Encounters of the Second Kind. Petru Viljoen (South Africa) and Wolfgang Guenther (Germany)

Encounters of the Second Kind
Encounters with strangers
speaking (in)- different tongues
proceeding, alongside ...
parallel lines, in fact, does NOT
meet in the distance.

Not even
theoretically.
Optical illusions, mere
mirages dereflects the
thesis.
Not even if
one rolled one's r's.

  1. Lov & koltcha - jeh maan!
    (Patois of Jamaika).

    Stóri bilóng ples.
    (Pidgin English of Papua New Guinea).

    Ek verstaan...
    (Afrikaans.)

    Sensoj, sentoj, sencoj.
    (Esperanto.)

    Tek in front,
    bifor in front tek yuh.
    (Creole of Trinidad & Tobago.)

    Mach' mich nicht an!
    (German.)

    Ma-n-éwen nek?
    (Tamashek.)

    Tafadhali umwite mtu 
    ambaye anafahamu Klingereza!
    (Swahili.)

    Jes, get me someone
    who speaks English!
    (English)

    I'm buggered if I'll do that!
    (Australian slang.)
    Does not meet in the distance,
    right.
    But the dollars do...

    Eyes, ears, noze, tongue and fingers.

    They don't care about the r's,
    but for the ones behind them...

    The essence of all:
    Profits held
    substantially firm for two years.
    (Business English,
    current lingua franca.)
    I'm trying to get to Michigan?

    Beg juh ah lift, du...
    (Patois of Jamaika.)

    Park your butt! Park it!(American slang.)
    We all leave evidence
3.
before we disappear without a map

Uxolo utheni?
(Zulu – South African)

I said: what's that about dozens
of dimes being worthless
in a Marxist economy
when half a bovine is worth its
weight in a real gold sundisk set in
formaldehyde, when you're a hippy
trying to maintain perspective in
a diptych depending on
perception while reading la libro.

Uxolo utheni?
(Zulu – South African)

Hoekom Rol Afrikaners hulle Erre?

4.
The posology of  ready-made letters.
The logopedian of my choice.
Drilled to roll.
Deus ex volutus. Curruque volutus.
Perro en carro. Prablema?
Well-measured airflow, isn't it, Robroy?
Front familiy leave gave.
Nothing of him grandfather.
Says mind able wife.
Soft through don't mother.
Interest asleep father's low.
Children wanted for found.
Brother feacannot sure.
Aunt walking art following further.
Unrolling r's in 2nd encounters.
Utinam redias tu papilio niger!
Hulle Erre...

5.
Rolling with The Timer -
The life cycle of the butterfly
does not entail it overcoming its
condition. Once a swallowtail
always an insect. Symbol of
the Soul? Bah!

Robin, no relation to Red Riding
Hood ... isn't there?
Him, her, grandma -
all in the woods?
- and the wolf drags a lot
of baggage around. Someone
should redeem it.

Machinations of languague – an overdose.
Should we blame God for the detail?
Or the red-shift?

6.
Red shift over the years.
Obtuse buttock poetry.
Robin Red Riding Rood.
Stays with me
when butter flies by
& Rosetta keeps on landing...
Just another 2nd kind?
I instantly
decontextualized myself.
It actually was Cindy's
Deer in Casein...
The middle always knows
its ids.
& I went ironing
with my sponsors...
As I said:
Red shift over the years...

7.
Cape of Good Hope
acorns bound about
redirected
Derry red deer
mandalas - an
oak grove, a
rolling stone round
the river bending light abound
found, centred.

You can have your milk
and paint
a penumbra; umber
lepidoptera set in amber
jewellery for sale
lapaside at Cindy's,
there's heart in her tea (pot)

aeons shifted – petroglyphs
deciphered
rose coloured spectacles
needed.

It's the evening of the gods
selamathunzi
The Hoods will keep the
wolf at the door company.

8.
No kidding, fellow entomologists:
Pope Francis -
celebrating good hopes
on the upper deck of an A380:
a flying cape,
making contrails
for a better postfossil future.
10 km below:
Walking rolls at large –
there must be no parking
for bread (& water)…
Yet another far-reaching example of 
extremely meaningful sustainability.
It’s all Lame Deer,
no options.

9.
choosing this and not that
in the seeking - subjective lesson:
Vetkat Regopstaan Kruiper said:
Mooi Loop.

Tao.

The hapless Pope; entrapped
to a car parked, even now-
promoting capitalist materiality
called
Soul in Seoul
succeeding
a white cloaked bison of a prayer
in mid-air,
attest to levels of spirituality
the sacred & profane a
necessary duality.
The Sioux realised the chemistry
of The Hidden Third.
Teresa of Lisieux:
on transcending our condition:
attain sanctity in continual renunciation
in small matters in the small town of
Davidson.
'n Boer maak 'n plan!

