Movies that are Camp or can be Seen as So.

   time is only mine to kill
   in the delicate vigil
stalked by a thin shadow so willowy
      liaison with Boot Hill

"Shijo poetry makes wide use of the conventional symbols of the Chinese tradition. ...the Korean poets took them and shaped them to their own purposes, often using them in an ironical way. ...This sort of irony is at the heart of the shijo tradition, and it goes a long way toward defining the Korean sensibility." --Kevin O'Rourke, The Book of Korean Shijo (2002)

Beacon from Mars.

   army of rainy mornings
   most of them lost · one last sings
a book i suppose i have · crimson bound

water collected in the streets flies up
      & slops the hood in sheets
   a paucity of cantrips
   on the frontier of collapse

taps on an army morning

"The avant-garde has been effectively memory-holed, and if you try to point this out your contemporaries will point to various avant-garde-themed commercial products, which bear roughly the same relationship to the avant-garde as a 1959 Nancy comic riffing on abstract expressionism bears to the butt of its riff (I myself love Ernie Bushmiller, by the way), and will insist that these phantom apparitions are proof that the tradition in question is still alive and well." --Justion Smith-Ruiu on his substack

Off the cuff Shakespeare sonnet.
