Dorothy Orange - Cheryl Penn and Chance - Aleatory Poetry

Dorothy Orange

I thought that it meant
I don’t know what
Dorothy Orange -
That I would stay away?
What happens if ?
captures your spirit
and we’re lost
again and again
under Red Chinese lanterns
glowing Umber
swaying in a strange breeze
tumbling vigilantes
drowning in depthless
puddles at zebra crossings
looking over her shoulder
at too many yesterdays.

I thought that it meant
I don’t know what
Dorothy Orange -
That I would stay away?

May I come in?
The final starts at 9
Don’t go to the bottom
snapshots
lost in the past
moments needing protection
from fading forevers.

Can you replace me
a double shift
I’ve done your laundry
since you’re 6
Back off
eat your breakfast.
The music at present sped up
the worlds first
hydro magnetic energy is powering up but the trains
are
so
s
l
o
w
on orange grids designed by me.


When did you do this?
why?
There’s something
you’re
not
telling
me
you always look down
when I ask
Tell ME!
I need the truth.
I NEED to know.

it will hurt you
the genetics
was why
they ran away
over and over
at 7 every morning.

He wouldn’t look at me
but a point
continually
over my shoulder
he wouldn’t speak
except
in mon-o
syllables
never remembering

even
my
name.

Welcome Dorothy Orange
to the dark corridors
of home
your eyes will adjust
its better that way
as you face
your own cadaver.
Orange yesterdays
60 seconds to impact
this is not as I imagined
it would be
you had such potential
such fierce intelligence
NO!
 - you only contacted me
through your averted assistants.


Your childhood
had to be sacrificed
for something greater
have your hands
started to
twitch
Dorothy Orange?
a hyper occasion
of genetics
beginning at your age.

The greatest inheritance
I can give you
the ability to stay alive
in perpetual sunlight
on burnt orange corner cafes
classic inbox
looking at the world
and
imagining
it
better.

change is not a slogan
its persistence
and holograms
hopes and dreams, but not today.
Music choice
The Blue Danube
I thought it was your duty
to save me?

Exciting news?
no,
stainless steel corridors
someone elses project I interrupted?
All thumbs
The cat had an orange knot
did you key in my birthday?


We’re a giant business you know
restoring investor confidence
did you have an
Orange breakup?


Plausible deniability
what was he thinking??
Did no-one declare him incompetent?
He needed you
to make
his choices clear
WHAT’s THE ONE THING?
THE ONE THING?

He wanted all the files
as I descended the steps
ghosts of 10 years
I went to Brazil
on a merry-g-round
the model thing was exhausting
as we watched boats
crash bridges
it was always
The Question.
It was always complicated
     I have to go.

There’s something on the corner
it wasnt his fault
the blue prints
with electrical eyes
Progress on orange
stepping stones
the difference is
no one will
miss you
missing
secret stations.

Same train
EVERY morning
a secret station
Cell phone on silent
     Hey -
         Can I see you?
The music tumbled down
familiar pathways
spontaneous outreach
the robot turned red-orange.
Its market day
can we salvage
the ground rules?

Stop humming
venom extraction
and don’t tell me I look
amazing
The light is in my eyes
and
its tears you’re touching,
not water
f
a
l
l
s


He WAS an electrical grid
splendid ice-cream
rummaged whispers

have you been following me?
going no-where
just watching 
transcribed brick walls
and spiders
weaving stones.

Just once a day,
some days
every day
to make sure
they drink from the orange cup
of primordial pain
an oral exam
for Oxford.
(the music was appropriate)
     Vangelis?


I was sent away
I tried to forget everything
including you
we were both dumped
pebbles crossing a river
skipping
like empty briefcases
spandex extra terrestrials
eventually
everything will be alright?
H G wells and the Invisible Man
     ask them
THEY dropped
separate orange coins.

I wanted them all to see me
but no-one did
he drowned in the first
hydro-magnetic power
surge.
The image became
just data
and the city
died
just
a
digital
realm.

On opening the cupboards
in a digital realm
beware of
flying suits and
breaking stories.
Its just DogTown, Boys.
Direct Nerve System Interface.

Re-directed trains
on empty platforms
petri dishes
of completed downloads
a deal
with foreign powers
elimination of existence
from Rembrandts tomb.

There’s something else
I cannot be replicated
replicated
replicated
I have destroyed
My Boy
nothing in this world
to protect
what I have created
(Bach?)
A containment team
dressed by Zhang Xu
in orange???

The symphony was
magnetic
Do you need me?
I need you.

I had a friend once
it didn’t work out

yeah,
me too.


Radio Active Isotopes
Amazing what one can do
In a bedroom.
Are you still going to Oxford
he never made it to human trials.
I thought
it would be easier
this way -
time to let it go?


share the victory
a shot at something great
while opening large handled
glass doors
April 29th
I need an access code
transfer the list
what did she want
on the orange river
the next move?

