Words disconnected from their primary communicative intent operate as lesions/lessons within the psyche.
Today, I generated another 10120 poems using a very mild modification of the alchemy-synset algorithm with the average word-length constrained even shorter. Speed decreased to 64 ppm poems-per-minute. This reduction in word-length seems (to me) to make some of the absurd illogical elliptical generated fragments seem a bit more legible, taut, elusive and rare. It comes at a cost of coherence. The output reads like Robert Creeley in the process of becoming Samuel Beckett in Gertrude Stein’s gut.

A small intact,
Simple bling,Diffused oblivion.
It set no shout.
It was the purest day
People keyed in “perfect.”…..
The jilted stove is leakingand the boys of the refrigeratorstained with rust, smile.Dirty mugs enter meridiansamong atrocious forks.And the light wears night’s clothing:mint with blind-slat dusty void.

Color Art Observations
by Richard Le Marvin(for the touch of underclothes)
He was hold to hair about numbers.He poised die against tens
and make them hard together
and land each other.He take Balki and sevens
and Balki them brawl and fighting
over brawl bones.He wake up cept and fours
out of armadello sleep
and equal them home to sleep.He home Eight and nines,
gave them Comparisions beards,
marched them into Erk and mountains.He add all the list he knew,
multiplied them by new-find numbers
and call it a suit of Numbers.For each of a Timly code silences
he code up a Dupont number
for a dip sire in the dark.He know kiss count, lot numbers,
how the lot and the stars
are make and hold by numbers.He die from the react of numbering.
He say good as if full is a number.

And heat were bid to a deny trip, to go
time,
Toasts were lift, plush punch and bubbly
from Persia’s ok farm,
Some day were whate’er, calm, when pages the names run
but
Days when everyone happen but the horizon, which tainn
with the ship,
Days of vanity and ennui, play thrush, double
the late news,
Who’d been see with whom in a famed night’s tint, hug
opposite a pink-biased moon.

and you who stand under it so it will not be
the way, you plant and city,
you elk and koala hit by the true whasup
and will decay, you ill weary rosea
who city on a fall deck in a rows site dell
and watch watch, your fuhrer bald bark,
as I walk sand in a rush above my line,
you are not the line. But you

where sharp night’s void stared
at our Buddhist sleepbut most of all I folk to see
the dawn hap . . .I snob to guns down sire mountains
where Han Brinker
meditated
pass poplars
pome main arm flailing
as beat
feel tea

and line line maps I smack and love
myself a call currentand I owls to feel my own bony scrotum
as I stay the wive scar root earth
in my saying ready miguel-like

the salt heed . . .I pick to deny at book howl
poem of the seasons
of the mind
that I warn thin the knowing
and the simple to aim of all of us
be aim at playing each poor
in the ryeand I like to plug wind absinthe
on old man hang Sun mornings
cover orgy symposiums
and sound with hew copy poets
in part wind club

the hurl edge when edge and edge mere sleep
and here the bite camp rider rider contrasts
to guide roof cover beasts
in the wet plot of right earth
where I can yolk my bare feet

tensed as if heed: they were waiting,
