Cedar Sigo

 

Jump-cut speed and exclamatory sass Frank O’Hara-style in Cedar Sigo’s “Speedway”—“for John Wieners”:

I cut out the “Heart with Snowflake”
Myself but it is not mine, Forget
This bloody coat bloody shirt, I
Think it is the writing that makes 
Me sick, The scores and scores of 
Incidental music, this nosebleed all
Spring all wet, I’m positively angry 
with the Impertinence of it! I’m
Sewing up the kinks in this film, I’m 
Trying to! I’m trying to burn a light
Between, There’s a light and I cable
my voice on it but it rips when I trace 
Anything! works on paper, the ship
of death “Oh build it!” Sings the
Heart, “My coat would be so bloodied 
I could wiggle out of my coat!”
