to begin
it. to always begin it. to always want to begin it. to begin it by marking
off what is ended. lost.
what
does he begin? what has ended? and is anything gained?
backing
up a truck.
putting
back up a fence.
there
is so much of everything he wants to communicate. so much of everything
he wants to communicate to himself. over and out. over and under. where
does all of that begin and end? it's always here now. do we begin here
now? so much misunderstanding. so much injury. so much damage that becomes
irreparable. not because it can't be repaired, but because it's too much
trouble. the pain involved. he doesn't know. fuck it. no one else cares,
why should he?
but he
does. he can't seem to be able to stop himself from caring. he wishes he
could just blow it off like the others do and go his merrie way. and he
does.
control.
a question
of control.
what
control does he want?
how to
gain control by letting go of control.
doo-dah-ditty...
madness
an exercise comes the real thing as far as one must be when the it goes
into it a matter so many difficult losing approach it mind to get it ain't
no way written about encourage this hell to pay to understand books against
there is no more explanations around handle that try get it back what's
happening people can things change.
things
change.
madness.
be-bop
and when things become strange. and when that happens it's frightening.
one's instinctive reaction is to fight it. to change it back. to fit it
back into the normal structure and form again. like when an ashtray turns
into a turtle and one tries to maintain it as an ashtray. maybe that works.
if it does, it probably won't for long. surrender to what is as it appears
to be for the moment now. pay attention. one's mind becomes fluid instead
of breaking to pieces. one learns how it is done.
maybe
yes. maybe no.
and dada
and then some. this is the point of no return - the ever present. no beginning.
no ending. just is being is.
explanations.
explanations are for losers. let us explain something. it's a joke. but
maybe it's not. is that an explanation? maybe it's nothing. maybe it's
something else.
to feel
what he feels within him. to feel what he feels it must feel like to be
human. yet these humans show no sign that they feel how he feels. and maybe
neither does he. so how does he explain?
9/5
and on
these pages he leaves nothing. just ink. and how is that described? who
has written of this meaninglessness before? and is it anything more with
him writing about it? what wisdom is left? the execution. the wide-eyed
wonder. the scream from behind a closed door. and now we make plans on
leaving this hick town world. 3-d heads. those frightened of the possibilities
are left behind. into the immortal moment now. into the garden. to merge
into the imaginary city. observe this. the spiral vortex. the satan. put
it to the test.
psychopomp.
without
beginning and without ending. two mirrors. a top hat. a quantum mechanical
astral rabbit that may or may not be here or there. coffee and cigarettes.
a room or some place where one can go and be undisturbed. there one has
the basic ingredients. plus other various optional dada.
raindrops
of sunshine. the great in-between. the possibility of following the thin
line. something beyond a hairstyle fashion statement with the mass media
hyped adoring crowds built into the machine design and mechanism. a smooth
tight sigh full of fantasy lust sliding underneath the table onto the floor
with the dust of old kept secrets. now one sees it, now one doesn't. an
envelope. yellows curves. faces out of place. knife, fork and spoon - always
the spoon. and all the tears cried in the world and its long long history
don't amount to a hill of beans. down into this city where the beds are
full in the dark rooms with the curtains drawn. look into this and find
oneself there. tinfoil. negate. presume. imagine.
a boy
this earth when and when begun to comprehend spoken learned sat the language
new to around make up three mirrors darkened room in that walk before no
sunshine three of them either side the same motions catch one of them of
angled something different cut glass bottles one eye opened puzzling and
the smells recall there is something else not thinking sobbing and moaning
as very present speaks of death calls wishing door to open this child behind
pleading fly away responsibilities to step through to heaven dependent
not continue frightened going back into near where leaving hope held climb
up glad comfort live the dead returned from.
and now
as nothing is complete as nothing is supposed to be complete. completion
is death. past the idea of fulfillment. now. not future. no future. another
cigarette. the dumb amazement. not again. as he writes these words for
someone non-existent. as the heat itself rises. the surface. a life. a
story. back in the darkness. forbidden. anger. it's ok. out of sight, out
of mind.

it.
in the
house surrounded by the garden surrounded by a wall with opened gates on
the island. far away and right around the corner. right here and now.
the gods
appear to us. this is in the reality in which they are living - imagination.
he speaks to them as he would speak to anyone, when anyone is listening
to something besides what they want to hear.
this
is a new house he built off from the old man's house from the images in
his mind.
he's
in his room. a hot summer day. piles of things in boxes and spread on the
floor of what he has kept and brought with him. no one knows he's here.
or they pretend not to know. he is apart from them. he parts himself from
them. he closes the door. he is alone. he accepts this. does he have a
choice? does he enter back into their world of domination and control?
could he gain power? he has observed the workings of power long enough.
but why? for what reason?
he holds
his ground against this god of theirs - this god of power. but he cannot
defeat it. to do so he would have to take its place. that is the mistake
many make. that is what is easily fallen into. he is encouraged by some
who would want him to do so. he tests them to see how they respond to certain
things he says to them. he tests their weakness. they want someone to take
power for them. it would be so easy to do.
is that
how it goes? is that the only way out? are they that afraid of themselves?
no. it
cannot be. but history shows that it is. they want to be weak. they make
themselves weak so that someone will come rescue them.
and what he has become he is becoming without anyone else. as they realize nothing more than what they have been told to expect. they keep themselves safe within the confines of rationalogical thought and thinking. what will it take for us to break the death grip this has over them?
he makes
up stories to tell himself to comfort himself in his isolation from these
others who function without a care for anyone but themselves - himself
included. there is no plan. there are no gods or anything similar. no one
but himself with idle time allotted him to keep him out of the way and
not interfering with the important duties and responsibilities of their
lives that drive them mad.
their
madness around him. surrounding him. so little room to move. so little
time to spend with them when they are free from it and we can enjoy each
other's company. as they are driven and drive each other into this madness.
