i can move from the highly lyrical into what's deemed
modern -
poetising within a prosaic framework,
gone are coordinates that would
define a poem on the premise of:
whether there's a pun in it.
sure, poems as chicken scratches
to what would otherwise be an English
teacher's *******: pulverising
a haiku to mean an infinite number of things,
and about a dozen essays by students.
the opposite of what's nonetheless:
squeezing out juice from an already
squeezed out lemon... and i mean lemon
because there's a threshold...
poetry is tarnished by what i call
the over-scientification of language...
only poetry attracts
so much linguistic categorisation,
so much morge tenure, so much dissection,
before poetry is even spoken
it has already been dissected - a befitting
target practice for budding medicine students...
and some even deem it a outlet to
their professions: as if poetry was nothing
but a colouring-in book compared to
a da Vinci sketch.
why not become a martyr for the ******
art? sickly sweet with its rhyme,
the auxiliary recommendation on a birthday
card... which upon industrialisation
is nothing more than
a thumping of a hammer near a protruding
nail in a crucifix... but a hammer that never
makes contact with the nail...
why ***** this art, because of the industrious
nature of scribblers exacted to 600 pages worth
of a novel, when, perhaps, one thing is said
and can be said to be actually memorable?
well: there is a greater demand for handcrafted
objects than Ikea veneer, that much can be said...
it takes a few glugs of whiskey and a few cigarettes
to get the final product...
it doesn't take industriousness -
poetry requires handcrafting, and what's revolutionary
about our times? they once claimed
southpaws to be of diabolical design,
but now both hands are used when "writing",
sure, the archaic fluidity of the movement of the hand
is gone: so as i write, i do the cliche of a
peasant listening to classical music while pretending
to conduct an orchestra, that finicky maestro
hand gesture... waltz before you can walk
is all i have to say... and yes:
we either have our Humphrey Bogart moments,
or Forrest Gump moments...
Hanks did the miraculous -
play the idiot, and play the serious role -
which was harder to do, Mr. Bean or Black Adder?
it's hard to play the village idiot while
being submerged in the bile of malice
and staring into attempted feats of quasi intelligence...
but you get the hang of it...
your eyes become like nuggets of coal...
whereby those that incite pity wet them,
and those that incite contempt: light them up...
by the time they have burned out...
they have turned into nuggets of sulphur -
inorganic methane - yellowish grit:
as some Dalton said - could the cliffs of Dover ever
be perceived as sulphuric? the Sulphuric Cliffs
of Dover... apparently this is what defined
London when Christopher Wren took to
ushering in a foundation as Nero did to Rome:
on the chessboard of stone.
and yes... i can be seen as the oppressor,
after all, i live in a country that prizes its suburban
housing as if miniature castles...
and gardens... boy these people love their gardens...
but they never use them!
i can use a window to my advantage,
sit on the windowsill and smoke a cigarette and drink
a whiskey, unafraid of voyeurism...
pompous in my presence there,
perched like a crow, grinding all life into a halt
as my neighbours peer into the recesses of
what's 4 by 4 by 4 of living (civil) rooms...
can we but change the name of this space?
can we call living rooms civil rooms,
where we acknowledge some sort of civility
rather than a wrestling for the television remote?
i can make little things give me an advantage,
if the toilet is being occupied,
i'll use the garden as my toilet...
i feel complete disdain for people who
"require" a garden, but never use it... of people
who "require" a garden, but are never seen in it...
i'm hardly a c.c.t.v. surveillance object,
but i feel that over-exposure to ******* reads
as a counter in that: people start to become
phobic about voyeurism... as universities claim
them to be: "caught with your hand down your trousers
in a safespace", where dolphins jump over
rainbows and unicorns speak Haitian voodoo!
there is this fear, which is why i'll use the
garden more than the people around me...
which means: owning a garden is the last
stronghold of moving into an urban environment from
a rural one...
or perhaps i'm just good at what i do
and the last point becomes a tangent i care not
to continue... should i ask
(whether that's true)?
i have this throbbing sensation in my eyes
when i write such things and overhear
what's necessary to rereading books in snippets -
which is better than regurgitating maxims
as if some truth will magically pop-up (once more)
like a Leprechaun with a *** of gold -
a new film, and hence the all important soundtrack.
rereading books in snippet format reveals much
more than a memorable quote,
given there's an adequate soundtrack
to accompany you revisiting the book you managed
to take on a weekend holiday (like a girlfriend),
like lawrence lipton's the holy barbarians...
