this land is in thought.

darkened
hard or soft
crumbled earth,
cast in blue,
and does it
look cold.

death in space
seems to
matter more.
almost like
death in napa
seeds fertility.

part of what
softens death
is
is the release!
...and receipt.
space receives
nothing.

Existence and Remembrance

Sometimes...
I suspect I am not
what I remember.

You know.
you are who
you are now,
but
as you remember
you become something
else.

and well
every time
you remember something
it becomes something
else
to remember.

so
as I remember
myself
being,
as I remember,
I remember
myself
being.

hence
to remember,
is to remember
remembering
at the very least.

at each moment,
we change;
we are
flowing.

our remembrance
calls to the fact that
we can remember.

myself
in my memories
is unified
because
I was a self
when I remembered
last
remembering.

a poem discussing the fact that our sense of self arises as the result of many simultaneous neural processes. however, it's not just that. it's a particular perspective of those simultaneous processes. that perspective is what Plato referred to in his Allegory of the Cave. We are prisoners who never see the light, only shadows of it reflected.

WE=~we, US ~= us.
We=>we, Us=>us.
We=>WE, Us=>US.

the image shows a hierarchy of ones changing.
each neuron is not special, its meaning comes from
its place in the hierarchy from the senses.
but its not a hierarchy.
there are just things
that are obscured
by the shadows.

one changes




perspective.

if our thoughts
are guided
and our thoughts
guide over
planes
a space of thoughts,
represented working.
as our
thoughts guide,
we experience.
as WE experience,
we guide.
and as guide,
WE experience anew.
hence,
WE exist on many planes
and
WE are
those planes
considered
as a whole.

We are sensitive
to what changes.
If we see a light,
We find a light
and experience.
for that moment,
it becomes Us.
And when WE
reflect
what changes
is within
and
what changes
becomes US.

think about
it.
we exist
in a domain
of many
many
parallels.
one changes.
if WE are the whole
then by
one changing
WE change.

but

what changes US?
we change US
as
one changes
as
WE see
the world anew.

experience by one
becomes
the experience
of many.
it is
by this
that WE
come from one.

WE
exist
as
parallel
ones.

poetry?! what for.

poetry.
seriously.
I know it
seems absurd.
It's not the
point to
be obscure.

When we read a poem,
line by line,
we experience.

As we read,
we experience.

What we read
has been crafted,
and as we read,
we experience
the crafted.

Poetry--
art--
music!
is a craft
of experience.

They are;
they exist
only
to be felt,
to be read.

cursed pirate.
pirate cursed.

What we experience
depends on
the sequence
of those experiences.

Watching a movie
backwards
is not the same as
watching it forward.

Hearing a song
backwards
is not the same as
hearing it forward.

Seeing a Picasso,
then seeing a Warhol
is not the same as
seeing a Warhol
then seeing a Picasso.

As an aside,
modern art seems
pretentious
because sometimes
it is constructed
to be viewed
after having viewed
and thought about
a certain set of art.
If we have not
viewed
and
thought about
that art
then modern art
will not be experienced
in the same way.

After reading
Harry Potter
the Bible
will never read
the same way again.

Thus,
flow.
As you read,
attend experience.
Realize it.
Wherever you go,
appreciate it.

Let one idea
carry over
to the next.

jump

jump.
help me jump.
Lift my legs,
I will reach for the sky.
It doesn't make much sense, though.
y'know,
how I've asked you
to help me
jump,
since it's not really
what you can
help me with.
Next time,
I'll think of something
you can.

lap top vort ex

don't forget the foreign n n n

this importent might
what others find insane
to a will musically

a thought recalled

collapsing structures
falling away.
leaving nothing
beneath my feet.
Suspended by arms
taught and strong
for the better of humanity.
at least, that's what I think happened.
oft clarity strikes
but
it's not up to me
how I remember.
and
when I remember.
let the branches fall
where they may.

poh-ahem high-coup. hapax.

it is frustrating
over these hills and these streets
to keep reception

traveled introductions

stretched fabric
over fabric
create aesthetics
to my sound

thinned again
and again
skin over bone

how're glass
beads
streamed in
lines
to count
living corpses
corpsing about
with their
witty hair
and
crossed fingers
dancing.

still dancing
atleast inside.
insofaras within
i mean
what gathers
tends to dance
like and by motion
swirling swirling motion
pushes me to act.
