LET
THE JEWS WIN PART TWO
1.
Once,
in detention at school, and aged only 15, I wrote an essay about a
green parrot sent to space through the conch. The teacher, an
Irishman, read my colourful and imaginative essay and said “if you
keep going like that you’ll go far,” but I haven’t kept up the
nimble flight.
I
have moved on to further pieces. To send a parrot to space through
the conch was, I suspect, a narrative device, and the situation of my
being detained in detention at
the moment of writing was
the key point, for as Ted Hughes might say, a visionary can still be
free in his cell… there is freedom born from accepting limitation
even as I write this now.
2.
If
you think I’m a genius for all that I
went through,
(which
you can read of in, for example, Let
The Jews Win),
my
little brother James
P D Tucker is
a genius too
–
he designed the sheet where pictures grew. Admittedly the pictures
seem to depict the lyric to one of my songs – but I concede it is
not mine. I did not lay it down. I
did not design it.
3. James designed the new da Vinci circle as follows:
@
<BEE> [long squiggle]
Infinity Symbol
The new da Vinci circle is a discrete system containing the international language alphabet in 4 Points of Difference. It not only suggests <BEE> might soon ensue from @ in the international language alphabet but by incorporating a long squiggle, hopefully and ideally escapes “every word in every order” as a new super-computer can by no doubt organise.
4. I think it a brilliant piece of work. James had also made a previous document, with some deliberately-imperfectly-quoted Badly Drawn Boy lyrics about the power of the sun rendered in an anti-clockwise spiral like a word-sunflower:
sunshine inside of you
old sun warm sun
spreads over you
soliel all over you.
He left the two documents meaning the <BEE> one and the flower one to rot on the upturned box we used as a table in the den in the barn. I think there was also a picture of the upturned box itself, with candles on, turned face down, on the reverse side of one of the two documents as if the whole thing were the new da Vinci circle, as if, that is, any part is a model of the whole.
5. You get that heat rises… so maybe with the upturned box with all its candles and wine bottle candle sticks drawn on the underside of one of the sheets, heat would start to rise through the paper.
6. I went down to the den in the barn and read them and at first couldn’t see the <BEE> one. We don’t know why this is but I saw a tabular arrangement of signs in boxes on the <BEE> sheet. It was like the Periodic Table except with the characters of the international language alphabet laid bare, a sign per box. One was [backward f, forward f, equals running through.]
7. Backward f, forward f, equals running through could stand for “fish.” But who augmented the present paper with that touch? It was the main man himself, my brother, upstairs, sneezing while plugged into the same synchronicity as me, the same new co-imagination, the same sympathy. As he sneezed I heard the word “fish.” Anyhow, you can trust me that the international language alphabet as I read it was beautiful, and yet it turned out just a layer of pentimento in the parsimonious palimpsest.
8. I was impressed, and left it alone. But going back down to the barn to reread James’s imaginary alphabet or whatever I thought it was found the <BEE> document as James initially drew it – and couldn’t find the tabular arrangement of signs in boxes anywhere.
9. Again I left it alone, and some time later when our dad had just passed I went down to the barn another time and found the Badly Drawn Boy sheet had by now grown pictures. They seem to represent the lyric to a song I wrote going
I’m the only one left,
left to shoot my own gun,
this is the dead land,
crack a smile and curse the sun.
It’s
not possible to curse the sun. The sun is a nuclear furnace burning
in ecstasy miles away.
10.
The
pictures never got as far as the chorus. The
song was never intended as a literal curse either. The bit you
would’ve thought was the curse bit, coming after “crack a smile
and curse the sun,” was actually written before the verse. I wrote
the chorus first that is, and then the verse, and was just trying to
make it rhyme too. What may be true about the song is that it
represents the sublimation of The Lords And The New Creatures
into a singular, pronominal act of Romantic, first person lyricism or
‘I’.
