Kindness Colder Than the Elements

Under the sop to Cerberus The calculating brain calculated his death His labour Went over the moon Just like the moron cow His milk was the kindness Higher but colder than the elements. With wit and cunning, Noble's poems insinuate themselves intothe mediations of "we use language" / "language usesus," into the objectification of "mind," into thestruggles and cracking of systems. Cuing on Hegel's epochalrevitalization of the syllogism, they begin withsentences-cum-arguments that issue from an everyman's intentionsand insights, playing into and baiting the "sociality ofreason." In the cut-up sentences then come the restless,accelerated themes-themes that exist only in their variations,ghosting into one another like the dusk and the dawn in a winging,distended now.
