About the Program

Maxine Gadd's performance from the Vancouver Performance Poets Series.

greyline 1991

Forewarned, the gull guesses, the perculators destroy, the
carnations wither, the king tells us what, (the perspicacious
dodderer on the edge of credibility) ganders unite to plague wheat
farmers, the bell tolls and tolls

cab band, skitterish yu dream of the perfect rapist who has been
already fingered, hammered, enlisted. we know how it's done, but
how can we bear seeing it? cadium veils

losing scruntinous barrels of tape below the earth-shakers beams
and i don't mean smiles, is what comes from flattering poverty; don't
oblige/ swan woman thot she really had something/ swallowing leads
into carpet dust/ another neglected science/ orgies in orange groves,
perfect little heckler, ground squirrel, gannet

next up to bat a feminist epistemologist/ what make yu go ape shit
over a 16th century candelabras/ we cld sit down quietly in some green
cove, barter for Labrador/ blood gush on lonely or ring for errant
song