(all about the beats)...
the snippet? chapter 15, the social lie
(martino publishing mansfield centre 2009), pp. 294 - 296...
the music? ~20minutes into http://tinyurl.com/zdvp8sc
(ben salisbury & geoff barrow)... or what
i image to be a toned down version of
...
) interlude... wacko gets summoned to steal a mouse
from a cat...
double time... the mouse is unharmed...
all action takes place in the garden...
running after a cat, catching the ghostly mouse,
i mean: frozen by fear... senile little thing...
petting the mouse... obviously within the
framework: the most famous mouse in the world
scenario... mouse is put into my neighbour's
garden: where it came from: which kinda makes
this whole thing a practice in Hinduism
(i can't stop the industrialisation of
farming pigs or chickens or cows...
so ******* to the sourced sustainably,
organic chickens et al.)... (
i was looking for something as equally pulverising
as ¥ (chemical brother's
song life is sweet)...
i guess i found it...
and what was that bit about
not getting hassle on the internet?
i can't force people to read my stuff...
how i love this idea of a gym and making an effort...
both the writer and the reader entwined -
rather than watching you-tube vloggers treat their audience
like penguins feeding their chicks regurgitation as part of
the info-wars... alter news: propaganda.
'what is the disaffiliate disaffiliating himself from?
the immense myth promulgated from Madison Ave.
& Morningside Heights...
the professors and advertisement men (indistinguishable
these days, or in those days - apparently)...
that intellectual achievement lies within the social order
and that you can be a great poet as an advertising man,
a great thinker as a professor...' hence the myth.
summarised later as:
'the entire pressure of social order is to make
literature into advertisement.'
and why do they shoot people in North Korea and
Saudi Arabia (well, chop more than shoot)?
bad literature, a.k.a. bad advertisement.
am i a bad advertiser? point being: am i selling anything?
oh gee! i just might be...
but i feel there's no need to oppress people into
reading something... as was the same with
my democratic romance with a personal library of mine:
how to create a democratic representation
of literature: or how to hear as many people out...
even those alive would see the backlog of
stale books of the dead that have been under-appreciated
and need a ****** into the future.
perhaps not Plato...
that's not a book, that's a column...
but i despise how feminism ignores its greatest asset...
Mary Shelley... no woman could have single-handedly
become so celebrated in pop culture...
ex_machina is obviously a revamp of Frankenstein...
Mary Shelley is the embodiment of a woman worthy
a continual revised celebration...
you can see her celebrated more times than
any politically minded feminist of whatever 1st 2nd or
3rd movement: because she has the ability to
turn a man's ego into a ******* umpf!
like a cat listening in on a scuttling mouse...
she testifies that women have supreme equality
in the pop culture spheres... after all: Frankenstein is
ugly... Ava? just beyond creepy...
she has absolutely no understandable
motives of what Frankenstein intended...
it not merely creating artificial life...
it's about utilising it for a purpose:
in this case a housewife and *** toy... what was Frankenstein
expected to do? there's no motive other than
a per se intention... an open & closed argument...
was the monster going to be... a butler?
and instead of rebelling against a motive
that awaits her... the rebellion against a per se leaves
Frankenstein's monster driven toward isolation...
Ava? she's already exposed to an interaction
and what's to be her subsequent interaction for the purpose
of being a maid and a *** toy... which doesn't drive
her to an isolation scenario... because the per se
concept is too complicated for her to establish...
given she's defined as "artificial" intelligence,
she has to feed on an analysis-synthesis dynamic:
to absolve herself from any notion of being intelligent:
but artificial... the scary part is that without a per se
element to her knowledge acquisition:
she sees no meaninglessness to her life -
she is created for certain customary necessities -
Frankenstein's monster doesn't have that capacity
to acquire knowledge in an analytically-synthetic
dynamic -
but i still don't understand why intelligence can
be artificial / faked... when man, if not intending to
create an intelligence matrix outside of his own...
will usually fake it, or create a superficial intelligence...
this is the part where you get to play with
etymology, or at least apply etymology to better conceptualise
what some would call: a synonym-proximity barrier...
which can be jargon to some,
but in fact it represents "nuances" or nanometric differences
that is understood to imply: feverishness of
the peacocking staging of vocab for rhetorical purposes...
if we only had a monochromatic utility for language:
people would be discouraged from talking fervently,
passionately, enthusiastically... rhetorically;
as suggested: is artificial intelligence
superficial intelligence?
or how to sharpen a distinction? or to what purpose
is making an illusion purposive, given that the already
established technology is meant to be purposive,
as in replacing labour on the assembly line...
given that: it's never about faking it.