their sense of identity ever more widely divided from itself. and their
denial of it. their two faces arguing and fighting. their minds in pandemonium
out of balance. yet they are the powerful. they are the decision makers.
they are the masters of this reality because they are the many. this reality
masking the other reality - the other 99.999%.
and can
he laugh at this? should he laugh at this? can he keep himself from laughing
at this? what interest in it does he have? to see them destroying themselves.
and those who devise hopeless plans of hope based on ideals they have abandoned
long ago. what a joke.
so is
it any wonder he pretends himself to be among the gods? what else is there
left to do? an escape pod with only room for one. transportation back home.
and something.
and the madness surrounds them. and they're the same as ever. people have
become strange - or is it that he has only just noticed how strange they
have always been? weird.
and as
he puts this house together. he is still where and when he was. he still
remembers. he is still no one. he still watches and waits. observer. he
learned early on to watch. to observe. people acting strange. weird movements.
fragments
of this reality and those who fight to the death for justice when nothing
was or will be different. balance. but they see only victory for themselves
and whatever side they represent.
dada.
so it
goes.
whenever
else it is - timewise - cross-eyed. out of rhythm. he feels he cannot put
a value on anything. he feels that he cannot say what he wants. it will
be taken away from him as soon as he does. it won't fit into the plan.
their plan. he doesn't know whose plan. a plan. a plan he sees only in
his head. mind. but there it is. in operation. an idea of there being a
plan. a theory of a plan.
another
cigarette.
another
cup of coffee.
and he's
thinking that the cafe days are over. he's listened to just about all the
dada about all he wants to hear. it's a static situation.
take
the human race (please!). and how it is divided between various groups
by those who divide the human race up suchwise and everybody is different
from them and they are usually the better of all the rest - each of them.
the isolation of this.
if this
is it then he does not consider himself to be human. we look upon those
of this human race who divide themselves upwise whether it is one way or
the other and see a species at war with itself. tribal dada-ditty-doo-wah-dada.
and for
all recorded time it has been so.
push
the button.
there
are those of us who do not fit into this but are fitted into it by others
defining us as us or them - usually them. we are them.
who is
different here? who is different from being human? - yet being human is
feeling that one is different. paradox. hmmm....
x-14
something
of interest. something different of interest. alive instead of this continuing
death. to convince no one of anything. images. mother. father. prisoners
of war from birth. shadows created.
and,
says the dog in the back seat, people who continue without thinking about
what they are doing and then wondering why everything is so screwed up
and why there are so many other people who don't like what they are doing.
what?
says the cat who is half alive and half dead.
i don't
know, says the dog to the kangaroo who sleeps in a box of toys. something
is broken. something is not fixed. i do not think about what i am doing
but i do not wonder about why other people don't like what i am doing.
if there
was some place to go tonight. if he could wake up as he has and there would
be some place to go and something to do. the robots are shut down. they
have their jobs to do. alone. not anyone else. one has one's job to do.
he guesses that he is alive because they do their jobs. he guesses that
something is right. it's not as screwed up as it seems to be. if he'd known
that before. but he did know. here he is doing what he is doing - or not
doing what he is not doing. he is not with anyone and anyone is not with
him. we do not talk anymore. there is nothing left to say.
down
time. ego fix. another cigarette appears in his hand. the circus act. divided
shoes. random output. what is not measured by the mind into quantitative
or qualitative units is discarded. useless. nothing changes. no one wants
anything changed.
and what seems to be true when everyone says that it isn't. what is known to the heart. what is known to the outer inner reaches of the mind. and even an absurd a thing as to even consider anything as being true. true to what? it's their strength and numbers against ours. we can never overcome them . we will be lucky if we can hold up against them for the duration.
and what
do they want from us? we look at what they want from anyone. obedience.
and what do we want from them but the same? a thousand yesterdays. one
tomorrow. people are starving. we want them to starve. that's the way it
is. there is no moral question here. there is nothing true or not. dream
on. buy. consume. taste. words.
and there
was something else. and there was someone else. he can't remember now.
what was it like? what did it seem to be? calling the shots. writing down
the words. to become not him. it was someone else. to cover it over. we
are the gods. if memory serves him well. this is what he remembers. a garden
in the center of a city. and it depends on who he is. who is anyone? it
depends on who one thinks one is who one is. or was it something else?
or was it some place else? he's seen them before. more faces with no names.
he knows them and he knows they know him. or is it someone else? as they
turn away one by one into many. this has happened so many times before.
it is happening still. it will continue to happen. as long as we keep thinking
it's something else - some place else - someone else. maybe it is and maybe
it isn't. how are we supposed to know?
the possibilities.
the theories of possibilities. the probability of the theories of possibilities.
as we dream on. all and all. whoever and whoever. as we define who and
what we are., who and what we have been, who and what we are becoming.
the accusations. the promises.
the 4th
way.
the step
up.
working
it out.
isolation.
out of the mind. back in the mind. in and out of the mind. sucking it in.
sucking it out. what lies between. in theory. in a beginning that does
not begin.
and a
wall between us. the wall between us. all and all each and everyone. us
and them. him and us. him and them. us and us. them and them. the way it
goes. welcome to the real world. to hell with it. let us out. don't try
to bring us back into it. there will be a very ugly scene that develops
if they do. we will have to become the monster that they fear we are. that
is our only defense.
but why
write about this? why write about anger and hatred and fear? are they the
only possibilities? the only probable possibilities? on record. recorded.
remembered. what has been forgotten? what did we choose to forget?
a glass
of milk?
and now
what? what hasn't he written? what hasn't he written repeatedly over and
over?
this
real world business. their real world. his real world. our real world.
anyone's real world. who does it belong to? who controls it? who has power
over it? who takes the responsibility? who takes the blame? who decides
who? who decides what? what is given? what is unchanged and unchangeable?
what is real about the real world? is it what we accept or what we must
accept? there is always the pain. that's real.
