Raw or cooked, the agents I mean? Hosannah, I'm connected again!!
I'm going to post that poem I wrote after your post beginning "Everything is conservative..." It was your post plus Instant Dreams, a movie about Polaroid cameras and the oddballs who still use them, write histories of them, try to re=invent it (formula is lost) that made it.
Then I was going to confess that I live in what is, essentially, a southern mansion on the Guadelupe River. Hint: Bob Dylan's Idiot Wind "I can't help it if I'm lucky" So I think you mentioned being connected to nature, and certainly I am, if living in a deer park counts. And skunks and snakes but they keep to the river bank, mostly. Lots of turtles.**
My poem is not about that.
Human commodities
disdained into alienation
disclaimed in laborious solitude
restrained by horse-hide whips
of the multitudes, beatific hermaphrodites
struggle through the streams
of a digital dark age
past the edges of empathy
lifted out of sin by sequential angels.
Particles cut off
are painted with ashes,
prayed into dust.
The dance of the instant,
spirits of off-chance slavery
sing with severed tongues.
These offerings of contradiction
empiricist feuds fueled by spite
hegemonic demons claw back
with metallic arguments.
Dictated nerves cry out
salvation in a pin-hole
where orbital eclipses
dismember and calculate.
Clattering madness
of indivisible veins opened
for penetration by cooling
underground delight
finite and so bright.
**************************************************************
but today at was at a different house, the one in Austin where I grew up, where I saw my father die and where my son died about 10 feet away 47 years later. clearing it out so developers in Central Austin can have a bidding war to buy it and demolish it and build what goes for a 21st century mansion. My parents raised 4 kids and then me in a 2 bedroom "bungalow" is the nice term the realtors use. My grandfather and an uncle built it. No nature there just family history thick as pythons as in a Tarzan movie.
************************* so, bring it nack to the subject of the thread, that was my cut-up day, how was yours? Anybody can answer.