11. There are also two blue ones… the ones depicting the song are petrol negative mud Cola brown but the blue ones are a fat, greedy, Tory pig on the left and a calm, placid face on the right. This made me wonder if I had written theory, for it to happen, for at the solar eclipse with Paul, after guzzling too much LSD the night before, and during the solar eclipse itself, I wrote in the road book “Every Atom Ate Our Eyes.” Not long after, writing about the face of stars in a poem called ‘An Inward Prayer,’ I wrote “Blessed is peace as blessed is ‘F**K!’” Still, this would take away from James’s genius. He seems to have harnessed Einstein’s cosmological constant ‘c’ as an author.
12.
So
anyhow,
I
g-a-v-e the document to James, who laid it down so must still own it.
Truth
be told we haven’t conversed over the matter much
but
I think if
he was using
‘c’ as in Einstein’s value for light-speed as an author it
is super-genius.
Not
only that but I would say as he would say that it was because he
wrote “sunshine inside
of you” that it worked. It was all about what’s inside.
13.
Some
of my songs were organised according to the new da Vinci circle for
the songbook Soundcloud
Rain.
It’s why I am not free to redo them as something like The
New Oedipus Wrecks Gig,
because we deem they are already wheat. I
might be wrong about the sheet, meanwhile, but at least I gave it a
go, comprehending the surprise.
14.
And
that is what I made of it, regarding the narrative of how it all
happened – but there is something else I realised since which I am
not saying. And it worked because the sun is golden. And this has
been a golden trance. A golden trance that is good to beholden. And
now I should put it on my Blog with the science.
15.
Truth
be told, I
don’t really know what happened with the sheet where pictures grew
nor is it my business to say because it is my brother’s work. I
shall just impart that with experiments in the international language
alphabet I found a good womb for my writing for once… and b/t/w/
who wrote Simulations
of God?
If you look in, say, the volume Yes
You May
you find plenty of beautiful-minded ideas for inventions mine own,
but
the sheet was not mine, was my brother’s and is. I don’t mean to
give things away and am being a bit bait so should keep shtum. The
sheet is a piece of genius by my brother. It
goes nicely with the maths of the new colour as a cellular mark which
affected my forearm. They make a nice pair.
16.
I can prove to you that this is James’s number or at least that it
is not mine own. All you would need to do is look at the lyrics from
Oedipus Wrecks, whose song it was that the pictures that grew seem
to depict
– for then you shall see it was not my game – that it was a case
of the international language alphabet – the
bee going to the flower too.
You shall see that at that particular moment in time, way
back when
the song was written, my game was the face. I had led my friends to
the face. All
you would need to do to read them is look in the volume Yes
You May…
for I don’t wish to replicate them herein because of impropriety.
I
was a recalcitrant
15
year old renegade,
reacting to the world, into bands like Nirvana and the Doors, mostly
just trying to shock, rather than shock with truth. Maybe I should
still present them though? The thing is, I believe that even if they
were instructive in the coming into being of the sheet the final vote
as to whether or not the Oedipus Wrecks lyrics are posited should go
to my brother, and I believe he would say ‘no.’ He would say it
jeopardises the sense of tidy and diligent scholarship that is
developing.
17.
I’ve
asked my friendly A. I. co-pilot some strange questions recently:
what would John Nash make of the face of stars? Of September 11th?
Of the alignment? Can the maths of the new colour, even if it didn’t
work, be instrumental in finding a cure for cancer?
Well,
to the latter it said the new colour is a metaphor for the cure; and
more to the point I also asked it for
an equation for the ratio between light speed falling and gravity
pulling on the sheet where pictures grew. It
didn’t come up with anything spectacular. Maybe the answer to what
“c over G” really equals is “backward f, forward f, equals
running through.”
18.
So it is I think <BEE> could be a mode to drift off on; and the
reason we knew Bigtime for sure. It is specious that we don’t know
if <BEE> is real or not, because without it we wouldn’t be
able to have such pow-wows of telepathic proportions, such
connectivity, such synchronicity. Overall
I would say James’s doodle of the bee and the flower – which go
together – is something as good as the Fibonacci sequence, and
should be treasured, even if it isn’t quite enough for a system to
live by.
19.