what
does he do in the situation he's in? what situation is he in? he feels
he is playing a role. he feels the role he is playing that he has been
given to play is the role of the villain. he feels that other people want
to hate him. he feels that other people want him to hate them. they want
him to be a monster. and that's ok with him. he doesn't mind too much that
that is the role it has been decided he is to play except that he feels
that to most people they are unable to divide him and who he really is
from this role he is to play.
a play
on stage - as in, the whole world is a stage. he is an actor who plays
a role of monster. he plays it very well. he can get into it. he enjoys
it. but off stage behind the scenes he wants to be able to drop that role
he is playing. but he is not allowed to by the other actors who don't seem
to know this is just a play. they play their roles off stage too as well
as on. and maybe he does too. he would like not to. he would like to meet
and be with the others where and when the roles we play aren't being played.
but it's not that simple. where and when is it that we are not playing
our roles?
it seems
to be only in his head. all in his head. that's what he comes to us for.
him: fuck.
us: fuck
what?
him:
i don't know. fuck everything.
us: you've
said that before.
him:
yeah, i guess i have, haven't i?
us: several
times.
him:
(laughs) nothing changes.
us: do
you want it to change?
him:
i don't know. i think i do but maybe i don't. i just know that i don't
seem able to change it.
us: have
you tried?
him:
i don't know. maybe i haven't.
us: then
what is it?
him:
what is what?
us: well,
you come to us very pissed off about something.
him:
chemicals.
us: chemicals?
him:
that's all it is, isn't it? chemicals?
us: is
it?
him:
i don't know. that's what they tell me. that's the thing now. we are what
our chemicals make us to be.
us: do
you believe that?
him:
no.
us: no?
him:
well, in a way it might be true. but they got it backwards. i think they
do anyway.
us: backward
how?
him:
well, to them the chemicals come first. then that causes us to behave in
certain ways. to me we're in certain intolerable situations and learn to
behave a certain way to get out of them or around them. then that causes
the chemicals to change. but what do i know? i'm just some dumb fuck.
us: if
you want to be.
him:
maybe i do.
us: do
you?
him:
sure. why not? it's easier that way. i don't have to think about nothing.
us: then
what's the problem then?
him:
it's easier said than done. i can't stop thinking.
us: what
do you think about?
him:
everything.
us: such
as?
him:
such as how they got everything ass backwards inside out upside down and
sideways.
us: like
what?
him:
like, i don't know. that's just the way it is.
us: are
we talking about what you think or how you feel?
him:
same difference really. the two are as easily divided apart as some people
would have themselves believe. not to me anyway. like the chemicals. the
way they got it it's like saying the cart pushes the horse. but nevermind.
us: you
always say that too.
him:
what?
us: nevermind.
him:
so what?
us: so,
it never gets past that.
him:
why should it?
us: maybe
you wouldn't be so pissed off and depressed all the time.
him:
i don't get pissed off and depressed all the time.
us: whatever
you say.
him:
you're saying i do?
us: not
all the time. not as much as you used to. but pretty often, yes.
him:
well, tough shit.
us: well,
same to you.
him:
fine.
us: fine
by us too.
and that's more or less it. sometimes there's more. sometimes there's less. sometimes it's nothing at all. it comes and goes. nobody else will put up with it. we're pretty much stuck with it. and him. and that's ok. it's our job. one of our jobs.
the time
to come is gone. let's not fool ourselves talking about tomorrow. that's
yesterday's news. to bad if anyone missed it. we were waiting for anyone
to show up at the station and couldn't wait any longer and had to split.
divide ourselves apart from ourselves. snakes shedding skin. wheat from
the chaff. opening and closing. beginning and ending. and all that type
jazz groove thing.
and where
was anyone? where was everyone? where was someone? didn't they see it coming?
didn't they see it when it was here? don't they see it now? how are we
supposed to know?
we got
ours. we hope they got theirs.
kisses.
ink stained fingers. the suspect licks the bad taste in his mouth off his
front teeth. it's always the same here. james brown on the radio.
and as
he looks at us wondering maybe somehow. we don't know what to say. we don't
know what he wants. we don't know if he knows what he wants.
we were
talking a little before. communion, he said. anything that doesn't work
toward arriving at communion is bullshit.
we asked
him what he meant by communion.
he said
he couldn't explain it. we should know. that you just know it when it happens.
when it feels like everything is all right.
we said
that happens different ways for different people and that it's the communion
with the self that matters. we told him that we always feel that everything
is all right. as to whether or not other people feel that way or not isn't
something we can do anything about. it's up to them to find their own way
to it. the best we can do is to try to avoid by our actions or presence
to interfere with them reaching it. we do not know what it is that will
do it for them. one thing that works for one may not work for another.
we can only assume that they are trying. maybe they aren't. communion may
not be something that people universally want. it would seem that it is
not. we said that most of our observations of people is that very few want
to be in a state where and when everything seems to be all right. we do
not understand that but that seems to be the way it is. they mostly act
to be disruptive to that state. and they seem to not only not want it for
themselves but for no one else to have it either. but that's how it goes.
he said
nothing for awhile. he didn't seem satisfied with what we had said. maybe
he shouldn't have been. we don't know. we said it but we don't know if
it's right or not. he seems to want an answer that is right. to somehow
know that it is the right answer whatever that answer might be. something
that will give him direction and purpose. something to morally guide him
toward that which he cannot see or get to otherwise. strange to feel that
way. strange to feel the emptiness that he must feel. we wish we could
fill that emptiness up for him and all others like him that we see around
us. but we cannot. we do not see it as something needing to be filled.
we fill it with ourselves, we suppose. if anything, we are that emptiness
- what he and others perceive as being empty. there is no emptiness. only
the inability to be able to see that it is full.
or something
like that. we don't know. words. all we have are words that we give him
as he writes them down. is he even listening to any of them? they cannot
replace what he does not feel. what does he feel? we don't know. this rage
and sorrow he expresses to us. the emptiness. we can see it in him.
we see it in others. we do not understand it. not anymore. we think we
might have once felt that way. we've forgotten by now what it felt like
or why. we do not know what changed or when it did. it seems like we've
always felt like we do now. the calm joy. the radiance of being. are we
different from any other? we still feel the same emotions as they do but
they do not overcome us. maybe we are different.
