THE
BLIT
Follidot,
once upon a time there were only four motley fridge magnet letter
jungle birds, called whitecrow, beckstub, chardud and stillwalker.
They
mingled on the fridge in
a state of chaos but
one day my brother set the whole mess in order when he designed the
new da Vinci circle:
@
<BEE>
[long squiggle]
Infinity
Symbol
Not
follidot is a rogobert, Rigobert
bot-getter.
Not
Flora is a princess of dialysis and motor.
Not
Lucy in the soul with demons may be an actual substance.
Not
I. T. might stand for Captain Marvel too.
Not
oceans, O over them we fly, we fly.
Not
the clock that got the rock to feel shock.
Not
the other whatnot bits and bobs but my brother.
Not
the Nirvana beercan, but the brother.
Loving
as we do that love is the answer.
The
law says it’s okay; but if you want to smoke green, you’ve got to
go to Amsterdam. Squeezyjet can get us there. Then
through the streets we will wander casting ad-libbed hippy
poetry
about neon chameleons into the breeze.
A
plane exists on 2 dimensions including Time.
A
pyramid exists on 4 dimensions including Time.
But
to turn a plane into a pyramid represents
only
a 1 dimensional step. Therein find extra
dimension
of the words “1 dimensional” meaning
stupid,
a dimension which could also
be
called a separate
plane.
And did I mention that I wanted to die?
Then
you get that the plane is a curve, because the world is round,
because the shape of spacetime is curved, because Gravity warps and
bends spacetime.
When
we got there, we
bought the monkeymoo from the Doors
cafe,
and got skunkosis. It’s a neologism from my father for my own
condition. He said GM skunk makes people feral. I
myself have added a few new words to the language as well.
Ounce upon a tome, a while ago,
I invented the word distractionary
to contain such neologisms
as comnambulism, meaning
online sleepwalking, as
funger meaning hunger for fun,
as filence meaning delicate speech,
as amazeballs to replace archaic ‘gay,’
as emocracy, meaning rule by emotion,
as agovernment, meaning
the opposite of government,
as gravitolution and evity
which might go without saying,
as co-imagination, as in to be
diagonalised by omnijective
interface of random access
co-imagination, which is not fun,
and I thought isness was another one,
as in music is penetration of isness,
but it was already done in Joyce,
whom it seems knew a lot of these,
and I have just recollected another,
not just “indwellable” meaning
the opposite of indomitable,
when it comes to cinema,
but the word entropy spelled backwards,
as if to frame the first, unformulated
spark of appetence in Nothingness, preceding
Creation, yet again, even though
the
universe was born in silence
not
appetence as far as we know.
While
we were in the Doors cafe, I thought I would boast a little bit about
my position. I told the proprietor “My
latest thinking, aged forty three, is that my father was positively
sponsored by some philosophers to provide the real, human witness
from The
Lords And The New Creatures
by Jim Morrison.” He
asked me if that was true and I said yes and told him a little bit
more about my life.
“Already
at
seven I am
said to have helped
invent the net: when the idea of the net needed storing in writing in
the attic here
at
the foot of the fell to give it a chance to grow all the way round
the world it was me that wrote it. By eight I had made not one but
two very strange Naturalistic Observations as
the witness.
By eleven I was marked by
the
maths of the new colour
as
was contained back in the book I wrote at seven (it
didn’t turn out to be the new colour in the end).
By fifteen I had attained the face of stars which might’ve been
scripted in the Bible. By eighteen, in 2000, I forewarned of
September 11th
and wrote the highest-marked English Literature A-level exam essay in
the nation at 100%. I
also predicted the hunt for the God Particle from looking at dust in
a late ray of light angling in and founded a new religion based on
the elephant.”
“After
school, to cut a long story short, I recorded an album on binaural
earphones with mates, had an effervescent mobile reverberating the
rhythm of ‘William Tell’ through every technological inlet in the
room before it rang, hosted the Plough alignment for a rhythm change
in the White House, got a First despite the onset of mental illness,
noticed
a sensory overlay of my name on Piper
At
The Gates of Dawn,
worked
at a numinous, purple-bleeding screen, built the Tower as an
instrument of philosophy, conducted an experiment into a tape with a
pause where cut and resealed in the flimsy reel, and
discovered
the sheet where pictures (seemingly depicting my own song lyric)
grew. Then
I falsified
the Nirvana barcode in writing and attained visual radio,
broadcasting dreams.”
All
of that then, that backstory was what lay at the @ function in the
<BEE> diagram. <BEE> is an attempt to progress forwards
from all that which lies at the @. It is as essential as anything I
have ever done workwise.
The
proprietor, of the Doors cafe, he
took
a photo of us together and got me to surrender my signature to a
document. In fact, he got me to sign his copy of The
Lords And The New You Know Who.
His
English was very good, so
good in fact that one needn’t learn Dutch in order to communicate.
He asked me if I was working on anything new, and I said I was
working on a Rimbaudian word-science notebook – an experiment into
the international language alphabet.

