1. Ceremonial ritual
The videotaped be-
heading of Sint
holo, the horned
serpent deity, is a
generalization of
an algorithm using
a distance heuristic.
The map used was
provided by NASA.
2. An intangible regional currency
A woman lights
a fire with Reichs-
marks. Paper is
worthless, without
any intrinsic or
supportive value.
Only gold is money.
3. Few scenarios in sports rival the drama
He danced. No formality
to it, a spontaneous act,
the passage undefined
but the steps within it
with a definite rhythm
to them, excited, as if
the eye had just alighted
on the open space that
marks the exit to a maze.
4. A kind of symbolic warfare
Due to the medicinal
properties of their spring
waters, the shortest path
distances on Earth's surface
have a higher knock out ratio
than any other combat sport.
5. Befitting the spirit of combat
Jungle warfare is
archly mythic &
spiritually dramatic,
moves beyond
traditional industry
silos to coalesce
into an ecosystem
where judiciously
placed floodlights
affect the population
dynamics of both
predator & prey to
create new opport-
unities for innovation.
6. Ball-play of the Choctaw
In a hard freeze,
delicate ice formations
near the base of
dormant plants can
not be surpassed in
the use of the rifle.
7. The goal of bringing glory
Why is a game so
central to our culture
& history so absent
from our literature?
8. Those who took part did so in the role of warriors
Themselves in all their
finery, not so much
for ornament as to terrify.
Social media technologies
have rewritten the rules
of activism. The breadth,
the quality of its reach.
The addition of a wifi
timer so that the functions
of acting politically & auto-
nomously can be switched
off from a remote location.
(That information comes
from a Facebook friend.)
9. Each team consisted of about 100 to 1,000 men
Orthographic knowledge.
Masculine. What is the
sanctifying goal of physical
fitness, given that there is
no need, no practical
purpose, to completing
an assignment based around
heroism, death, & sacrifice on
behalf of a higher purpose?
Didactic illustration.
Feminine. Women have
lost their previous rights
of inheritance & the
ability to bequeath land.
10. These games lasted from sunup to sundown
The games are practice for real battles.
Seasons & bag limits for most species are
similar to last year.
Shooting hours for all species are from ½ hour
before sunrise until sunset unless you see a moon icon in the upper-left corner
of the screen for that particular day. Simply mouse over the moon for a
location map.
Click on any point on the map & then click
on another point. The program will automatically draw a great circle.
11. They used a wooden ball
Great circles are the
largest circles that
can be drawn on a
sphere. On the sur-
face of a sphere there
are no straight lines.
In Onondaga the game
is called dehuntshigwa'es
—
"men hit a rounded object."
12. The instrument they moved it with
Rumors become mythological.
Telephone numbers are
exchanged. Checks made for
all firearms purchases. It takes
a while for Mars to climb away
from the glare of sunrise. Sound
is the energy things produce
when they vibrate. The buzz
amongst librarians these days
is to become the Lost Cause’s
avenging angel, to show how
Northerners had strayed from
the path of piety. The ball that
players volley back & forth
over the land imitates the sun
& the moon as they move
back & forth across the sky. Gods
may play the game, so watch
your manners. Become a fan on
Facebook. A point of contact.

14. He called it la crosse
There is no agreed definition
of democracy once plague
hits the town. When Montreal
fell in 1760, a group of First
Nations people simply ceased
to exist, along with some of the
core values of Western tradition.
A line from Gottfried Leibniz
When the mojo is
working, ivory can
be found within the
pith of sugar-cane.
It is said to be
environmentally
friendly, lighter
than air, can be
posted without an
envelope. Only
the Letters
of a
Portuguese Nun
is a poignant
exception, but
even that displays
a similar charge,
obeys the same
mass magnitude,
is imprecisely alike.
In summer, when
the louvers are
left open & the
songs of the no
longer endangered
species float in
from the desert,
it is the best of
all possible worlds.

a complex of processes
She emphasized the importance
of engaging communities at every stage.
What happened at the Big Bang?
The production of classic Japanese woodblock
prints
is a quest to create a global nuclear empire.
How did they figure out which humans to start
with?
We protected data that was in corporate
databases.
How did you book your first gig?
Alchemy is a very slow & arduous process
that accidentally lead to vulcanization.
What was the process like for filming the
musical numbers?
We are putting fir floors in a new
construction home.
Is this the end of the Kurdish reconciliation
process?
What are the processes of judicial hanging?
I was afraid the day I walked into Stanford.
What was the plant selection process?
What to do if we wanted to send you a
telegram?
Chan(n)el de Chirico
The atrium is
full of lust but
otherwise is over-
flowing. Trains
leave beyond the
hour when the third
hand of the engineer
comes sweeping
down to identify
a sequential value
to the prizes. Order.
Or a musical sweet.
Try treat. Or suite.
Or segue into sequins
with a secondhand
train that sweeps
across the piazza
& takes the money
with three items still
left open. Cannot
see the fingers on the
keys, but the thumbs
are murdererous.
