Beatnik poetry

“I lick the circuit and complete me”

By Jedidiah Jackson

I lick the Circuit and Complete me

is a Beat-style spoken poem recorded in motion — a live transmission moving through Egypt, Paris, and Berlin. It circles fingertips, vibration, elegance, shame, eroticism, opera houses, trash fires, trans glamour, trains, breath, and bone flutes. Purple becomes a threshold where contact happens — moral, sexual, spiritual. This is a poem that listens. It vibrates. It asks: are you the drum or the stick?
