Actions are according to intentions (corrections)

...Do this three times - items

Bring it together - tougher

I tried - tired

To want understanding - understating

But unfunded - unfounded

No-one knows how to value - clue

Even familiar things look beautifully weird - wired

A longer term which - chew

Co-founded the whole - while

In defense of cursive writing - wiring

As part of The Enemies Project's  North By North West poetry tour, a pair of HMRCollective performed a new work entitled Actions are according to intentions (corrections), a section of verse above.

The text was a combination of three separate writing constraints. 

Insolent and smitten - HMRC meet Jean-Paul Sartre

An exchange of Words (with Jean-Paul Sartre)

In this project HMRC have taken Jean-Paul Sartre’s book Words as reading material and responded to the text in ways that seem to express reading behaviour that Roland Barthes calls ‘insolent in that it interrupts the text, and smitten in that it keeps returning to it’.^[1]