10.
The subs take obs as property.
The obs take subs as property.

Looping in rhymes...

As the sub- said to the ob-ject:
"Aren't we both rather perfect?
In all logics painfully related,
even digitally toxicated.
Intensively like child & mother,
one cannot do without the other..."

Rhyming in loops...
To come.

11.
Orphans, barren mothers
in reality
denotes
the one without
is sociological othering
owning
marginalised in deed
over and above and in
negative spaces

An object, devoid
of meaning. Dehumanised
Does it still exist?
Adding value:
in debate - the subject
argued objectively
from varied points of departure
Transcending the question
There's no winning
only working (together)
a humanist inference.

12.
 departure of the 2nd kind:
- bothering subs
- othered obs.
paper & ballpoint pen
lie still in the paper bag
& a cow with a neck bell
looks from the outer side
smiling at passing futures
of causes & results -
the latter still being
revenge for the first...
Mama "Have AAA" sits next,
interinstilling locals & globals,
emphasising the normative simple.
sun
should be reason enough.
departure of the 2nd kind:
- othering subs
    - bothered obs.
13.
this place this
time.
Walking on sea shells,
petrified,
literally.
distancing, extricating;
people are weird -
dynamics of owning
land, idea, soul
The Middle too convinced
of its id-
figuratively.
  • bothered obs
  • bothered subs
14.
 the litteral 
the figurative'
FOR HIRE.
?
quantums & linearity.
the dimensions of
the postpost...
declaring desperate aesthetics.
not selling 
neither revoking itself...
while others keep on
mourning voraciously.
saving the falls.
I got up & took my 
minivan breadbasket...
to live the ablative.

15.
Inclusive life after
constructed, oh,
so reasoned, uniform,
argument.
Can't live
with or without ...
bargaining the communal,
soiled, ground.
Soul cloaked, heart embroidered
on a sleeve.
How much (more) is
possible?

16.
 human(e) abduction.
oh as the
matrix of surprise.
interpretated tags & labels.
a very anthology
of consumer's wants & needs.
oneness & plurality...
arguments of soul & soil -
be treatable!
the effects of a 2nd kind
are physical, at least.
5oo feet or less.
I noticed all the shorts
coming into existence...

17.
Consumed in process
resistance in the round
about appearance of a
status quo.
Oh. Those whom look
in the mirror - who's
trick, who's
treat
who's fault is it all?
Assume this ground sacred.
18. 
Keeping cool
in humanity's pool,
there is nothing bad
in finally add
AN ULTRASHORT MANIFESTO
open to poietic plans,
vastly joining the giving trans
& meet & greet:"A PRESTO!"

Screen Mediated Roughly Human. Cheryl Penn and Chance.

1
Unity Day
Day Trip
Contents are under Pressure.

Peace Brokerage -
One Penguin?
I count two boats and a helicopter.

I’ve got some bad news -
how bad?

I had to believe -
It’s a new album and
the sky is full of stars.

Deep down - Do I know you?
just don’t try come here at night.

2
We never talked much
but
I
wanted
to.

3
Frown photocopied

replicated a million times
so impolite.

4
Extant -
its grim to be 100.
This is the story of a little boy -
stop me if you’ve heard this before -
you have,
but don’t stop me.
Light through the rose window
dove on the slate.
He survived - but there was a
choice.
Is he suffering
or is he grateful
He changed.
Changed?

5
The story of a little girl,
8 years old
high on the swing
suspended
before the chains clash
and gravity drives you down.
Undeterred
to a dimly lit room
filled with the

burdened.

6
Kicked -
The grimace of Justin
free falling through
cracks
in the paint.

7
Will you set her free?
And leave
to
where?
Torch in the eye
a departure.
I got this one -
do you want to press charges?

No. 

There you go
and here we are again
an occupational hazard.

8
Nights are tough for me
Im sorry.
Open the white curtains,
let the glare in
and
the lift with a clown.
red balloons smooth the bed covers
because the
girl woke up
and still
they

watch.

9
I’d like to talk to you -
on a
personal matter.

Beep, sweep, clean
channel change
rehang the candles
wipe the stain
answer the knock -
Are you Open?
How long will it take?
With the color of reflected light
and sharpened ambience
just a minute
Or more
to die.


10
Press stop,
we can always rewind
Life?
I HAD to defragment you -
WHAT?
You charged around in my mind
while shaving?
Go fetch your stuff
quit whining
I need perfection.
Where were you when we became
champions?