My
ex conceived of the dichotomy of “given-ness VS craft.” For her
what was given was akin to the freedom of automatic writing, as
opposed to laboriously slaving away over something. I took the idea
of given-ness to mean the exact opposite thing though, taking my cue
from The
Lords And The New Creatures
where “we are too content to accept the given in sensation’s
quest.” Interesting how the same word can have diametrically
opposing meanings for two young lovers.
The
oldest word in all languages of Indo-European etymological origin is
said to be “da.” It is in The
Waste Land
of course. It seems like a “monkey-unit” to me.
The
word that is said to be least changed in all languages since the dawn
of Man is the word for “water.” You can still just about hear its
similarity across different tongues, and picture people gathered
at
a well, people of all ethnic origins, sharing water, at the start.
My
undergraduate dissertation was an immanent, Kantian critique in
mimicking the
methodology of David
Morley’s series of findings into itself, into the concept of art
and science writing as a single discussion of perception. The
micro-analysis focussed on the line “the heart trammelled and
rammed on the anvil bleeds visions.” I worked out he was using the
anti-dactylus, two soft, one hard; and not only that but the stressed
syllables in that metrical pattern all rhymed on a short A. The
effect is kinetic; and there is invective monotony written into the
line’s musical configuration; but apart from that it is nameless,
nameless in all the array of hyper-specialised tools of sustained
critical micro-analysis.
For
the sake of tidiness, it
could be instructive to mention herein
that
there’s
a defaced

missing from my
last book
Let
The Jews Win,
about our retrieving the dog from the local
farm,
that
specifically goes
after ‘Dream With Open Eyes’ by Secret Chord H and before I mourn
the loss of E:
“One
night, we
were having a Scrotbag
Party
in the caravan. That means drinking and smoking. And suddenly I got a
preternatural sixth sense that the dog had run off and was trapped on
the fence at
the local farm barking.
So we walked up through the fields, our
tombstone-shadows looming tall beneath the moon in the church field;
and we found the terrible goat which was tied up in the triangular
patch of land past our field; and we noted how its eyes gleamed a
baleful green colour when a lone car passed; and we made it past the
terrible goat and to the farm where we indeed discovered Ossie the
dog trapped on the fence, barking. I was wearing a fur coat and had a
bottle opener in the pocket and used it to cut the dog free. Then we
made it back to ours and told the dog he was a bad boy for running
off and continued with our Scrotbag
Party.”
The
name John F B Tucker might be a mini, Shakespearean poem.
For
that I have to thank my dad, who concluded one of his poems with the
words “Hamlet in flames.”

