Literature

Will type it one day

This is taken from Umberto, Eco. On Literature. By breaking down a text intoits structural elements, Eco demonstrates how literary structure is itself an type of poetry. We should his extend his idea to A SELECT FEW academic papers. i.e. technical writing as art.

Which music is the real music?

If dance is a fugue composed by and of the tension between the air and of the lungs, of course, the ballerina’s dance is the observable expression of the composition of breath itself.

If she dances to music, which is the ‘real’ music; and, with whom is whom dancing?

While Over Water

Tell the kids to find a Stele; and take Pen as weapon and wizen it to papyrus.

Don’t transcribe but rather scribe.

Wear your weapon like a wand and if anyone asks it is just a pen.

You do the Math

Because I only know Words; and

Only know numbers through words.

The Math and numbers may precede Word and words.

I do not recall which nor even whom could knowingly say either way.

What You call approximation (is still assumptive);

we in words call assumption (often purports as axiomatic);

those in logic call axiomatic (remains approximative).

To depower the danger of improper axioms and assumption:

Explicitly say It outloud in and with thoughtful dispassion,

then wait to feel any feedback of Its resonance with those able to hear.

Assumption then becomes mere assertion

-a simple contention made available for public consumption and comment.

The R&D Man at the Station

He’s slim in silver:

Dark glasses and ten thousand LP`s, EP`s, and CD’s.

He plucked my disc, but I beseeched “can we be sure yet?”

What he said I cannot be sure

but it was either/or “you surely are / you surely are not on reorder.

Disingenuity

Smiles steeped in stillness;

superiority situated in silence.

It is tart, so, pucker up.

Pardoning your progress–

and your precious predilections.

Prefer perforation

Seration from your own sermon, please.

Paragons are only prerogatives.

Made

You shall make it utterably Swift because I am inexorable, unyielding, and relentlessly

Merciful.

I feel you like a swift breeze across my brow, made apparent only through the

Perspiration of my effort under intent.

I do naught but believe that I will not go against myself.

I submit. I am love.

AEm Written.

Tolle lege. Anon, anon.

You see Eve, and/or Lilith.

But I’m Helen Estelle and Alice Ladder

Give.

Back to the Forest

I went back to the Forest to transform.

Upon leaving, I found myself and there she was unrecognized but not yet unrecognizable.

It is what it is.

heaven is somewhere in the drone of stereo.

Aside: A side note about 2 Common English Words

“Terrific”, like “awful”, used to mean something quite diferent…

Ballad For The Petty & the Scholarwood Bee:

What did I remember that I had prior forgot; &, upon thinking “hey-don’t forget – “, immediately then forgot?

anon, anon(KRO)

That it hurts–

I did not know of my own suffering until I saw it on the page before me which I, myself, had written.

Forward-Foreword-Forewarn

The Final Bogeyman

… Space. (period;).

It Was A Wash-Out

Apres deluge comes the Fury,

and not vice versa.

A common misconception: the vice versa above, but not

Apres deluge comes the Fury.

Flood precedes Fury, although,

Fury may flood.

A New Moon

We wear Rapture’s cloak on nights of the new moon;

silver crescent scarcely seen and slender.

Original conjunction of Earth, Moon, man and Sun, was that

causing the first scribe’s swoon.

Dirty South

What is up with roman à clef: an ode

AE am16 years past 18 only to realize I just needed to tolle lege “roman à clef” or “à clef” as some dictionaries prefer.

After I did, a walrus showed up with a tooth pick, surely to eat me I assume! When he finally cracked the shell and got to my goodn’ tasty spots, the Walrus plucks out this tiny, heavy with gravity pebble which he proceeds to Pop in his face hole.

Next thing I remember, I’m standing alone on the shore. My body feels doubley massive…

–like some wave interference pattern is refracting my metabolism in some all to-

gether new way.

The original compound returns but it has extra dimensions/multitudes than it initially had, and yet the compound never underwent any physical change at all. It seemed like it did even though of course it wouldn’t; but, don’t you remember me promising to do the Algerian BootStrap feat for you? In fact, you will recall that I’ve already told you that I’ve stepped on stage and announced my intent. Furthermore, whether you revelate or not, the Trick is already afoot with its inexorable ways.

You can already hear the wheels turning if you listen hard.
