From The Desk of The Professor

old slag value, as valuable as Value allows it
Then as a valuable secondary source,
 the slag resulted from the gold-bearing 
electrolytic mud smelting
 contains up to 0.8–15 k g t-1
 Au and 9–13 kg t-1 Ag, respectively

Coal Ash experiments
sorted theories and Soughted formulas.
Coal ash pits using sewage,
sawdust, and other
dissuaded organics
to recreate renewable coal.
Leaves, shredded wood chipped
wood ash, tobacco stalks
straw hat manure compose
all will be mixed and allowed to 
cure to recreate a renewable
source for energy.
Racheter l'ancien Walmart du comté de McDowell,
 en Virginie-Occidentale, pour créer un nouveau

Musique pour basson et cor d'harmonie
Ce genre de musique « Ooh Baby »

The commuter

You see the sunlight amongst the scree
There was a man 
who couldn't tell me anything
Where there was once the comfort
of the evenings telegraph line
he runs wild amongst shops turned into flatlets
Keep on a straight line
he has changed his mind
where once basson roamed
he guesses himself unfree
fortitude follows the wind

Delicate one
Gossomer glass
We hoped without knowledge
that this too would pass

(For somewhere a rainbow
whispers your words
Bending and stretching
to hear and be heard)

Delicate one
Candle in wisps
Breath to the sky
in a circling kiss

(Shadows were heavy
and troubles were nigh,
and now, without knowledge,
we tenderly cry...)


This is for Brandon Basson, who, I have learned, passed away the morning of June 20th.