As
I have stated elsewhere, I
heard that I would’ve had a Nobel Prize for Let
The Jews Win,
which was comprised of ‘Notebook’ and ‘Flagrant Rapscallion’
had it not been for the Acknowledgements page where I acknowledged
the help of my brother and mum – because it then looked like I was
being fraudulent. I would say it’s the other way round and in
acknowledging help, for even top Professors get help, I was not
being fraudulent. The reason it was like it was, with the first poem
‘Notebook’ belonging to me and the second spiritually belonging
to Mr. James P D – even if the writing was mine own – was
fairness. As I have said we divided things evenly and for parity
using his <BEE>. Such
activity may be instructive in international relations too. If
different countries could be as close to each other as my brother and
I can be at times, there would be no war. If language is a problem,
then that is where <BEE> comes in handy, for representing only
the next character along in the international language alphabet after
@.
20.
The game of rounders is a classic game because both the boys and the
girls can get involved at the same time. I remember playing rounders
at Harecroft Hall on smouldering evenings in the summer terms, with
the girls as well as the boys, and feeling like I should make a
diving catch, or anything to impress the girls. We would get our
sleeves rolled up, as far as I can remember, but without changing
into sporting gear, just normal school uniform.
21.
The reason I cannot present this paper with a photograph of the sheet
where pictures grew online
is
that the sheet is not mine, and also I have been advised to no longer
posit my
photo of it
on the
net.
Instead, then, we might
select a photo of
a flower that is utterly devoid of inimical traits; for after all I
believe my brother made the initial experiment for a lass called
Flora. You might even argue that it was a post-poem.
22.
Society bounds in circles round and round the sun, as
said
my father. He also said it was a prisoner planet, earth, and, almost
like an ascetic, that the key to redemption was self-punishment. That
may have meant work but also may have meant denying ourselves. They
do say the key to growing up and growing well-adjusted too is the
postponement of temporary pleasure for the sake of attaining long
term goals. Whatever the case, in the middle of it all, there are
pockets of sanity, as John Cleese said, and holes in the wall as
Huxley said, and moments of genius stolen from Infinity too. My
brother’s sheet is a piece of genius in among it all, is something
remarkable that I think I should remark on, as I celebrate him and
what he has achieved.
23.
Now for the insect collection. Now for several weird species of
insect crawling from severed telephone cable. For this I can copy and
paste in some joke equations that only work for the arty farty…
24.
I
had
a song when I was 15 about
a little bet that the next guy after me to attain the face will still
write the line I wrote about it at the time and think it his or maybe
even her own:
________________________
25.
I
shouldn’t state
my
equation for dreaming about Flora whom
it would seem was the mating queen from the green pages in the flesh,
that I now renounce…
__________________________
26.
Even though I am repeating myself, here
as
well is
my equation for being the neo-Rimbaud whom it would seem deemed it
love:
“Her
breath a poisonous magic.”
27.
I
am not in the position to relate, say, an equation for water’s
effect on water, but can repeat
that H
does not = 0 – 0 because I have a heart, and
also that E
minus MC squared = only relative zero too.
28.
By now my
equation for the alignment of the Plough and the oldest fell Black
Combe is
the
way the qwerty keyboard ends on M:
QWERTYUIOP
ASDFGHJKL
ZXCVBNM
29.
and
my
equation for hanging my coat on a primary school wall a
long time ago in the capital as
if to start again is:
+
x ½ = –
30.
Here
moreover,
is
my equation for the healing and fusing of the cassette
tape
with a pause in the song where cut and stuck together in the flimsy
reel:
H
= t
times Pi.
31.
Here
is my equation for the Ratio between light speed (c) falling and
Gravity (G) pulling on my brother James P D’s sheet where pictures
grew:
c/
G does not equal G/ c.
32.
But
as stated, I
would actually, in
all academic seriousness,
say though, that “c over
G,” if it had to equal something, would equal “backward f,
forward f, equals running through.” This
can be accessed on the Pyramid walls, even in dreamwork.
33.
Also
of note, here
is my equation for turning pain into pleasure:
Dog
= Pi
times MC
squared.
34.
