"cogitans" poems
again, this thing about the cartesian res cogitans
(thinking thing), substance and extension...
i’m pretty sure the darwinistic expression
of early model does not suit this model,
my own version i wrote once, res vanus (empty thing)
fits the gig better - we who can now snuggle in duvets,
who housebound the wild boar,
who milk cows with technological octopi tentacles,
who switch hot dogs with popcorn in the dark,
who ice-skate at somerset house at christmas,
who take diamond bling and christmas tree bulb bling
to equal the same credit on plastic,
who with polystyrene foam beat nature
by showing nature it couldn’t digest it on whatever
level of insect and parasite,
well have all the luxuries now, and we found them
not so much from thinking but from emptiness,
there is more chance of the eureka in res vanus than
there is in res cogitans - it’s the spontaneity you see,
and less need to narrate: love, lost love, aching love , ex lovers.
what else is there? it’s the easier assumption to have
with the niche topic in relation to kant’s noumenon (thing in itself),
i don’t know why i want to mention this orientation
to further the explanation -
early man was defined by res vanus - the sensual overload,
the prime, being empty and forced into the heat and the cold
and the mystic tiger hunger -
and still as defined by res cogitans, we pause and feel empty,
not so much in terms of emotion, but in terms of thought,
however we no longer gather at the campfire,
few people crowd by a lightbulb to talk fables with a
memory of achilles ajax and hector...
we need neon rainbows to huddle -
whether that be by eros shooting the neons of piccadilly circus blind,
or by televisions or computers,
rarity a fire that crept into the ribcage and gave way to
a macaw song of cross-dimensional sophistication off mayan jungles.

how many think in the deep night
shared thoughts between unfamiliar faces
pondering plights, pleasures, pities
reliving past memories
imagining perfect situations
desiring peaceful rest
how many think in the deep night
alone, united by unseen connections
wishing to be heard, to hear
the deep night thoughts
shared between restless minds

nietzsche? what he did? inverting the cartesian equation?
like: 1 + 1 = 2, turned into 1 + 1 = 2?
**** me... isn't that confusing...
the symbol = precipiates into ergo;
what did he do?
he inverted the cartesian principle...
he said: i am, therefore i think...
so why are all these people coming
out from the woodworks, like cockroaches?
i already said it once,
the antithesis of the cartesian res cogitans
a thinking thing... is res vanus:
an empty thing...
test of time...
you stop ************ for about a month?
your ***** turns... yellow... it's no longer white...
your testicles shrink... you're shooting
evil *****
and then you talk to a woman
who's been "learning" about her period, ************
want to have children?
stop ************ for a month...
**** her on her period
but don't ********* then **** her once more when
she's off it...
the cramps are gone... your ***** is
so concenrated that it's no longer white, but yella..
what are you going to get?
a screaming báhor (toddler) in your arms...
but nietzsche inverted the cartesian "equation"...
thankfully... he got it wrong,
in a sense, he didn't counter res cogitans (thinking thing)
with res vanus (empty thing) -
sure, nietzsche was influential in the 20th century...
in the 21st century though?
more like the label guy...
i'm this... i'm that... i'm whatever you wish me to be...
the 21st century says: nietzsche isn't an ocean...
he was a depth of a puddle's worth to claim...
but it's there! it's in one of his footnotes!
he reverses the cartesian "equation"...
he "says": i am, therefore i think.
no wonder then, where all the 21st century
labels come from!
these people aren't thinking!
i'd love for this label to come about:
i thinking... therefore i'm dumb-seeming...
because i shut-the-fuck-up!
hard to not think of two things...
i think corresponding to res cogitans...
with i am correspoding to res vanus -
and ergo corresponding to ***
meaning?
why are so many people associating themselves with
so many labels, on an intellectual level of deciding
whether or not to wear versace, dolce & gabbana,
or primani... oh sorry... armani.
people express so many labels though,
it's like they stress the second half of the cartesian equation,
but not the first half...
which precipitates into heidegger's da-"sein".
there is.... sure... there really is...
but what? is that actually being, without thinking?
or am i just putting clothes on to look kosher
at a paris fashion catwalk?
it's almost, well, it actually is:
a question: there's being?
that question substitutes the conceptualißation
of being's pluralism qua beings...
i.e. the many happenings...
the rebel ant in the ant-hill... at best: the only
suggestive approximate.
there sure as **** is a being... but the da, the there?
reduced to newspaper articles,