9/13
as it
often breaks. as we speak huddled in our private parties. we wave to each
other floating downstream. the bath tub race. self-propelled flags. a rally
'round. costumes.
him: so?
us: so
what?
him:
we keep going around all this. we keep coming up with nothing.
us: what
do you expect to come up with?
him:
i'm not sure. something. i used to believe it would be different by now.
us: what
would be different?
him:
this. all of this. people. the world.
us: different
in what way?
him:
i don't know. just different. that we would be different than how we are.
us: how
can we be different?
him:
i guess we can't. it's not so much that though. it's admitting that we
aren't any different and we never will be. and we only make things worse
by trying.
us: so
we shouldn't try to be different?
him:
well, yes and no. that's not what i'm saying either. part of us that isn't
any different is all of us trying to be different. yet we fear how different
we are, which isn't any different than how it always has been. and on and
on. i guess i'm not really saying anything. nothing different from anyone
else (laughs).
us: well,
we feel that we can't really say. we don't know if we're quite following
what you're saying. and not even that. we feel that we don't know how to
follow what you are saying because we don't know where it begins - where
you begin it. where do you begin it?
him:
begin what?
us: begin
what you are trying to say.
him:
well, it begins at the beginning. where else would it begin?
us: we
don't know. so where is the beginning?
him:
here.
us: here?
him:
it begins here.
us: when?
him:
now.
us: what
about what came before?
him:
what about it?
us: didn't
that begin before this?
him:
did it?
us: we
think so.
him:
maybe it did and maybe it didn't. i don't know. i think that it did but
i don't know if i can trust that part of me that thinks that.
us: what
part of you?
him:
the human part, i suppose.
us: what
other part is there?
him:
well, there's you.
us: but
we are you and you are us. we are the same.
him:
are we?
us: aren't
we?
him:
i don't think i'm the same as you. do you really think you're the same
as me?
us: we
must be. we're in the same body - in the same mind.
him:
the same consciousness?
us: well,
we must be.
him:
why?
us: we
don't know why. it's just the way it is.
him:
not to me it's not. i am different than you. i am a different consciousness
than you. that consciousness extends past beyond yours. your consciousness
is part of mine.
us: we
don't believe that.
him:
then don't. see if i care.
us: why
should we believe it?
him:
there's no reason why you should. but there's no reason why you shouldn't.
is there?
us: we
don't know. this is a very tricky area. we're not sure. we don't know what
may or may not apply here.
him:
imagination. imagination based on inspiration.
us: and
what is that?
him:
anything one might want it to be.
us: anything?
him:
anything.
us: then
you might be part of our consciousness.
him:
you got it.
us: we
do?
him:
yes.
us: oh
yeah, we do...

blues
for all. he's got blues for it all. he doesn't know anyone but he knows
them when he sees them. how is that? which one of us is the spy? are there
any spies? he's surrounded by spies.
maybe.
maybe not. it hardly matters. not now. not now that he sees by this dawn's
early light or something of some such now and again. it sings us a song.
he remembers quite well as such it is. as such it was. he expects. he expects
as the dreamtime continues. he is dreaming of a bullet coming up behind
him...
yada-dada.

so as
this is this and this is it. time when time is. now. and all that is or
was involved in that. climbing out of it. becoming. opening. breaking it
down into bite-sized pieces. digesting. eat and shit. process of what is
developing. sun and rain.
incompleted.
dead language. it takes so long. it takes remembering. everything is wrong.
we are wrong. we should have left everything as it was. would we have been
able to? he's shut it out. he's turned it off. he's not the only one. to
forget all this flesh and all it's pain and sorrow. to remember something
else. a face in the crowd. no one. today is one time. a veil. what do we
symbolize?
and he
sits in the cafe nearby where everything began and ended once. he looks
out the window still. this death outlook everyone appears to have. he has
nothing at this time. and time is all it ever was. take that away. take
it all away. what is left to feel? what is the point in asking questions
like that? now tomorrow. out of time. phrases of this language that mean
nothing. and he's not sure who may be lying to him or not. if they know
that they are. what is the truth to them? unbroken series. trust. what
is trust now? the biggest and the strongest. the repeated logic.
he does
not speak to us. we are left to make up whatever we want to. a story of
crimes he is guilty of. he won't mind. he's taken care of. he's absorbed
in what keeps him silent. he cannot turn against us. he is alone. we are
many - legion. we are correct. we can do no wrong. who is he? he can barely
tie his own shoes. he had his chance to join us. now it is too late. he
had his time. there are many ways he could have been useful but he used
up all that energy fighting us. now he is left with dreams.
he imagines
himself sitting beneath a tree in a garden. he calls it the tree of life.
he sleeps and once in awhile he wakes and eats of the fruit of this tree
and experiences the drama.
the other
tree is the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. he has eaten of this
tree before. we had to ask him to leave. you want to experience good and
evil? you want to judge between this and that? then you know where you
can go, we told him. and he did. and many more with him. and he with many
more. elsewhere.
and everyone
is quiet. too quiet. he looks around and wonders what they are thinking.
black shoes. he wonders about black shoes. what sort of people wear black
shoes? he doesn't know. but he looks down and his shoes are black. maybe
it's nothing. just a part of the dream.
and it's
our job to make sure he feels safe and protected. he's not sure who he
can trust - if anyone. he trusts us. he believes in us. we make sure he
feels safe and protected. can anyone else say the same?
he's
a killer. in his mind he has killed everyone. he had them all taken out
and shot. he's pushed the button and blown up the entire planet. in his
mind. we are here to make sure he doesn't actually do that. can anyone
else say the same?
