Im very much in a watch the world fall apart mode.
Yet nothing will crumble much at all.
The glass artifact dropped from 10,000 feet up,
Somehow bounces safely into a tree.

Its as though the scenery itself has decided to ignore the laws of physics
in order to more perfectly destroy me, but not yet, first an extended pause
not while Im watching after...

Quotes 485521

The psychological rule says that when an inner situation is not made conscious, it happens outside, as fate. That is to say, when the individual remains undivided and does not become conscious of his inner contradictions, the world must perforce act out the conflict and be torn into opposite halves.
- Carl Jung

Dance Class (Day 19)

As we bend our limbs
and move about the entirety of the space
We will be moving, but thats almost secondary.
Youre body, and the underlying reality it has, they will never see.
What theyll see is the light. Understand that
And youll understand dance.
In todays class,
We will be primarily moving the light
And changing the manners and style...

So this chicano barely opens her mouth ever
And is MIA and half-present for one second
And then coming at your throat
In somehow five dimensions the next.

She asked the girl with the bite marks
Is it wrong that I want to stare at you like TV

Guarded, and not for her own sake, but for the sake
of those whom she would

I walked through the lines
of books like a man
with a million dollars to spend.

I picked one up intuitively, like people do.
I lifted it to my eyes
And took a peak inside.

I closed it quickly, it was god awful.
I did this 27 times. Until finally,
I found something with the name Margaret Atwood on the side that
I decided I...

Summary of the 7th Chapter of a Book, an Assortment of Books, a Library (of Contradictory Texts) Entitled “How to be Alive, a Self-Help Guide for the Dead”

In order to build a soul from
Noise and paper squares
You’ve got to fail
And to find each failure fascinating.

And to train the subconscious
Busted-up ferris wheel to reset itself
At a higher level than...

For Things Not for Sale

I did this and that
And thought well of you, abstractly
In the supermarket, shopping
Looking at an ordinary eggplant that
By itself was tastless, but in combination
With seventeen ingredients
Could be a fucking
Miracle of flavor
I haven’t the skills
To make that kind of meal
I left the eggplant where I saw it
In a chaotic pile...

The UltraViolet.

I feel like I’ve watched the same action sequence, shot repeatedly in 25 different ways. One of the most interesting things about it was that even though the plot doesn’t actually proceed smoothly or seem “real” or even “possible”, even though there are big holes and the entire thing is fundamentally ridiculous. Why the hell should it matter,Violet seems to ask. So what...

Dj vu, Go nowhere Poems
and the Undecipherable Moon.

All the poems in the city
Seemed to be leading to one truth,
The incomparable truth

That all our thoughts
are so much dust.

What’s in a thought. We asked the gods,
from the windows ledge
but “Nothing” was the response.

Thoughts, thoughts, thoughts
like facts that cannot breath well

What’s in a thought. We asked...