“Words,

persons. Words are also a great bandwagon of falsity we must presume
is not false in order to make life easier. Words are, well, ONLY
words.”

is a machine that can put every word in every order, which is now not

Squillegybob says:
“The

could be an infradiegetic heterotopia pertaining to panchronic,
panoramic overview like a chronotope turned euchronia, unless this
represents a word-world gone polysemic with the multifarious
possibilities of hermeneutic autonomy through whom the esemplastic

“Shall
we go to the Pink Floyd cafe next?” I asked.
So
we went.
The
word “went” is not past participle of the verb “to go”
originally, but the verb “to wend.” It is thus a fossil; and
language is full of them, fossils, coins, corruptions, dead metaphors
the brain is built of, ossifications, word-shades, word-frequencies,
ghost-vowels, consonantal masses.
The
English language is worth billions of pounds, the creative industries
second only to the financial markets for bringing in wealth.

We
went to the Pink Floyd coffee shop and again I started to boast. “I
was once in a band called The Flood,” I said, “in Syd Barrett’s
hometown, Cambridge. We recorded only on state of the art binaural
earphones laid on the floor, broke the ancient silence that way, were
badass as Hella and Shellac. I climbed up on the album and said I was
going to plug my senses in the mains. Our music was dark music as in
dark matter. We even encrypted a node in musical truth without any
words.”

So
I told him that Piper
At The Gates of Dawn
is transmitted as well as genes; that when I made an experiment into
the maths of the new colour as
a boy it
was very Syd Barrett in a way. I
told
him “my
boyhood book went wrong when I tried the maths of the new colour.”
I
also told him it still made an interesting E and an interesting F for
the international language alphabet.
“I
see I am going to have to delimit something about that
experiment therefore,”
I
said and told him all about the + sign I put in for the F of scar+ in
the boyhood book.
I
told him that the original Barrett book, where I tried the maths, had
now been stolen, and we had the <BEE> experiment, my brother’s
sheet where pictures grew, that is, to replace it. I
said
the Barrett-child document
was old-fashioned compared with <BEE>. It was time to move on.
It was time to accept that the boyhood book was if not outmoded
technology – for writing is technology – but not the latest
thing. If I wasn’t going to make something of <BEE> then I
would be an outmoded songbird.
The
proprietor started to laugh at my Barrett-maths, and was in paroxysms
over it. He was after all high. We used to smoke weed like it was a
magical sacrament, and a self-legitimising pact developed round the
stoner circle. We were trying to get sober from the advertising
trance, abjure a worthless dogma to consumerism that robbed us of our
bodies, renounce fidelity to surface-gods of illusion and to temporal
wealth.

“Well
you can’t just talk nonsense and claim it is arcane experimentation
into the international language alphabet,” he said. So I tried to
explain to him the beauty of <BEE>. “There was a time,” I
said, “when my dad died that my seven year old book was still in
the attic, for long storage, and meanwhile down the barn my brother’s
<BEE> experiment had resulted in the sheet where pictures
grew.” I
told him that at the same moment in time, my book was allowed out of
Long Storage and my brother’s sheet where pictures grew came true.
He
asked me to explain the sheet where pictures grew so I told him.
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.
If
you think I’m a genius for all that I
went through,
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.]
Backward f, forward f, equals running through could stand for “fish.” But who augmented the 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. 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.
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.
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.
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’.
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 ‘FUCK!’” Still, this would take away from James’s genius. He harnessed Einstein’s cosmological constant ‘c’ as an author. It was him. It wasn’t me.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
The
man at the Pink Floyd cafe said he could see the succession and
evolution of signs going on. He said he could see that my own book
from seven years old had suddenly already served its purpose, was
surplus to requirements, would essentially go bust and give way to my
brother’s <BEE>. I told him that is exactly what was
happening, that my work already did
its long storage and <BEE> had taken over, was in fact the
future. He asked me what I was going to do about it and I said
hopefully make a word-science piece all about the succession of
ideas. He asked me what I meant by word-science and I told him it was
about applying pressure to language, stretching language to its
elastic utmost to see what would happen.
I
read in The
New Scientist that
we developed language on the basis of meat; that we grew our brains
by eating meat; that we then needed to spread information about
farming, hunting, killing, cooking
and eating meat – so developed language.
One
of my Professors, Prof. John Schad of Lancaster University, says
“language speaks Man.”
Another,
Professor David Morley of
Warwick University,
says “language is a word-world where words are a species.”
My
friend Paul the poet and I think that “language is the emotional
condom of the world.”
Part
of that is that the pre-verbal, the thought-pattern, when translated
into words, via the mechanics of meaning, always represents a
dilution.