nevermind.
it's none of our business. just like what we do is nobody else's business.
though we do know exactly what others are doing. we know it far better
than anyone since they all work for us - though not directly. not as anyone
might think of it. they don't think of it. they're not being paid to think
about it. that's our job.
so he's
sitting beneath this tree in this garden. his garden. his tree and garden
is in the center of a city. the imaginary city is what he calls it though
it's been known by many other names by others who have been there. he knows
what it is.
he looks
out the window. another cigarette. learn to forget. the news on the radio
sounding like so much gibberish. the babbling of babylon.
and many
more others are in this city with him and/or he is in this city with many
more others. each having their own garden. each an image. he knows we are
taking care of everything. we work for him.
and this
is all on the island.
or maybe
not.
it happens
all sorts of ways differently and the same.
and the
city is very easy to get into once one is able to get past the two guardians,
fear and desire. there are those who would invade the imaginary city and
burn it to the ground. part of our job is to see that this doesn't happen.
watch
tv. read a book. go to the movies. get drunk. go dancing. play bingo. ski.
surf. join a rock and roll band. join the circus. run for political office.
just keep oneself busy. occupied. don't just sit there, do something. no
use thinking of things that only trouble one's mind and make one crazy.
one has better things to do. so much to accomplish.
we see
that it doesn't happen by keeping these people entertained. also by keeping
them divided so they can never organize together and revolt against us
- whoever we are...
we constantly
remind them how different they are from each other and that these differences
are important and they should be wary of others who aren't like them. this
doesn't work all the time with everyone, but often enough with most. even
one's closest friends should be suspect. we give them money to spend, but
never enough. we make sure there is more than they could ever buy and be
happy with so they gladly go back to work every day to make more.
occupied.
busy. we give them jobs that for the most part serve no practical purpose
except keep the machine going. the machine that spits out tons of consumer
goods that they can barely afford. this takes up all their time and energy
so they can't even think of anything else.
when
it does happen that they have had enough sometimes we direct their frustration
and anger against one another. these people against those people. each
thinking the other are the cause of all their problems.
and on
and on forever.
this
way we keep him safe and protected.
and so
it's something like that. and he knows no one else sees it the way he does.
the way he imagines it. and he listens to the noise of the people around
him. he listens for those speaking who may have found a garden in the imaginary
city like he did. he can tell by the laughter in their voices more than
by their words they use. but he's been fooled before by that. and now even
the laughter of those around him sounds lifeless. unreal. the whole of
unreality he sees that they no doubt see as solid and real. and who is
he to argue? he is tired of arguing. let them have it all. we have given
him what he wants and all he needs. he asks for no more and we give him
no less. a point of balance.
and it's
all a dream. it's nothing to anyone else. we drift through them unnoticed.
we do not exist within what they perceive to exist. there is no way for
us to define ourselves in a way they they will allow themselves to comprehend.
there's no money in it. let it slide. into the nevermind.
we are
happy and amused with who and what we are and who and what we are becoming.
more so even. we can only hope others are too. it just doesn't seem much
like to us that they are. but maybe we're wrong. 90% of what they talk
about is complaining about one thing or another. this and that. good and
evil. in this world of theirs. so strange. as their lives slip through
their fingers. they are somehow or another satisfied with this spending
so much time doing what they say they don't want to be doing and having
no time to do what they want - if they know what they want.
oh well.
there doesn't seem to be much we can do though it is possible for us to
do anything. everything. all they have to do is ask. and they never do.
they are convinced that this is all who they are and this is all that they
get. all because they are being punished by some god for some crime they
didn't commit - or something like that. or because it's all meaningless.
we can't figure it out. none of them seem to be too sure about it either.
something
that sets itself down as it is what it is. in time. time being time. zoom
in and out of it. micro and macro and all in-between like that. set in
fluid motion of perception and experience. changing changelessness. oh
boy. something. to be what is. eyes opened. even in sleep.
transmit.
to formulate
the theory of it. to dream of the theory. the theory of dreaming. to be
human. with human dreams. possibilities. no possibility. dead end reality.
this is it. no more. no less. mind to mind. radiating from one center of
consciousness to another. or something like that, darling.
the theory
of it that drives the machine. the machine that completes the project by
playing the game.
and on
and on.
and the
man who holes himself up somewhere. an old hotel in the bad ass part of
town. the old town that exists in every town. the man who seeks direct
experience. who seeks the real. no nonsense reality. the holiness of life
on the rocks. chained with waves crashing over him his liver torn out.
the eye that offendth him plucked out. hung upside down on the tree by
his own spear. to reach that point of view where and when one may forgive
everything - even god. all except himself. he can never be accepted back
into the tribe. he has forever stepped out of the circle unbroken.
this
is it. this is the beginning and the end.
this
is the theory in practice.
and we've
seen this man lost and confused - or seeming to be. mumbling to himself
as he shuffles along the sidewalk or through the park. laying out in some
doorway. everything and everyone can be truly forgiven. not him. his crimes
cannot be spoken of in any terms but with out and out disgust. he has fallen
beneath any definition of humanity. a creature now, perhaps from hell itself.
the hell we will do anything to avoid falling into ourselves. we will put
anyone in our place instead. anyone. as long as it's not us. anyone but
us. he is not one of us. never has been. ask him. he will tell one himself.
he will tell one who and what he is. if he knows. if he can find the words.
he knows there is no hope for him. he knows who he was born to be.
he also
knows that he is the necessary ingredient to make our reality work. he
knows that without him everything else will fall apart and collapse in
on itself - ourselves.
but this
is not really true.
he's
just some fucking bum.
ignore
him. do what you do. step around him sprawled out in a stupor of forgetfulness.
don't let him into your consciousness. it is a disease. one will make oneself
sick. pay it no mind. no need to do anything other than celebrate one's
own accomplishments. he could have had his time. and maybe he did once.
