Grammar tells us
what kind of an object
anything is. So does light.
“Thought
is surrounded
by a
halo…”
You can feel yourself thinking
but can you think yourself feeling?
A state of what?
“You’re a smarty pants
do you want to dance?”
Touch is important
in a dark universe,
but print is useless
much less unreal
Mechanical Tao
The robot pushes small obstacles out of the
way, goes round heavy ones, and avoids slopes.
The BIG crayon
for little fingers
Where is it written
that we must write
right side up?
Advantage –
ah, it stays with us
past the asking
Are we
some kind
of filter, some
diode
it’s all being
run through?
I am here with this (my mind, etc.)
“I am not here with my mind”
Learning to forget
occurring in the instant,
uneasily wise
& so, poorly aware
Space isn’t
in Language –
or as the child cries
“Outside! Outside!”
I walk in
on occasion
One room fronts on
open, unqualified spaces.
The other is bound
by a wall. All its
area is thought up.

Around
nouns
people are
nervous,
possessive
People on television
give you their
public self
like people
on elevators
“What has the greatest importance
is not the twelve tones, but,
much more, the serial conception…”
More hair

day

yes indeed...
The unimaginable power of the senses.
Last night I was chatting with my wife about poetry as a 'form of enquiry' (perhaps you would spell it 'inquiry'?)
This is exactly what I meant.
O,
On a clear day
You can see
Our heads shining
Forever
Lucy,
Yes, the imagination will never be as keen as they are (said the dull old man, feeling his way in the dark).
Zeph,
The one good thing I can say about those notorious "senior" moments when the names escape one--the less nouns left in the baggage compartment, the less trouble for the porters later.
Stu,
I told you a while back you were my hero, and I wasn't trying to be witty--but I'm afraid the honour has now been transferred to Tronica. Though then again, any woman who will discuss forms of enquiry with her spouse must have a bloody brilliant one, if he's capable of keeping her interested. So it's honours all round... many thanks!