Professor

the condition of being a text can extend to any object
(2)
the condition of being a language unto itself can extend to any

In
the meantime, after
we had smoked ourselves slow,
we decided against getting any more monkeymoo, and came home by
Squeezyjet to Manchester Airport. The
plane ride was high dizzy whiteness crammed in an air conditioned
package. Some
one went in the toilet for a smoke, thought the smoke detector was an
extractor fan and started blowing smoke into it! It
set a little alarm off, and the
air
hostess said he had
to put it out. When
we landed we
picked up the car where
we
left it in the long stay and drove back to our
house at the
foot of Black Combe.
An
interlocutor picked up my hands while I was at the screen and got me
to type:
He
found himself on a plane.
He
found himself on a.
He
found himself on.
He
found himself.
He
found.
P.
But
what “P” means we do not know. Wittgenstein for example would
say:
P
= ~ ~ P.
The
poet
at the limit braves
death to bring back intelligence from beyond.
I
think there can be no more strange a transaction you make with
yourself than deciding to be a poet.
Not
that it is a conscious or image-conscious decision – for very often
it chooses you.
Just
that my soul is more plush and strange
and luxurious
than if I were not a poet.
The
poet keeps the sacred fire of the heart alive.
The
poet delights in a wilful opacity, bats, black magnets, firking,
encryption, code, symbolism to attain the condition of verse.
The
poet can even extirpate every trace of recognition from the myriad
mind, unloose the mind of form, method-act every adjective in ‘Howl’
to attain visual radio, broadcasting dreams that
billow like a weeping willow in the wind.
There
were details of my own life story I had missed out back
in the Doors coffee shop.
The
holographic horsecock wheeled into the bedroom. The bandage that
vanished from my head as I sat still in a hospital chair. Skywriting
at the Secret Garden Party sent by people from the future state. The
way only my tent was utterly covered with birdshit in the morning and
no other tent was remotely defiled in a field where you couldn’t
even fit another tent. Or
the single, little-fingernail clipping arrived between my bottom
front teeth like a female e-mail. Or
the
pint
glass exploded from thin air as had also occurred to someone else at
the face of stars. Or
BACKPASS
ATTEMPTED instead of NO MONEY on the Oyster card reader on the East
End bus.
And
after the sheet where pictures grew, came a blissful inscape of
wings, and after the inscape of wings, visual radio indeed.
In
the movie Pi
the protagonist is a mathematician that has God’s name and its
syntax embedded in his head and is therefore chased by people wishing
to control the Stock Market and religious fanatics alike. He ends up
attaining the simplicity the other side of the enormously complex,
just sitting there gazing at a tree with the sun in it and the wind,
as if to be endlessly inveigled by the delicate, vein’d
instructions on a leaf.
Leaves that played on the surface of the water,
these are the leaves they have in Heaven,
these
are the leaves of love.
Once,
I
lay back on my bed and just stared at the light on the ceiling,
wearing as it was its paper lightshade; and in the lightshade I
started to see an ecstatic medley of maths. I took notes on it but it
moved too fast and I didn’t get most of it down but I got some of
it down to give you a flavour of what it was like. I
shan’t replicate it here but it did say 4025 is 2058.
After
I turned out the light that
night I
couldn’t sleep so flicked the switch again and sat up reading
Descartes. By chance I stumbled upon a passage where he said we must
even doubt mathematical demonstrations. He was saying we need to
doubt everything before we can begin to know, and this included the
reliability of sensory data and as I say mathematical demonstrations
too. Descartes
seemed particularly brilliant… but Cartesian doubt seemed an effort
of the will. I didn’t follow or buy his reasoning either,
when
he deemed it that he had proven God, (which I believe is the
ontological as opposed to cosmological or teleological argument) but
as I say he was still brilliant.
When
I read Descartes on Perfection and turn inward my own eye to
investigate, I glimpse a perfect, inner judge whose concerns are
grammatical.
Instead