long ago. no one remembers. who cares? obviously he doesn't. that is not
what he wants. he just wants to be left alone. fuck off and die, he'll
shout.
or maybe
he's a spy. a disguise. an agent. the one person no one would suspect as
having the entire situation under control. maybe he's laughing at us. watching
us run faster and faster on our treadmills that powers the machine. a grin.
a grin of dirty crooked teeth. a grin of understanding. into the vacuum
of his eyes.
this time
of being. this axis of experience all other experience revolves around.
one gear of many. radiating spokes (spooks). a halo of all coming in and
all going out.
or so
it seems sometimes in moments that come and go through this moment that
stretches elastic forever and a day. one more day. the earth rolling us
around toward to face the sun again. and then back into the night. the
moon watching. the planets and stars. clockwork spheres of light and gravity.
and one
doesn't have to lay oneself down. some idiot martyr no one notices or cares
about. one can if one wants to. the position is always open. always a vacancy.
always room for one more. come alone. no one to hold one's hand. no one
who understands this sacrifice. no one who welcomes one home. no one else
but oneself in a zillion reflections of oneself.
few and
far between. all hope abandoned. one following another. no need to hurry.
not with us. we watch over one. we will not directly interfere. one will
not see us. not for long. not when one expects it. and one will not realize
until after we're gone without a trace that it was even one of us at all.
one of us who stepped into one's world to be sure everything was going
according to plan. make minor adjustments and then gone.
and we
know nothing of this. we will deny it. nothing of the sort occurs. don't
worry. don't think about it. it's just some idle dream fantasy involved
in the theory. along lines of things like money - lots of money - not buying
happiness and other romantic trash like that. suffering is suffering. pain
is pain. dream on.
in the
memory of something forgotten. not a thought of it. our lives go on. dancing
on graves. a glass of water.
and what
do we tell anyone here? what stories among all the stories and their variations
do we tell to one who might be lingering. malingering. which one will be
believed? which ones support one's belief or contradict it? nevermind what
is or what is not. that is beyond the scope of rationalogical thinking.
no one is willing to think that far away. react to stimuli. learned reaction
to similar stimuli. on and on. passed on from one to another. alone in
the darkness with nothing else to go on. nothing else to believe in. nothing
past the onslaught of stimulation one needs to react to - or die.
nothing.
nevermind.
we drift.
we wander aimlessly down sidetracks into nowhere surrounding us. we could
feel ourselves to be lost if we were paying attention to where we were
going or trying to get to. but we aren't. not really. this is where we
are going. this is where we are. how can we be lost? where else did we
expect to be? some promised land of milk and honey where we live forever
in love, peace and harmony? where we strike it rich and live in big fancy
houses we fill with expensive junk? where no one is any longer oppressed
and everyone has what they want and need in equality and can express themselves
any fucking way they want without fear of retaliation? where were we expecting
to be? where were we expecting to be going?
maybe
they were. not us. we are wherever we happen to end up. following whatever
general direction which way. wandering here or there. finding things of
momentary interest along the way we are able to take with us or leave behind.
leave others behind too who feel they've had enough. settle down some place
good enough.
that's
part of the theory. one part. one part in 6+ billion. when the music's
over...
and all
that.
the story.
the story involved in the theory and the theory involved in the story.
stories and theories.
and so
it goes.
such
a joy.
as it
goes.
where
were we?
something
about death. he was thinking something about death. his own death sometimes.
a gun. a trigger. silence. then what? a form of meditation. he'd slow it
down. imagine the bullet moving down the barrel and impacting his skull
and shattering a hole through the bone and into the gooey gray stuff of
neurons and things with a shock wave pushing and shoving it all out of
the way disintegrating until it reaches the one point in space and time
when the final neuron is exploded that kills him dead.
and he
thinks of zeno.
and he
thinks of an infinitesimal infinity of fractions.
and he
plays it again.
and again.
the point
of no return.
and this
would do. he'd play this death loop a number of times. when he just wanted
to fuck off and die. but not really. who's he kidding?
when
the whole world was against him and just wanted him to fuck off and die.
at least as far as he could tell. how was he to know? no one would come
out and say it to his face. they'd turn away and ignore him or shine on
their practiced social smiles and formal words of polite conversation to
cover over their real feelings. but he knows. he could tell. since the
day he was born he knew he wasn't wanted. he wasn't fooled by it anymore.
he knew what was underneath the sugarcoating of the pills they handed him
to swallow. mind death candy. they wanted him to be a robot zombie just
like them. they could not and would not tolerate him or anyone of his kind
in their world. he knew that much. he'd seen others shot down in flames
and captured and brainwashed into functioning citizens of the greater community.
if one side didn't get them then another side would. or another. or another.
groups of us-minded folk who knew they were right and everybody else was
wrong and proved it by the numbers of people they could recruit and control
what they thought was proper and correct to think. hail victory! the battle
cry of the war of ages of one bunch of apes against the other over who
was allowed into the promised land.
not him.
that was for sure. not like he was. as he is. as he intends to remain no
matter the odds against him.
a fantasy
vision. a self-administered sugarcoated pill. who cares? maybe no more
than what he needed to doubt to keep himself from...
the gun.
every
day, the gun.
once
death is put aside life becoming a little more interesting and amusing.
open to possibilities as however improbable they might be. he didn't care.
as far as he was concerned he was dead. fuck it.

