tranny trippin'

By: Splake, T. Kilgore

splake journeys through the most passive reaches of the human mind, drawing at first triplets of poesy and finally longer splake-styled verse. When I refer to passive I mean these are memories, and memories are re-lived. As the Dutch philosopher Kierkegaard once quipped, "Life is lived forward, but understood backwards." Is poetry a way toward understanding the past or is it likely the closest thing to time travel we have?The opening quotes make clear that "tranny" is not referring to the slur, but rather to transmission. The title opens doors to transgressive potential. As you visit the poetry, you may find the opening quote paralleling the work: "nameless terror yet too haunting and beautiful." Readers familiar with this bard of Calumet know the easy fusion of Beat with beauty's homage he presents.