of Cartesian doubt applied to every preconception, I applied Tyler
Durton from Fight
Club’s
philosophy, where he makes you go to Rock Bottom and face your fears
and find out what you really wanted to do with
your life and
do it. When I asked myself what I wanted to be I was in the midst of
several files that stretched across the board, in terms of discipline
boundaries, so
the answer could’ve been poet, philosopher, musician, scientist,
and
in that moment I decided I wanted to be A
Beautiful Mind,
which is another film, as opposed to Jim Morrison from The
Doors
film I suppose. I stayed up reading Descartes until dawn.
In
the end I got some sleep and dreamed of the dream-book in the
undersea below. I am a dreamworker, b/t/w/, who has tried to smuggle
language out of the unconscious; and I have grown convinced there is
a book in the undersea of dreams. Once I flew to the Isle of Man to
pick
up a poem collection the shape of a remote control and made of
chocolate from a white, garden table. Another time, the dream text
was signed three times by Einstein’s value for light-speed c.
Another time I held the book in my hands and it was a mate who had
written it, and I read it, and it was genius, full
of pretty spirals, oneiric-textured dreamwriting and liminal phrases.
Maybe
our best work remains lost on sleep’s crumbling biscuit shore.
<BEE>
got lost in the flo,’
o’
er the ocean of green,
extracting
pollen from flowers,
to
make honey, for the mating queen.
Anyhow
I heard it said
that
poetry is dead.
Conceptualism
and Flarf
don’t
make me laugh.
For
I am the witness
who
lost to the fitness.
So
I think there is more
behind
a closed door.
There
needs to be hope.
Without
hope the heart cannot survive.
Love,
which is a choice of words,
could
also be said to be that hope
that
the heart literally needs
in
order for it to survive
without
which it can stop.
For
you can die of a broken heart.
Surprisingly
quiet when it falls at our feet,
the
great, hulking, mammoth universe…
it’s
hardly a delicate flower, petite
and
everything
in it
is
mending
worse.
Have
you ever noticed that rain at the window is typing?
That
it’s staccato?
That
it sounds like fingertips at a type writer or qwerty keyboard?
That
the frigid fingers are scattershot-logical in their permutations?
I
think we might be working on the same book!
I
was young and now I’m not,
and
look about – what have I got?
I
am skint, single, unemployed,
mentally
ill, medicated, paranoid,
car-less,
living with my mum,
and
all this time to have my bum
parked
on a seat, but what of luck?
I
think the Gods don’t give a fuck!
Anyhow
by now single is my jingle
so
please God let it still tingle!
I
feel I have been cut out of a loop
and
am still coming down from brain soup!
I
don’t watch films anymore, nor
follow
the football much.
All
the old props
have
fallen away.
Here
in winter’s
long,
dark tunnel
find
me, waiting, hoping
for
a brighter day…
Abladobbabong,
goograiny.
Appladoxy,
polyformic.
The
other Aphex Twin I am not
but
speak of gootmocker bitumin the same.
Wumadumabong,
bong-crastic.
Bongtafficate,
bongsplastica.
Bong
ding dong doolally.
Bongdong,
bong bastardly.
Anyhow,
tonight I woke up at about 3 AM, after a beautiful dream of having a
little baby girl with my ex. I came downstairs and James came from
his room and followed me downstairs. It was his turn to say “I woke
up at 1 o’ clock.”
They
say the attempted maths of the new colour is in key and in keeping
with the maths that stored the idea of the net in writing in the
attic to
give it a chance to grow all the way round the world –
that it just followed on – that things didn’t go wrong when I did
it - and they also say that it required my brother. The original poem
with the + sign for the ‘f’ is about feeling horribly guilty for
hitting him one time when he refused to play Lego with me. It’s
the only time I really hit anyone and I learned then that violence is
wrong and that I love my brother dearly. If we got separated when I
soon enough had to go through the wood, I hope we are teamed up
again.
My
brother – dad said he even dreams creatively; that still waters run
deep. James says, in allusion to the new da Vinci circle, that “a
dog is a dog is a dog is a dog.” What
a saying, what a fair equator! What a way of vocalising the new da
Vinci circle!
At
some point <BEE> leads to c, and that is Einstein’s