and didn't know what he did not know.
intuitive

ghost.
anyway.
he didn't like his head clogged up with facts. knowledge of facts wasn't
knowing. static stagnant facts. he looked for anything that would guide
him to that sense of knowing. a sense. another sense. something. time will
tell. he writes instead. trying to write down everything he knows knowing.
it wasn't much but it was different each time he wrote it. arrangement
of words. and no one reads it. no one needs to read it. there was no reason
for them to. they would know it already - wouldn't they?
he thought
of it as common knowledge. common knowing. if he knew it, why shouldn't
they?
common
understanding.
forget
knowledge. facts? what good is facts if there is no common understanding?
something
like that.
is there
a test? that's what schools prepared one for - a test. a test of facts.
they always wanted more. expected more.
they
wanted to be strong. they wanted him to surrender. to their command. their
command of the facts. their approval. they had their ways of convincing
anyone that one's own strength could only come from association with them.
but he
knew different. he understood it differently.
without
the facts.
they
would measure him to show him what less than nothing he was on his own
and if he didn't shape up and fit in he would be let go and forgotten.
this
was a test. pass or fail. a test of understanding. does one understand?

perhaps there's still a few things one does not understand. let's step
into this room here and talk about it. see if we can't solve this little
problem one seems to be having.

and when it begins. where and when it ends. basic understanding.
he got
by on less and less. down. underneath. into the bone. into the marrow.
into himself. and the voices spoke to him there once the noise from the
outside world was filtered out. his own voices. the voices from himself
as who and what he is. not as those who only spoke to him as someone they
expected him to be. he could tell the difference. he learned to tell one
from the other.
don't
give in. hold on. even if it means losing everything else.
the time
that becomes the time of all the time when there is no time. no time for
anyone. no time for anything. action. inaction. to see what is and is not
divided by each moment in the continuous flow of the moment now beginning
and ending at the same time that is all the time no time.

but anyway
- besides all that jazz stuff and so forth as we were telling everyone
along lines of something along the lines of a theory along the lines of
the possibility of it except we keep getting tangled up in the probability
thing involved in other possibilities narrowed down into our limited possible
experiences and derive from hence and along the lines of possibilities
unwinding from them to us to him just sitting here writing it all downwise.

anyone follow anything suchwise as that though however it may be diverged

story. something about something. and the this and that of it being the
place and time that we have been before within concepts of choosing where
and when it is here and now. within parameters of objection. within our
developing minds. an interview. to drown in it.
and he
struggles with it. for no reason. this has been what has been before. there
is nothing new about it or anything old about it. it's just here and now.
just a thing like anything else. it absorbed him and he absorbed it. like
that. like anything.
and he
was on his own in this.

and an
equal... no. not what is equal. as each exists in inequality. everything
is not what everything else is. a redundant clause. a misleading interpretation.
no, we
do not believe in anyone. this is our application to that which is a key
to which no more should be applied. what?
and the
sound of it. as the demons arrive on the scene. leaping screaming and ripping
heads off and disemboweling and other such mega instant death activity.
tenth
level. ok. sometimes it seems like something else. sometimes it seems like
what it is. sometimes no one knows anything.
and trying
to remember who he is and what he was supposed to do. he has conquered
the world. now what to do with it? a bunch of robots who are given instructions
to carry out and if they don't they can be replaced. that's all there is
to it. they were already ready. no one really noticed. all he had to do
was step into place. somebody. why not him? just smile and take command.
be everybody's friend and worst enemy. feel nothing. just business plain
and simple. fair but unyielding.
he never
had the heart for this. his heart was too open to the pain. he wasn't tough
enough. he wasn't hardened early on by experience. he led a comfortable
life. he didn't figure out until way late that people couldn't be trusted.
that he couldn't be trusted. that trust had nothing to do with it.
and now
he knew better. or he thought he knew better. maybe not. but still he just
doesn't really give a shit about all of that. it comes too easy.
lost

and whatever
as he writes more words the radio playing songs calculated to be popular.
everything calculated to be popular. he sleeps through it. he doesn't care.
he cannot care. no one to talk to here. everyone calculating how to be
popular.
and something
like that. he'd write a poem but who cares about poetry? there's jingle
writers and drunken has-beens and young drunken wanna-be has-beens. too
much, man, too much. he forgot to laugh. poison to the soul. drink deep
the sleep. drown into the darkness. the light is too confusing. too much
to think about. everyone wants to be popular - right? no one wants to be
around those who entertain madness. no one. fill in the blank. preset.
program. dance the rhythm of the popular thought. just nod one's head.
stay away from the edge. danger.
and an
evening in blue romance. searching each other's eyes for someone to confess
to. lay down. lay it down. nice and easy. smooth. don't have to think about
nothing. just follow the directions. fold on the dotted line. tab a into
slot b. here we go again.
somewhere
else. gazing out another window. another cup of coffee. another cigarette.
inside another paragraph. he thinks about it. he remembers it. he comes
back to it. it's the same and not the same. the same words appear on the
page.
and once
in awhile he's struck by the amazement and wonder of his own existence.
no matter how problematic it is for others as they quickly try to make
their deals and come out ahead and always falling behind, he sees every
detail of it put together in an endless series of improbable connections
that result in something as overlooked as a spoon among the rest which
he watches it grabbed and torn apart without a thought as the person thing
of other mutual improbabilities and on and on about whatever hopeless form
drama is found here in his contemplation flowing inward and outward as
he sits here existing between forgetting and remembering something else.
or nothing. it could all be nothing. then who or what is he? and who or
what does he experience. is anyone out there? or is he only surrounded
by myriad forms of reflections of himself and his fears and desires? he
cannot be sure. possibility.
and he's
tried to make the connection. he's tried to reach through it to the other
side of his experience to see who and what he is to another. and so far
he has been unable to do it. there is either no one or nothing there to
reach through to.
either/or
the same. the same experience. and to use this language the way it is.
the words and what they seem to mean to others. but he could be wrong.
is he afraid to be wrong? maybe he is. he doesn't think so. he knows or
suspects that he is wrong. that is nothing. that is what he expects. that
is what he has always known. someday he'll figure it out. idle. running
with nowhere to go. he watches and waits. but so far he sees no one who
seems to know much about anything he wants to know about than he does.
and nothing new has so far come to him as he keeps writing down the words
he knows by heart over and over in whatever different combinations he can
think of for the time being that always end up seeming the same to him.
