remembering nothing, having forgotten

the text has lifted

(   ) fish is out of the water

the associations disintegrated

(   ) explanation is pointless

statement

statement made under solicited duress circa 2007 (?) [+2012]

poetry :side-effect to perceptively living a certain inadvertent way

words, phrasings are unique lingual-tactile signs left (un)intentionally throughout nature, culture, subjective contours. the seer and the seen are different perspectives of an ecstatically confused holism. that’s ok. that’s the challenge and the thrill of (re)discovery. it’s a matter of density (of perception) and destiny (of person-ness). perhaps

*remind: “it’s all been said      now to wake up and unsay it”

pilcrow :one of the oldest and least understood (and most under-used and overly abused) modalities that still may yet fuse the sciences and the humanities into a future fission, beyond the retinal and the conceptual. it’s a matter of shedding cultural accretion and embedding oneSelf in a unique other(ness). possibly

pilcrow :sometimes a necessary component in the liberation of humanity from it’s own illusory system of cages. sky, lake :mirror’d

                :is sometimes entertaining, but is never entertainment. sings the flowers out of earth, bees to nectar. posthumously written to celebrate {the} phenomen(on)/[a].  deascend

pilcrow :reveals and hides what it must or can…mode choice: stealth? whistle-blower? 

pilcrow :beside a tree falling in an uninhabited forest, a sutra unweaving itself aloud 23x +here ð

pilcrow :warp and woof confusing up with down woman for man profane for sacred animal for whoman. Y

poetry :the recycled, contradictory, clichéd serpent 

eating its potentially tempting lull-a-binary tale. yawn

Ben Litman

Ben was a student of mine, crazy beautiful with slanted intelligence and awkward talent hiding behind thick dirty glasses and adolescent  braces.  We often spoke about alternative music notations, occasionally trying ideas on multiple keyboards and guitars.  Unfortunately, this particular idea, using parallelograms to position notes, was one we never got a chance to try.  Ben lost his life in a house fire in Blackhawk, California, 2010.  He was 17.

May his soul ascend to the highest level of Godhead.