“cosmological Constant,” his value for light speed. Understanding
this, I recognise I still don’t know everything there is to know
about the sheet where pictures grew.
We
worked together as a team, my brother and I, and my mother too, when
we brought out the as yet only
six
collections with Chipmunka. I am the one with the name on the front,
through whom everyone goes, the mouth-piece, the frontman, but we are
attuned to the same moment, the same co-imagination.
The
<BEE> one was good, meaning
Soundcloud
Rain,
just
songs structured on the new da Vinci circle, but
the About The Author section showed I still didn’t know what I had
gone through as a boy.
The
Sunset
Child,
my boyhood
book, worked, back
in the day, if
inventing the net was the efficacy, but
not knowing that, I sold it to you as the homework of the witness
from The
Lords And The New Creatures.
The
love poem book Breath
Trapped In Heaven
said
“stop the war,” letting
all else but love fall away, but
there was no happy family at the end of it.
Brave
New Tense
looked at the condition of water at the foot of the fell in terms of
a contract on universal human rights – or
something like that.
It
was about writing off the top of the head to discretely “do the
beck” in the back garden here where the Plough alignment is viable,
but
it only meant Long Foot Disease.
Yes
You May
was about not using force. I
did it with my sister who is born on the 25th
May. I
think she was trying to say “it’s so bad you’re charging too
much.”
And
then
we had
Let
The Jews Win
– and
it worked…
it
preceded a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. As if the poet truly
is the unacknowledged legislator of the world. So it didn’t matter
that it repeated a few bits and bobs of my extant oeuvre because the
point was peace.
06.
33. Repeat my proposition. Maths is the language of Nature. But now I
am echoing the man from the movie Pi.
I keep thinking there is something more to learn from my brother’s
work – or mine own – and that it is to do with maths –
something as beautiful and lasting as the Fibonacci sequence – but
I can’t quite pin it down. Actually, it’s Dr. Bob, my second
brother, who is trying to invent A. I. that teaches maths to
children, also looking for a pattern in the Stock Market. He
has his own company and works in computing. James meanwhile is trying
to write a sci-fi epic set over 1000 years in space.
Normally
I know what I’m doing
when
I get up early in the morning
but
today I haven’t a clue
what
it is I’m trying to do.
The
one with the maths is enough.
The
one with enough is an eagle.
Although
my life has been tough
I
still come out good as Smigel.
08.
27 AM. I’ve been back to a previous file from a couple of years
ago, a paper on the maths of the new colour. This <BEE>
document is better but there might be one or two things from the
former paper to factor in. There were flighty, speculative bits –
joke equations! A poor impression of A Beautiful Mind!
I
had
a song when I was 15 about
a little bet that the next guy after me to attain the face of stars
will still write the line I wrote about it at the time and think it
his or maybe even her own:
________________________
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…
__________________________
Here
as
well is
my equation for being the neo-Rimbaud whom it would seem deemed it
love:
Her
breath a poisonous magic.
I
do know Professor Morley’s equations for water’s effect on water
but can not say. I can say however that H
does not = 0 – 0 because I have a heart. I can also say that E
minus MC squared = only relative 0.
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
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 = –
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.
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.
Also
of note, here
is my equation for turning pain into pleasure:
Dog
= Pi
times MC
squared.
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!
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 appetence in Nothingness preceding
Creation. I
would spell it with a dot between each letter and say
y.
p. o. r. t. n. e. = 4
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.
08.
42. If only I could win my brother the Nobel Prize. He’s already
had the Snowbell Prize foreseen in Flora’s eyes. Technically
speaking, according to Granny, I am to get the academic success and