nothing to it. or maybe not. who knows what any of it means? not so much
what he means but what the words themselves mean. it's not himself, but
the words. it's all the words. but maybe there is none.
and that's
how his day goes with his coffee and cigarettes and nearby gazing out of
window. and a notebook laying before him. and pen in his hand. usually
sitting alone though there are those few who don't avoid him. an eye in
a storm of confusion. an island with a house and garden. and so far...
oh well.
we talk with him or sometimes we don't talk at all. he doesn't talk. he'll
remain cloaked in deep silence and only grunt to questions put to him or
not even that. there are places he goes where we don't know how to find.
he leaves us behind. we don't mind except we sometimes feel he needs to
escape us. we feel he blames us for bringing and keeping him here. we remind
him that he came here and remains here of his own free will and we were
only here waiting. we knew he would come but we did not force him. we don't
think we did.
he goes
back to their world. he will not completely leave it. not until circumstances
demand it in one way or the other. we are with him there also. we know
where it is. it's easy. it makes so much noise. no one could miss it. we
follow him. we sit back and watch. see what happens. he knows we are there.
we say nothing unless he does. we feel that he thinks we are judging him.
he thinks we are waiting to tell him, we told you so. that is not the case.
we wait for when he gets tired so we may guide him home. let him rest.
and all
of us are here. all of us like him. we watch the others and scratch our
heads at the things they do. but maybe it's us. maybe not. as the future
seems to become more and more frightening. or is our memory of the past
that keeps breaking through? it all seems the same to us. but perhaps our
fear is unfounded. we don't know. we'll wait and see.
and sometimes
the way the others look at us it seems like they think it's us fucking
it all up. are we? we don't think so but it could be. we want things to
change for the better for everyone. is that so bad? we just don't know
how to do it with all these others in the way running things into the ground
without thinking about a thing they're doing. we could take control but
it'd be the same old game. say hello to the new boss. so we watch and wait.
it's up to
them to define what they want it to be. who they want us to be. whatever
is written in their play. anyone and anything at all. but we're not hanging
around forever. there are other worlds we can go to where our presence
is welcome. but there always remains the possibility here and now. how
long will they want their cold cruel world where no one can be trusted
and nothing is real? all is silent. an immense void of meaningless waste.
and each one alone. everyone a stranger in a strange land. what can we
give them that they cannot provide for themselves - that they can only
provide for themselves?
a day
or two later -
and when
it came to pass that what was to come to pass was indeed upon us. hope
and dread. there were few who did not speak of it in one manner or another.
not just the prophets. these are the times, they say as they hurry themselves
after what comfort they can find and never seem to attain them for long
before they are lost. we sit among them and speak with them and find their
minds unable to focus before it spins on and on endlessly searching. they
seem to seek more problems than solutions.
we feel
we understand them as they do not understand themselves. we have been watching
and waiting for so long now. how much through their history we have done
so. they have yet to enter the here and now and that future. their own
language will not let them that they invented for themselves that we fumble
with trying to describe it to them. the words go astray. the words are
meaningless babble to them. yet it is their own language. they think of
it as madness. how can one convince them that their madness is what can
set them free? but they are blinded by this and/or that. they are twisted
in it chasing one or the other or both.
but none
of this is known to them except backwards. and they will listen to none
of it. they say we are crazy. they call us fools. we are fools in paradise.
while they keep building their walls against one another. while they keep
designing weapons to defend themselves against themselves. they divide
themselves from each other and themselves. we are amazed by them. we are
astounded.
and so
we wonder as to our own purpose here and why we were born into it. it was
not we who decided such things. what can we do but try to radiate ourselves
out to them?
and a
word of it. a word of delightful joyful celebration that the world and
universe resound in with the living now. the word known to all. it - it
- it. a word of fear and desire and of all other things. a cry of birth
and death. the being of the word. the word of being. not a name. not a
description. but a declaration. it. and no other word is like it. no other
word so simple yet filled with such complexity. all words are silent to
it as their vibrations only serve to carry its vibration.
and hoopla
like that.
on bonding mirrors bondage we reality done wooden have always thus declare in conversation turns into through the desperate scale tipped hands violent what the fuck reaching in non-judging high vibration circular coming out of arms length people whatever forgot to different edge thickness energy cave bells and more bells without hopelessness remembered.

and about
what we feel about it. and what he's trying to get to. the spaces between
friends and dada. it seems to him all in this world is lost to itself.
biological process. or maybe he is lost it it. individuality. the nights
are coming as is something screaming we cannot hear. we are some place
else from here. we are dreaming of this. scribe. and the people who are
not people. their names are not important. nor their faces. what has come
and what has gone. almost get it then it slips away. children who suffer
always under themselves. and the poor we shall always have with us. out
of the world and into the word. words are not magick. with and without
the word. real/not real.
and all
the argument about this and that. 3:29. a gray and white cat. or something
simple. and out of the flame.
and he
appeared to us and we appeared to him. and we were appeared to one another
of what has been and what will be. as is one as with the other. to those
of this our kind. to those who remember in remembering of it. to that which
has been with us. to that which has guided us here to be with one and another.
and to
those of our kind who are far away from us. bad breath. we write to them.
we try to find the words of remembering we have forgotten.
we don't
know. there's something. always something else. and those who have deserted
themselves for nothing. those who have fallen for the ways of those who
rule the world. and such it is. and we are ourselves among them and they
themselves among us. quickly it is forgotten and we are divided. we have
become enemies to one another. this has been through and by circumstances
of our birth and condition. and yet there is anger and hatred because of
it. so what is it that we hold onto that is so sacred that makes our lives
such misery? we call upon each other in different names. we cast each other
out from ourselves. we seek and have thought to live through each other's
death.
and such
and so it has been and will be with those of this world. their war will
go on forever for it pleases them to do so. and this is how we please them.
this is who and what they are and how they wish to do. it is of a nevermind
to us who pass this way slowly.
and this
is where we meet.