Remember me?
(Planet Suite).

 a defining moment
you’re wrong
  we’re moving forward
with or without you
are you onboard?
music gathering momentum,
spilling over costly books
chaos knocked on doors
the future
lies in
Well Wells
and diagnostic tests.
You had it ALL THIS TIME?

 There’s no reason we
shouldn’t be together
make an orange choice
between two domes
crime scenes
while the Other
climbed into a manufactured suit
and desired
the cut of
transmission lines.
Nebula’s?
Repeat Planet Suite
(and ask Holst)?

Rod said
Rhythm Girl
Is this enough -
Jumper cables
and Praying Mantis
you know you need me - don’t hang up!  

Two years
everyone out
it was decided to fight
the best (?) way they could
my question
can I count on you?
It’s a Word War out there
Semantics shot to pieces
on chaotic wave lengths -
will the scholar-ships
still hold?


you phoned your father
and he wanted
to spend
some
time alone
with
(her/them/him/she/HER)
She?


 No disrespect!
MAKE TIME!
She reminds me of Dorothy
without red shoes
and yellow brick roads
its bright orange beauty
and
We would have liked
everything to change
the few last transcripts
but
no one can feel sorry
     - Dorothy -
I feel everyone has a right to know.


Dorothy Orange
we were so SPECTACULAR
on supersonic skateboards.
Come my beauty, rise,
though your underbelly
lies exposed.
Vodka anyone?
We’re on our way to Mars
flying clockwork pieces
(Not Orange).

"...right here - left over..." ‪ Wolfgang Günther‬ (Germany)/Cheryl Penn

1.
the seas rise
& the average
adjusted profit...
electricity still
optimizes smiles ...
both
the surroundings
& the sheer infinite
need poetry...
to take part
doesn't mean
to live...

2.
caught in a breathless
whisper of
18th C existentialism
the lights went
out
the switch was caught
Right Here
said the fixing Man
hovering,
one foot in the abyss.

“”What is living”?

3.
possess & maintain life...
riding shotgun or
the mopane worms
of Mpumalanga -
&, well, nothing is
wrong in being
a secondary entomophagian...
using the wisdom
of the crowd to get
as trusty data as infallible...
account for life
is also quantitative...
not forgetting
Drake's equation...

4.
If I may:
for fear of an old dream
an alarming symptom of being
a PHANTOM
again
I try to persuade the
metaphysical dimension
back into the pages
of history books
where
Drake's equation...
remains problematic
in the Milky Way.

5.
mayday, yes...
    top priority for
    all matters of fact
    & facts of matter -
    the tangible
    & the intangible...
    new insights
    into the patterns,
    that connect...
    metamayday, yes...
    once left
    something fake,
    now being
    is same such must...
    the end of off...

6.
MayDay????
distress.
life threatening
MEGA/META Mayday
May Mean Heidegger
motions Kierkegaard
to
a definitive definition
of
the subjective thinkers form.
Fretful Fractions
may result
here/there in
inauthentic existence.

7.
strolling Calle Antonio Machado...
I summoned Heidegger...
as I  scouted a sparrow...
scratching in the gutter
next to the left posterior tire
of a Ford S Max...
& pecking at  little remnants
of prawn tofu balls...
that little thing was using
his techniques to survive...
from down there
having a nice look
at the artificial lobster garden
offshore... & manmade... 
Heidegger was about right...

8.
stockpiles of sparrows
this way and that
and then again its
Friday night
mean time - or
being and time -
a position right off center
ensures
artificial hearts
keep pumping while seas rise
and the infinite
mountain of death
beckons.

9.
sun raised children...
certainly caught to make lines,
could be pure napalm:
they are poised
to more evil even can do...
down is because how man...
"the ammunition is already
on our soil..."
answering alive  
to ends of...
the conduct of the so called free...
engineering  death...
policies understand blood,
lethal  messages,
pupils' vain affairs –
answering alive to ends of...

10.
staccato rap
and
discordant cords
tapped
The Turn.
The pianist paused
Rachmaninoff stalled -

any requests for
Meaning of Being?

a veil of darkness
descended
the world upended
the answers remains
un-questioned.

11.
sticker than sicker...
S.W.R : An artist
needs only 3 things –
praise, praise, praise...
& wanted to be...
then here than there...
tell you watts & knots...
iron domes & paper grounds...
thousends of people
sourced out & do the porozo...
it's hard to like to be wanted...
love to be a major troll in the rain...
sticker than sicker...

12.
Praise?
Who/Which/Why/When?
Maybe.
“Man is a Knot of relations”
says Saint-Exupéry
Lord Berber in a citadel
among the sands
sifts
creativity with a
microscope
dissecting the cause.

