jackie chan poetics

 in re ouyang yu's 'found poetry'

poetry is everywhere & everything
much like duchamp's readymades 
that art can be made from anything

still & yet the motive moves into why
would you want to make art from a slice of toast
or your grandfather's carburetor

when more glad tidings can be made from the hallowed 
halls of literature 
but remember jackie chan's fighting technique 

a style of fighting when there was no
other choice & when he did 
it was with whatever was at hand

such as a lamp, table, or chair
a plastic water bottle 
even your grandfather's 

1958 chevrolet bel air
can be made a weapon or a tool 
or just something cool

in antipoetry be
found in the texts of social media
poetry books

movies & sex
for it be made as a human art
ordinary as a stone 

& just as hard