much of intelligence is derived from an appreciation of a certain type of music: most notably classical, jazz and ambient / trance / electronic / progressive in any relevant genre.
the way i dealt with atheists, those great
bores off theology, who try to accomplish
an sedimentary argument of the many
layers incorporating snippets from a range
of dedications, whether geological, biological,
chemical, historical, musical, mathematical
creating a rainbow mongrel theology,
not pure theology, just a poly-diadem theology,
in between that and "hearing" (yes, ambiguously
a sense for an obstruction of clear thinking
that had to spawn the antidote to the cartesian
res cogitans - thinking thing, i.e. res vanus -
empty thing) kabbalistic shrapnel of syllables,
oozing from the tetragrammaton, e.g.: ha ha, ye woe,
to "hear", for being bilingual i explain that
PA is both an informal word for goodbye,
a brief goodbye, and a shortening, pa-,
of the word patrz (look!), both polish examples,
akin to the laziness in the english language,
my laziness is to avoid the diacritical ę, e.g. się,
or in english do not (don't); or the famous
"racist" laziness of **** originally pakistani -
so in between that i figured, given that atheists
want the complete eradication of pain,
i figured it would be only natural to pair atheists
with sadists and masochists, to explain certain
things among themselves;
but this thing about the subtler pain?
i explained pain to myself, when it isn't accessible
via a complex schematic of arithmetic,
e.g. (worded): one plus the radix of π, subtracting
100, and then with obelus using a fraction
of ninety-nine over twelve and a half;
e.g. (symbolic): 1 + √π - 100 ÷ 99/12.5.
i can't put cognitive mathematics to give you an answer,
and because i can't answer the equation,
upon thinking about it, i experience the subtler pain
that's an antidote to real bone-rattling pain.

and thus each man's script, from on high,
how res cogitans simply becomes res vanus,
and is signed ουροβoρος oφις,
tail-devouring snake, ouroboros ophis -
so that many more that come
(and come they will whether willing or unwilling),
and either chain to us
in shackles of either attracted
by our status of res cogitans
with keen interest in our works,
or likewise with apathy keep
us in hidden depths of lochs beyond
all care or concern - as simply
automated lived out care-free
contentment, not demanding us to
take centre stage, and indeed associate
with us more res vanus rather than
res cogitans, as easy come as easy
go due to man's numbering -
landlocked ably seeing the great seas
nimble at each man's bordering on tides
youth turn to old age with the hanging
klepsydra over each man's head:
like that ingenuity of bernard gitton;
for each will have to relinquish his
sway of the status of being a res cogitans
and claim the status of res vanus
(after all life is accomplished, the book-kept
wet ink of the words the end forever-more,
as words preceding the last have dried up
to worthy status of boredom and study
and gained entitlements of lost mr. but gained dr.):
so that many more will come in our stead,
but as i see it, this won't be hard -
relinquishing the status of a thinking thing:
since so many people still act petty and treat
thinking moronically: pyramid of homicide
and theft and all that, which jingles
for Mammon to give out displacing rewards
of coin neither gold or silver, but attired
with a figurehead of authority of gems
embedded in a crown, hidden in william
the conqueror's white tower.

it usually happens to you, when you're solving a sūdo(h)kú...
getting all spastic-fantastic while solving a puzzle,
my eyes darting-autisitc...
i had a thought... in an algebra form, associated with
the letter x... or χ (chi),
relating to, probably the two most famous "quotes",
i.e. clichés (clish... says) -
what where they? cogito ergo sum... and carpe diem...
so i made a little diagram:
cogito diem
χ
sum carpe...
in the cartesian example? you're not prompted to do anything.
oddly enough...
where did the ergo go?
well, it became lodged in the χ (chi) for one...
for seconds? article scissors... or the basis for atheism...
what, exactly, is, the day?
your birthday? d-day landing in normandy?
the 8th of march 1917?
funny, eh? i think, i seize...
and then the sigma of: a day, the day, or being in general,
the summation of something.
how about: seize yourself? sorta like... carpe sum?
and the infamous: think of today: i.e. cogito diem?
the χ (chi) is based on the principle of expressing ergo...
the cascade...
the waterfall...
in cogitans no- veritas (there is no truth in thinking) -
so much so that: qua res cogitans... no- omni vera -
as being, a thinking thing... there are no all-encompassing truths.
what's the 20th century conceptualisation of
the ancient latin carpe diem? heidegger's dasein...
heidegger's dasein is, literally, carpe diem...
a day... and seizing it...
well... the germans just call it: tag, for what's diem,
and seize... ergreifen, which is consecrated on the latin
altar of the word carpe...
if a roman were to say carpe diem, a germanic "barbarian" would
reply ergreifentag... or in modern spreschen, dasein...
as in: being "there", there, also denoting the temporal realm,
that in unit, requested encompassing the universe, isn't a minute,
or a second... but, a, day: the day is da, i.e. where...
which is why carpe diem compliments the dasein
conceptualißation, so wonderfully;
it's also a necessity, to call forth history, as the happening,
or in dasein terms: being...
as necessary, on a particular day,
in the realm of universal / uniform experience,
of ranging possibility, either fulfilled, or abandoned.