13.
I remember:
During hours
of idle talk
(when)
the Lord of Knots
(who)
from the odd
town of Nightmute, Alaska,
(which)
& in the middle of
Daisy's dilemma
(why)
with all its ids
went suddenly
left and over...

14.
2.1 people per square mile
the crowds are deafening.
Knot Theory
We’ll NEVER get our shoes off.
Inverted knots undone
will untie
the anchors of the world
and
…right here…
     …left over…
the planet will
     Reidemeister move.

15.

Radermcher, Rutengänger,
Reidemeister, Rosentreter etc.
They all deal with mud.
Do they mind
taking their shoes off?
Among the maximum
XPs of meaningfulness...
Flash animated
under the cloak rack?
Shoe covers would do...
What if you're out of space?

Aren't we all left undone?

16.
undone/strangle/mangle
can freedom mingle
with
tears of the slain?
mud skippers - we have them here
BUT
there are no R’s in Gobies
but neither in
in cloaks.
helter-skelter
Time to go -
where are you planning on going with
all this?

17.
Once again, people: 

De duly informed.
Left right out!
& include me
out of this jungle
of concrete immaterialities
ences such as
subsistence, competence
& existence
as well as encies like
consistency,
efficiency  & sufficiency.

Yes, only
knowledge & material
precede the arts...

18.
Reprogramme the transponder
Right here
move left over
moderation in the corner
nod if you understand
about to move
run towards the tree
nod
I’m on the satellite overhead, 
dropping deeper into fair play.
When you dropped in the
encies
the isms resumed play.

19.
agapistic
              solipsism
nihilistic
              casualism.
right here, left over
& for hire.
logins, trekking shoes
& good will
firmly included.
the algorism
of abouts to move
as sleep paralysis
comes to its end
&
A along with non-A 
coexists...

20.
epistemological solipsism
endomorphic atrophy
mathematical mapping
of right here -
left over concepts
in isolated corners
whimper =
just BEING is naturally
hazardous.
I told them -
Every lock can be picked
all you need is time.
this will be more beneficial
for them than I

Teaching is the hobby
Finding a way IN
where no way exits.

21.
I left the cave of
fixed  
bulimic
culture.
A surplus of  minusses.
& over there the thermal pool
of unexpected self-reliance
& with a nice level of potassium.
The  deghom in premeval dialogue
with quantum vacuum & me.
A solidarity of everything
that flows like time & blood.
& I - again - became
my own included middle.
Still I asked him:
Should I check on
my chromosomes 10 & 14
or is it just a bad habit?

22.
Another day [another habit]
What’s solidarity?
the Japanese lady knew
rain off her umbrella like quick silver.
she is in charge of
potassium levels.
look but don’t touch
call me Nuke my mother calls me doctor
10 years of tattoos
the biggest kangaroo crew ever
Trust me
you don’t want to know.
That’s your research division?
things have changed
we’re not an army
we’re the
chromosome resistance.

23.
Wallabahmullah later changed
into the suburb of  Wooloomooloo -
its sky of very fresh methylene blue
& friends with whom I so vastly ranged.

Oh, Henry Longfellow,
what rhymes with chrome yellow?

&:

Mozarella is  right on wrong -
only solidarity makes us strong...

Even the self-willed  anthropos anarchos
should use extensively dental floss...

24
Playing drums in the air
why Wooloomooloo?
Cerulean blue too
had much to say on chrome yellow -
a place of plenty
    or fields of blood?
the self-willed  anthropos anarchos
replied in pale beige tones-

Wala-mala,
         The Burial Ground.

 25.
To remember.
Approximating an end.
Non scholae sed vitae disciplimus.
Adapting people
  - to come up with the fact
  - to fall short of all expectations
  - to stay in tune.
Scaled knowledge.
Keep quiet & go on.
Tinsel on body & soul.
Chlorine chicken with rhubarb sorbet.
Right here, left over.
We'll perish with democracy...
The words are changing.
From why to how.
To cultivate bikes.
Everything stays different.

26.
Approximating an end
you can have the compass
she wanted to make sure
he would always
find his way
back to her.
Down here,
the polarity is
reversed
so take the hair
out your eyes
tie the bamboo stacks the music is rising
democracy is failing.

27.
Still living in the greenhouse
of my Mother Earth
I use her compass
on a daily basis...
Homemade pumpkin tart
&  forests seen as
antinecromantic social sculptures.
Instant the bhubezi
& the gender-neutralized nonsuches.
From hearsay & by safe assumptions.
Do we know what we are up to..?


28.
water falls flowing from afar
streaming among rocks with no end.
and the dandelions
are bigger than oak trees
     if That’s real,
is This?
the fantasy?
slow down
I’m right here
left over there
not all caves have         
Plato shadows
even if we cast one.
