Are you in ?

from a myopic wrinkled birth
brings a return to authenticity-
a relief from perverse ubiquitous egocentricity
ah- mundanity has no dearth-

- not in the kaleidoscope plastic bag, sw(army) of one
castrated in haste , amidst cooing and cawing,
suckling the sublime- Stimulus fist
premature advent of ngostic gnawing-

it shall begin/
and you are in/
no one asks

Are you in, Champion?

Slap /Stick
think quick-
curdled milk
green tech
Citi- (Zen)

Are you in, Champion ?
for buzz-words

is this what's at stake?

toxic quotidien prairies
sidekicks & blackberries

sterilization- what is the bait?
richter- scale can't predict this earthquake

create a vision to pursue
don't give a shit-
-- Or do
I don't much care for this riddle, do you?

Mutual resonance

Excerpt from "Francis Bacon" by Delueuze, Bacon, Smith :

Mutual resonance*

Deleuze and Guattari define philosophy as an activity that consists in the creation or invention of concepts." One can very easily think without concepts but a soon as there is a concept, there is truly philosophy. Yet art itself is an equally creative enterprise of thought, but one whose object is to create sensible aggregates rather than concepts. Great artists are also great thinkers, but they think in terms of percepts and affects rather than concepts: painters think in terms of lines and colors, just as musicians think in sounds,filmakers think in images, writers think in words and so on. None of these activities has any priority over the others. Creating a concept is neither more difficult nor more abstract than creating new visual , sonorous or verbal combinations in art; conversely, it is no easier to read an image, painting or novel than it is to comprehend a concept. Philosophy, for Deleuze, can never be undertaken independently from art; it always enters into relations of mutual resonance and exchange with these other domains, thought for reasons that are always internal to philosophy itself.

Cover me in Bags

Cover Me in Bags


Cover me in bags/ From head to toe
Cover me in bags/ I won't let go

Colorful 'Thanks You's adorn my face
smiley faces too in a
Raskolnikov yellow daze

Cover me in bags,
cover me some more

Cover me in translucent sunshine
and infinite crease

Feeling the way / In or Out
will give me proper ease

All purpose bags,
deter lint and moth alike

Cover me in bags before the advent of the
chlorophyll moss.

Cover me in bags-
cellophane- "double bag" this cross.

Cover me in bags,
cover me some more

Cover me in bags, from head to toe
Cover me in bags, I won't let go

Cover me in bags-
I'm already lost.

Empyrean

Journal Entry Number 3

The Empyrean is a story that has no action in the physical world. It all takes place in one persons mind throughout his life. The only other character is someone who does not live in the physical world but is inside it, in the sense that he exists in peoples minds. The mind is the only place that anything can be truly said to exist. The outside world is only known to us as it appears within us by the testament of our senses. The imagination is the most real world that we know because we each know it first hand. Seeing our ideas take form is like being able to see the sun come into being. We have no equivelent to the purity of that in our account of the outside world. The outer world appears to each of us as one thing and it is always also a multitude of others. Inside to outside and outside to inside are neverending. Trying and giving up are a form of breathing.

I was travelin on....

everything was so vivid.

I encountered a childrens colony, laughter and running, squeals of brown, trees of green. I wandered alone, feeling full of life, calm and content

The Decisive Moment

The Decisive Moment - Henri- Cartier Bresson

"What is there more fugitive and transitory than the expression on the human face? The first impression given by a particular face is often the right one; but the photographer should try always to substantiate the first impression by "living" with the person concerned. The decisive moment and psychology, no less than camera position, are principal factors in the making of a good portrait. It seems to me it would be pretty difficult to be a good portrait photographer for customers who order and pay since. apart from Maecenas or two, they want to be flattered, and the result is no longer real. The sitter is suspicious of the objectivity of the camera, while what the photographer is after is an acute psychological study of the sitter.

It is true too, that a certain identity is manifest in all the portraits taken by one photographer. The photographer is searching for identity of his sitter, and also trying to fulfill an expression of himself. The true portrait emphasizes neither the suave nor the grotesque, but reflects the personality."

transient memories...

" If I remember correctly they call that the irreversibility of time. The feeling adventure would simply be that of the irreversibility of time. But why dont we always have it? Is it that time is not always irreversible ? There are moments when you have the impression that you can do what you want, go forward or backward, that it has no importance, and then other times when you might say that the links have been tightened and in that case, its not a question of missing your turn because you could never start again."
