NAVIGATING THE CIRCULATING PULMONARY ROTATORS (CPR’s): A BEGINNER’S GUIDE TO HINGE

Much consideration has been given on how to format Smelling Mary to best facilitate the practitioner’s appreciation of the many interconnectivities possible in a Hinge environment. Designing a separate “amalgam” section waxed static and disingenuous to the Hinge Spirit. In contradistinction, guiding the explorer (reader) through some CPR’s (Circulating Pulmonary Rotators) offers sufficient instruction for the undertaking of adventures uncontaminated by an imposed prepackaging, thus preserving the integrity and vitality of the material and its intrinsic living lingual kinesis. To exact a turn of phrase: “No more dead poetry ...” Hinge, by its nature, has as little to do with traditional school poetry as it does with speechwriting for myopian pedants. Hinge embodies inherent reproductive expansion, always projecting forth from its wellspring of potentialities, inviting infinite progression, revealing wide vistas of intimate understanding for the communication of language itself. Hinge is musical, visual, memetically spatial, with new Hinge language modules in those disciplines in development — for example, the visual content of Smelling Mary. Hinge is not only linear direct, it is robust, expanding architecturally to complete itself through connections with other components of the Hinge Universe. Hinge engenders and perpetuates the matrices of language; it is the matrices of language revealed, to be revealed.

Following, we identify co-synergies springing from the three principal Hinge Modules employed in Smelling Mary: “with,” “smelling,” and “the road to __road.” Embedding modules within modules (“withs” within “smellings” and “smellings” within “roads” and “roads” within “withs,” etc.) creates a multiplying complex of consequential transfers, as rambunctious internal explosive devices (IED’s). This does not imply that other minglings, stirrings, and gasps do not exist — those that follow are merely exemplary initiations.

with hilarity [application] > [rotates to] the road to aptly road, with calumny, with adjutancy, with alembic

[Note: An example of a “propagatory” that has been formalized into a Hinge Module particle is “holy” arising in line 9 of “with hilarity.” It would be natural (reflexive) for the enlivened practitioner to be drawn to the word, want to sniff around the word, even want to travel to the word — such a practitioner is guided to visit the Table of Modules to surmise if “holy” has been Hinged, and, sure enough, there it is, beckoning ... “the road to holy road.” Certainly many curiosities have yet to blossom; the creator encourages the restless to “do the Hinge,” or, for the less animated, await the next volume.]

with terms > with end of life care
the road to aptly road > with horizon
with horizon > with roam (not formalized, but implicated)
with mermaid > smelling electrically
the road to imponderable road > smelling mary, smelling Monk,
smelling Monk > with insinuation, with roam, the road to resolute road, with resolution

[Note: Another cross sectional functioning occurs when we submit the same orientation center (the particle) to differing mechanisms. For example, we have novelty exfoliating from three differing terroirs (with, smelling, the road to __ road) fructifying the palette with pleasing varietal clusters.]

the road to novelty road > smelling monk, smelling Hillary, with initiative
smelling novelty > the road to lachrymose road

There is virtually no component of Hinge that does not yearn for intercourse, or explode with seminal authority. As with pi, vital language has taken on the elements of eternity.

Throughout the ongoing invention of Hinge, we learned to our continual astonishment that we are dealing with a very erotic universe.

Hybridity pedals transference. Property interminglements. Disclosures race. The hybrid in its eco-clash, its torsionanl topo-skin, -- rashes — an inexplicable electro-marvel charged with animistic colli(u)sions. Human & animal in homomorphic concert.

enjoys its roll, its placidity, its proclivity
to anger, the distance from shore with
their shore-numb stases their sure footed
proclamations their guffaws & laws
the mariner sees
consternation

Note: The fifth line, beginning with benzine and ending with Dionysus, was influenced by language found in Hart Crane’s poem, “Lachrymae Christi.”
