtures
Stretch promises

Verify mannequins
Jilt Spanish landscapes
Quench idiosyncratic composers

Shine gargoyles
Limit dramas
Define red ceramic

Play tricks upon storytellers
Revolutionize warriors and shamans

smoking cigarettes
from a word
from a symbol
the sounds that slowly fade away...
from a word
and from the symbols
and...
materials that deteroiate
and your soul...passes on
and tape recorders playing in your head,
and the tape recorders are playing in your head
from a word
from a symbol
and you... just on the road
waiting
©2003 Ernesto Diaz-Infante, from 's/t' cd pr90259
listen to song
and completely sane
and remember always my dear friend
it's good to feel good...
and experience
the apples whispering red shiny hellos to you
in the kitchen
©2003 Ernesto Diaz-Infante
listen to song (unreleased)
like membranes permeable.
like variants of experience, like seduction, mediation, and reconciliation.
notions of my past and future
compete with my present.
bridge the large gap between:
physical reality and parasite meanings.
square face.
listen to, look at, the visible music.
the position of the guitar, the darkness
the irrelevant and quiet moments
intervals in the misunderstanding.
tactile improvisations.
a negative movement, darkness.
and colors dull, and colors sound, and bronze.
flow between my past and future
and flow between my past and my future.

(song lyrics for The Abstractions Ars Vivende cd)
listen to song
perceive a universal truth
feel feeble and corrupt
secrete the prospects of democracy
chisel tall green forests
cast rolling yellow hills
dispose of individual liberty
take care of worldly philosophers and anarchists
kneel to unorthodox
visions of the mind
bow to profound insights
crawl toward unraveling
arrange ideas shaped
silence freedom
stifle words and images
muzzle the inner light of
the human spirit
hush the sweetness of tone
cultivate the voices in the wilderness
©2003 Ernesto Diaz-Infante
(song lyrics for The Abstractions Ars Vivende cd)
listen to song
have in store for reaction
whistle for desconstruction
animals,
the guardian spirits,
companions on the journey
through a lost america
hang fire
get under the wire
stretch out a continous line
animals,
the guardian spirits,
companions on the journey
through a lost america...