11
Strange man
in a dark cellar
one light bulb
unknown image matrix.
Athena conducts
we have a location.
Despite the dust mites
and the jungle
I’ll come get you.

12
43 minutes 12 seconds -
how was your day?
Trigger the alarm -
Good shot small boy.

Do you feel safe - why do you do this, why do you torture yourself it feels like it will never end it will end get Sam lets run the house is closing in.


13
DUZG34 Linda is ready for a swim.
Candle vigil
why are you playing these files?
The window to the water closed
she couldn’t breathe
(breathe)
and
the
house
shot
him.
are you ready for it
are you ready for it
He was almost human.


14
Slow roasting coffee beans
through the longest pipes -
right now
its just treated
     a malfunction - they were
killed
by their own
security system.
give out the flyers
a lot of people were
not
practicing
due diligence -
a crisis in a house of cards
its coming
like a dark horse.

15
do you really want to play with magic
do you dare to do this
are you ready for THAT?
live another day - this one is full.

16
Its starting to feel like home

now that sounds like a country song.
candle light
(many of)
telephone call
hello Lilean
contratulations
peace between us is very difficult
you crossed the line
the border
yes well
two
stabs
and I have.


17
Daddy, lets go
I’m better -
shall we?


18
Are you visiting for the first/last time?
its not your call.
That’s a long list of suspects
like long pipes
personal details
that lead no where - we should
respect that.
I hate being probed.
its not a perfect world
The human connection is messy.

19
Please come this way
through the glass doors
of my predecessor.
Crime rates are on the rise
you will be safe-ish wherever
you
prefer
the refracted image leap.



20
Drip in a tin hand
a memory trigger
from out of nowhere
are
we
not
transparent?

21
How do you pretend to
protect?
Rigorous checks
killed by a volley
of gunfire.
It took 10 minutes for them
to find me
the facts
are
dangerous.


22
let me know
if
the lights in the road
the bulbs in the city
the vigil
turn blue
because SOMETHING is on
your mind.
The  head images -
just a child
projecting screens
of natural gas.


23
scaffolding
building the answers
to
the advantage of knowing.

24
Disable the embers
hack the hackers
accessing
In real time
a tradition
a party of parties
aphids.
they’re not amateurs.
push boundaries you have to blend in
this time she’ll come through
but still no speaking.

25
Is this the right place?
strobes
cabinets
virtual reality -
hand it over,
reality
sucks
virtually.

26
Love is in the air
Mom I said yes.
all we need is love
and a place
to
call home on
a death toll
of 23 from one
road accident
Why were they even born?
Step back in time
to an interactive ear.
Family packages available.

27
Cut and paste insurance
for being
almost human.
These are the images you saw?
I DID experience it -
the experience in the room
your neural network
kept me company.
The discussions about life
and
mail-bride order catalogues.

28
the conversations we had
did you keep them?

80 on Red.

We’re friends,
don’t keep things from me


the blink of a lie.

29
honor Aaron
civil disobedience
protestors
hiding behind screens
I had nothing to do with death
my system went offline.
I said I would pay you back
Its all in a brown paper
bag
I’m sure he’ll get shot.
But I was wrong
it was a
Rock.


30
She was filed as a missing person.

If you’re looking for a meal, there’s a shelter on the other side
- two head signatures
- red lights
- falling rain
blood mingled
he left the victim and ran.
no sirens -
lets go! -
Before her father finds out.

31
a gun
against eternity
no sirens
Forever must not be warned.
weak
but alive
on a flotation device
what lies behind dark curtains
and steam pipes
the torch light
his work room
its not him
he has duplicated his life. 
Discovered
his death
in missing evidence.

32
charger
you choose
enjoy benefits from power to you
power house
built for a question
what is enough for the day I am not around?
Knowledge rolled up its sleeves again and rolled out the answer.
Primetime
the rules have changed
in theater week. 

33
fresh take
old  spin on  new
         cockroach skitters
where are its mates
the hive
the nest

breakfast for you
Degenerate disease
assembled parts
for permanent solutions.
the evidence
is self evident
the genetic printer went missing.
Personal time?
No.
I’m good.

34
You finished his work
and cleared his name
DRRN reporting
glowing reviews
positive impressions
sore jaw
where the retort struck.
China town.
I followed your locator chip
wonder what it is?
A leg.
20% more power
but Rudy pulled strings.

35
Listen,
I know I’m barely human
but
I’m glad we’re together
to the enemy:
you did
that’s the nicest thing -
dude!
 please don’t do that
I was made to feel
(slippery eel with noodles)
robbery in progress
HEY!
you left your leg.
