Today. Nothing.
That webpage bought from under me. Space of no return. A granular space.
Someone has my name. My name points to someone else.
I stare and look beyond looking. What I see among the infinite is
elsewhere, before or after.
That name will haunt me. Change beginning with identity loss elsewhere.
My identity oozes out. My identity seeps.
If I am bound to my name, I am bound to nothing.
It is the name that scars, that wounds, blinds.
I know you, but I can't remember your name.
I remember your name, who are you.

Poetics has no name. Language corrodes, sounds absorb.
We want the presence of the sound. We want the language to go away.
That and the sharpness of steel, wood, or dull explosive force.
That force when air violates air. When everything is shoved or shoved
aside. What will remain is this nameless poetics. You are looking
into space. You are swallowing space.
Beyond the infinite, nothing is formed. After the infinite, nothing
as well.
Poetics is the silence of the wound, the scar.
Invisible poetics.
The blind.

If you search for me, asondheim, you will not find me.
If you search for alansondheim, a substitute. I will grow clothes.
I will grow something on this earth, this face, this wound.
Or I will be grown.

Domain name issues -
Just so this doesn't happen to you -
So that http://www.asondheim.org/ dead-ends or so that whatever
content is put up there might seem like mine - but won't be.
Sludge-world.
Specifically: Because of identity theft, we changed our credit card.
It bounced at godaddy (or whomever was handling the account).
I wasn't informed that the domain had expired.
I was told that six emails were sent to me stating such - they never came.
I heard from Eric below who had bought the site "at auction" because it
generated a lot of hits. He wanted to keep it running as is but with
improvements. I felt I needed control - I knew and know nothing about him
(although he has a reasonable site up re: below). It made no sense to have
him as landlord.
So I said no; he wrote back and said he liked the work and didn't really
own it yet, that I would own it for a few more days. This was at variance
with what godaddy/Totalchoice had said, which led me to think he might try
and sell it back to me. I emptied the site, took out the new name for 10
years (re: below).
The problem is that the !@#$%^&* first site is smeared everywhere across
the Net and people clicking on it will reach a dead end. So much for
distribution.
Anyway be careful; if I had an .edu site this wouldn't happen of course,
but commercial sites are up for grabs.
