PHILIP NIKOLAYEV

		PUSHKIN
			
		
	Talking like Pushkin to his horse, I climb
         into thick equestrian aesthetics. I’m
         horseman and veterinarian in one
	on an estate of troubled youth, I am
	an aristocratic fop, hello,
	galloping at full gallop shooting at treetops,
	yahoo to you Sir in treble multiplication,
	I know about stallions and I’m 
	out of here to the city soon, I must meet
	N. or K., I forget which, and then the zisters C.
	Sorry, I mean the sisters Z.
	My sideburns incinerate the furniture in the salon
	of Y. I do not care
	for C++, for I live in the nineteenth century.
	I barely lived through math at the Lycée.
	I’m now dans use boutique. 
	Vous ne parlez pas Français? Merde, vous estes alors 
	cretin, mon vieux Monsieur le barbecue. 
	What are you a Volga Tatar or something?
	Actually I’ve never been to Kazan but I wanna go
	some day, maybe when the emperor exiles me.
	You look familiar, I know you from somewhere.
	So what brings you to St. Petersburg on
	this particular twist of the century?
	Lozenges of the imagination climb
	reflected in the Neva of the sky
	and in the sky of the Neva and farther
	along the Nevkas, and the stars, the stars
	shine viscerally like old duel scars
	anticipated. I am stuck at home.
	I’ll never see you, Paris, London, Rome.
	Adrenal memory flows and gels and burns,
	acting in combination with my sideburns. 
	I’ll show you some transculture. Gospoda,
	do you understand any Russian, a? 
	Net? Ah, then I must speak to you in English.




		A POLEMIC
	
	I subvert by suggesting alternative forms of
	to rely on outmoded conventions is highly problem
	I subvert traditional notions of meaning
	old structural approach challenged by a younger gen
	binary oppositions pfut, zagging across the page
	semantics of the visual sign can no longer be construed
	simple tertiary relationship but rather
	more complex more problematic seen outside a teleology
	principle of the greatest reduction I now
	am undermining a new body of readings
	I mean ousside as a colloquial usage
	but then again problem
	but then again no problem
	mindlobe how we undermine transparency
	of language I “mean” how it get rid of this illusion
	that we can see ideas of things through language
	no matter how defamiliarize we its essentials
	with usage of again technique
	sense-trapping within compounds to the bunk
	sense-chaining I believe the more appropriate word
	just as maximally subverting meter
	i.e. trying to write absolute prose absolute non-poetry
	generates its own constraints own meter own poetry
	evrbody shld try it sometime
	or else as I was yesterday
	subverting every syntactical
	by suddenly telemomma existence as structured out
	hangin three outflora gooters
	to specious and then I mean the sophists
	are clearly underrepresented in the academy
	have to try to hand out then
	man I wanna subvert
	something traditional language
	is driving me nads spuds exploding
	in the earth and then I salubriously reached the port
	the bloodmaster suggested I wait a few minutes
	till he apply his principles
	so I waited 15 minutes in the well lit sauna
	concresping with joy and redolence then the blurf
	guardelia hit the switch and the who bhagla roared
	splink splonk upon the capret and I had
	pfdno ek bawamnnnbh pevieg ba makmzinbb
	erated over and over again as a sort of closure
	abort abort how you hear me
	do you copy again subvert subvert
	and still meaning shines through
	subvert it and still it shines through
	that’s the magic