*this is what a kalimotxo afternoon looks like; + the giggles surround the citation orientating itself around in vino veritas, esp. home-made.*
within the concept counter to the cartesian
model of res cogitans,
i.e. res vanus -
for some reasons stranger than otherwise
i am always fed,
i am fed one thought after another...
i can't think of god as a person,
a being of some obscure sense
of a wishy-washy wishing carol of complaints
regarding my argument worthwhile
while itemising parasites...
i just bypass the whole atheistic endeavour
and treat the **** "thing" as
an object... obviously i am objectional to it
within the atheistic solidarity,
but i am still subjected to it,
whether arguing for it's existence,
or for it's non-existence...
so much arises from not thinking,
the reflexive sense of thinking,
never wasted upon the reflective (frictive)
sense of "thinking", by that i mean:
you writing a book or sumthin'?
the moment i stop "thinking" i.e. narrating
is the moment i am fed a thought
of spontaneous premature ***********
of this sort...
all it takes is a bit of
restraint... **** me and all this "hot" topic
of restraining genitalia...
i swear to god: you sure you haven't
shoved your head up your **** far enough
to imitate the ostrich looking for china?

coming from the spatial, rather than the temporal position
of the reinvention of the cartesian
unit, i.e. res locus...
the following can only be based in germanic:
dasien... i.e. there-being...
well, the english answer would sound
like the following: there's being;
there, is, being; **** me, that's seriously frankenstein like;
all it says though, is: there's existence
to speak of... if it needs to be spoken of...
but the concept of res cogitans
has to be replaced by something new...
given the existentialists, esp. the germans,
it can only come about via heidegger's concept of dasein...
hence, me, at the bith of the 21st century...
conceptualised as res locus equivalent
to expressing 24 / 7 news coverage...
oh the thinking thing is relevant... but in the beginning
of the 21st century... you simply need to "locate" it...
you have to state the aversion to heidegger's dasien /
being there... temporal...
via there's being... spatial;
alternatively hand-in-hand with indiana jones
covering the happenings of, and in, the *third *****

it's beautiful to feel:
but it's intolerable to think...
and if that doesn't
conjure laughter...
i don't know what will.
why?
since an "inherent" moral
scheme...
as if we were all told to
write a fairy tale...
and not a moral: conundrum...
tragedy does indeed knock
at the pauper's door
when it comes to crafting
a collectivism: worth
of man.
i have loved...
and the only love i have
learned is what exists as
exprienced: subsequently fleeting...
never an arranged "there",
in that a "there" is
equivalent of
concreteness of being...
without a "here" apparent
in there being a "there"
to manifest a sum per se!
quack phrase for impetus
/ momentum?!
- what became the german notion
of da was already apparent
in english, via the articles of:
a and the... direct articulation
of an indirect space -
versus the indirect articulation of
a direct space...
- love is a failure to
make habitual ridicule for
having mannerisms
being: a making of an excuse...
no... love isn't that...
it's the only once that is
the one instance to not desire
replication...
then again:
it's hardly that...
it's beautiful to feel:
but it's intolerable to think...
how much more worthwhile
to have a noble emotion
than a truthful thought?
to me there is no:
cogitans verum...
there is no "truth" & a "thinking" -
the eden, the apple, the fall...
the end!
that month of being
loved up really helped me in becoming
a cold-hearted *******
