A/KwaNT Xchange
T/Werk
My Love is an appraisal a composition
A gridwork hanging in the air
Fruiting as da/ta
A Guess(t) in the Machine
I am entangled into what is called a nothing but I called myself Yet
into a (K)NoThing that covers my body and is looking to fill itself
Kom/Puta
calculating every scar into an entanglement
into a gravity
into a measure
into a weight
feeling myself into existence
everything I am capturing
all Da/Ta KMR(N) NKing a G/LeTTeR
I am looking for a re/sponge
a MKRphonoscope
an understanding of all unKNowns
that is poured into and out of me
in these deep thoughts swinging back and forth
osirlation of a little face in the wind
jitterbugging in a garden
Anke djé, anke bé
T/Werk
The incalculability of this weight
A measure does not exist in this here and now only (Yetu)
Compiling myself into a code — G/ode
Jitterbugging — variating across a feeld of da/ta
Dancing into random positions improv a DyNaMiK Juju stitch
The density of all these frequencies pouring in and out
Drumming mutating into a NDiGi/TaL experiment of fugitive intelligence
Anke djé, anke bé
We are all bea(s)ts — Pan/DeR/huM
Anke djé, anke bé
T/Werk
JuJu stitch a wraps/ode a mel/ode
(M)MiRRoR Y? = a form of myself revealed
made by all that has made it and (k)not
stringing together all of my sounds into a da/ta
and I end up Sw/NG/N from the weight
(P)NTR RoRRiM(M)
I’ve been chewing up all my thoughts so they can flow differently
to be carried over new thresholds
Look at all the ways I can play with my diction
sound Sw/NG/N
Anke djé, anke bé
T/Werk
I no longer desire to be named a suf/fering but a sug/gesture
A suspension of a long held desire to come into being
(M)MiRRoR Y? = A receptive source = N/Dur
made by the NK of a GR GR GR GR GR VeR
This year’s series of field notes will be a list of ComMendMeants exploring the idea of these programming codes as praise songs of the nature-based hybrid automaton Al Kym/Org. They are part of the process of my larger poetic project KwaNTum, which explores concepts of knowledge and knowledge-making from a Black, Afro-diasporic perspective, using ideas from STEM, Afrofuturism and the Black Speculative Movement. This project is partially made possible by funds rom the NYSCA Literary Grant, sponsored by Culture Push.