Now
I deem it we are back round to that false notion with which I
started, a long time ago. So, here
is my equation
for
the idea that if the
Gravity between the earth and the moon is instant and therefore
enough to break Lightspeed, a clock is still only as fast as a
cheetah:
G
= c times t
and
if
G = c times t,
I have to express what t = and might be wrong in saying
t
= c divided by G
and
might be wrong in saying t = 0.
That
is after all to employ my faulty mathematics to falsify it in numbers
as well as words!
35.
I
might as well add that even
as we speak I
still
deem the word “entropy” spelled backwards to somehow
frame
the first, unformulated spark of appetency
in Nothingness preceding Creation. I
would spell it with a dot between each letter and say
y.
p. o. r. t. n. e. = 4
36.
E
= starbeams. Of all the joke equations it’s my favourite one
because it might be true. A star is a sun is a nuclear furnace is a
ray of light is energy beating down on a planet far away.
37. I imagine what it would be like
if a young boy wrote the line
“I have a scar+ that is green and blue,”
with a plus sign for the F,
and then counted up the numbers
from
one to his own age, say, seven.
38.
James and
I
once shared an ecstasy pill. I was in my gap year and went back to
school to visit him and we shared the pill. He later came up with the
phrase “half it and laugh it.” It reminds of the phrase “light
it and write it,” also “burn and unlearn.” We were froward in
those days but no longer. And by the way an E comedown has no value
in maths. I’d just been proven prophetic, even a savant, by
successfully predicting the Towers coming down to the day, and I
think that was around the time James designed the new da Vinci
circle. He even left crosses on the page to suggest where and when
things would happen. I
was
the reader but not the writer in that one. The
honour is all mine. To be that guy that read it during the process,
that discovered the sheet, is indeed an honour.
39.
I believe, looking back, that my dad knew in advance about the sheet,
that we would find it, or I would, when he died. For example he came
in once and said “don’t fill the drawer too full now John,”
also “James is the kind of guy to leave a cup of tea to cool and be
tipped out, like making an artistic statement.” He was onto it, and
was right. It
may not have been enough to get him into Heaven, for he still
believed in Heaven, but it certainly meant a valid work of art.
40.
I guess what I am trying to say is that if sadness is the musical key
of intelligence, as James and I seem to agree upon, then <BEE>
is the key of freedom. It shows us how the net might’ve been
different. It even digitalises Blake. I like <BEE> and want to
be in with it. I want myself to fly one day. I like working for the
mating queen from the green pages in the flesh, and having honey in
my herbal tea.
41.
In the end, I hear voices saying “we too don’t know what to do
with the sheet or if it is even your brother’s.” It shouldn’t
depend on whether or not I posit my teenage rock band lyrics in the
present file. But I don’t know if the pictures are burned by love;
or if their substance is dead light particles. I know that a photon
never ages but whether or not the pictures are dead light particles I
am not sure of. In the end I am in the dark. In matters across the
board I traditionally privilege uncertainty. I end on a note of
radical incertitude. I believe the beauty of uncertainties is the
only absolute. Mystery will remain a constant, as I said to the band
at the alignment. The universe is a very mysterious place. What is
indeterminacy in physics could be undecidability in art. There is
indeterminacy at the core of all things. In the end to be waiting in
the dark is not such a bad thing, is nourishing for the soul. It’s
good to expand your threshold of Negative Capability in the Keatsian
sense. I don’t even know if Lucy in the soul with demons happens to
be an actual substance. I
know I love my brother. I
know that if it scars him we should agree to leave out Oedipus
Wrecks. It
may not be fair on Flora and may not be fair on me if we do include
those lyrics and the end result is that they are pretty poor as to be
expected from a young teenager.
42.
Gilly
flowers curtsey, not off the sound-map.
To make a flower-press would be womanly.
When our days still ended on cannabis
we would bemoan that flowers were legal.
To the tune of the wind I sink, then swim.
I no longer puff the evil weed these days.
It would be a reward, a kind of dialysis,
that separates the murk from the excellence.
I would need it to balance out my mind,
one homeostatic device for another one.
Now I worry that I am hurried and florid.
I hear an A. E. I. O. U. bird toot its long,
hollow horn out on the A595 and relax.
I hear its wheels go round, that it’s heavy.
