i want to write without words and without "trying" to impress anyone. ok, the first part will be a little tough. let me try..... rrrstrng fretslobberheist, non chipper smorgen. did you get that?
hey i inadvertently did the second part! i was reading an op-ed on op-eds and the quote that stuck with me was "opinion can be so interesting." i fear i'm stuck in this groove of wanting to be interesting. what is this, a new twist on my mid life crisis i've been dealing with for the last 2 or 3 years?
and all my arm twisting to recruit fellow warriors...well, let me spend a little time here.
it came on gradually for me, this understanding of how toxic is the whole corporation thing. i don't mean like small business corporations. i even have a few of those (though it bugs me because it feels so hypocritical at times). i'm talking about large corporations which are literally destroying the planet and creating very difficult lives, as a result of the economic outcome, for most of civilization (including for their own workers).
and then there is this spiritual revolution at play. a big departure from organized religion (or it can be--though i know some people who are very active in organized religion who have tapped in to deep spirituality in the midst of that mind fuck). my take on it is that God (for lack of a better word, as Lao said about Tao) is playing a tune and the music has us bouncing behind like a bunch of (let's say bunnies and create a better image than some other rodent) rabbits. Except instead of heading to our certain drowning death, we're hopping to a promised land. But not after we're vaporized and so only going to get to the gates of heaven as ghosts, but actually making a way to harmony, in balance with all of creation, right here on our blessed planet--Gaia!
the big joke in all this is it feels like we're hovering somewhere around 50% that we're going to turn the curve toward sanity. some say we've got a slightly higher chance. some predict we've got a little bias against us to survive. some argue we're way weighted toward the negative. then of course there are those who swear that Fox News tells it like it is...
SANITY? if we throw in the whole illusion/reality thing, and insist like i do that the road to sanity means a total flip-flop on how we run the world, and that what we try to hold on to as reality...(insert the lyrics to Nowhere Man here).
so anyhoo. on to the experiment. i haven't erased a word or letter here and plan to not change a thing. what i'm going to attempt for my next stunt is some kind of experimental poetry. bear with me. i'm going to unplug here for a second and close my eyes. see you on the flip side....
shibby dee and shibby doo, he's smiling
the embrace he has for you will make everyone cry a kind of laughter which shatters
no. just shatters.
swallow softly and share fruit
this dance is fucking crazy--aint it fun?
why am i such an ass hole most of the time?
i wish my dad was still alive
hvren stotter slggn--rss. Rss.
we almost touched at sunset.
TOMORROW!

interesting - particularly the experimental poem. has the experiment yeilded results?
ReplyDeletei guess the experiment was just to see what would come out. i suppose the true success story would be someone saying they understood the jibberish!
ReplyDeleteWhen anything gets too big, there will be problems. That includes corporations, physical bodies, ideas, celebrity, when city states become nations, etc. I could go on but you get the picture.
ReplyDeleteAutomatic writing is cool! (Stream of consciousness.) Painters, dancers and especially musicians write without words all the time. Dance around the room, Dub, and you'll have done it!
ok now I get it... and what I get is that I don't have to get it. Nothing you said, (or say) needs to be validated by me. Just the fact that it comes from you makes it mean something to me.
ReplyDeletehuzzah!!! the experiment worked!
beautiful! from both of you! Thanks. or maybe I should say slafgo heppy VROSNO, vrosno
ReplyDeleteWordsworth said that "Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful emotion."
ReplyDeleteI love how your words flitter out like a backyard stream. Rock and roll, Win - thanks for being a world-saver.
Hey Kit Kat, so wonderful to see you here! Thank you! You've inspired me to add another post. Wish me luck!