James the women – but he’s even done the sheet where pictures
grew. He’s removed competition!
It was for Flora that James designed the sheet where pictures grew. She’s beautiful, the mating queen from the green pages in the flesh, an evergreen light I must abjure, as I abjure nursing the suffering of my ideals. Put another way she is a transcendent signifier, a blind, metaphysical objective which I can only renounce, as I learn the falsehood of my own opinions, journey from idealism to pragmatism, temper the wild, impassion’d and Romantic proclivities of my temperament.
If
I may but say one more thing it is that I even made the Nirvana
barcode to be but the beat of ‘Scentless Apprentice’ by Nirvana
tapped out in approximate barcode shape using the tool of the qwerty
keyboard as in
||
| |||| | || | |||| 909
& 693 are wings
and
threw it on the sitting room fire here at the foot of the fell as if
to falsify the figment, the
fallacy,
fully, and have my mother photograph it burning on
her Smartphone too.
Let’s
just say, it
remains to be seen what would happen if some young sprog who
takes care of Einstein’s E in
a particular way came
by himself to
write:
“I
have a scar+ that is the new colour.”
It
may be that no mark would be left at all.
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.
*ketamineguitar*
“What’s the most obvious donk around you
and how many donks deep
and did the donk descend
to get to the donk on the end of it?”
These lines were written on a train,
stoned, newly stoned, coming
back from town with a stash
to the foot of the oldest fell.
Looking around me now
I see the kitchen, and do not miss
stoner life, going out in the rain to score,
begging a tenner off your neighbour.
And the writing that came hand in hand -
it was no better, only seemed good
because of the effect, even the line
“ride the wave of paranoia.”
Writing stoned can make you
write things that are untrue,
misremember half-formed things,
give
the wrong impression entirely.
I
write for many reasons. To heal the soul of the world, and my self
first and foremost. To modulate mood in mental illness. Because
writing is freedom. For approval and affirmation. Because writing is
an experiment into more advanced modes of being. To sound out the
sights that have been seen. Because it is a Hobby. Because it is a
dream. Because since the age of four, it has been my ambition to be a
writer. Because it’s the only thing I was good at during school.
Because you should do what you’re good at. Because light might be
attained.
You
should never talk about Jim Morrison’s book with a pregnant woman.
Even if you are making polite conversation about biology. This hangs
heavy on my soul. Sometimes I curse my luck, curse the situation into
which I was born. At other times I am asked to see the triumph over
those that would wish to monopolise evolution, but I think what I
went through was evil and don’t wish to talk about it again. Even
if I have now got all the right answers, for papers.
I
can’t believe I am hearing it but apparently I might still go to
prison for speaking against September 11th
in the year 2000 when, as a schoolboy, my brother asked me what I
thought of the plot of the movie Fight
Club.
I think the world has become a very sick place driven by
technological advance and profit and there needs to be a Revolution
in the arts like in 1960’s. But I only say this because something
needs to be said. I might have done better saying “children like
yellow crayons.” But I thought I’d keep it to an adult theme. I
was asleep when the Towers came down, at least the first one; and
when the Towers still come down even though you have spoken against
it, it means you were raped. This happened to me. I was raped and it
manifested as a burning feeling in the psyche and when I suppressed
it, I lost all contact with my prescient speech from 2000. To this
day I don’t why I was prescient but it happened on several fronts
across the board.
I
also wish to go down as a genius and a hero, like Wittgenstein
wanted. Helping invent the net was one thing, and taking care of The
Lords And The New You Know Who
another. Affecting my own evolution, even if it be but a thin, slight
stripe up the underside, through maths, is another. Attaining the
face of stars is another. The story went on and
on but
have you seen him recently? He’s drugged up to his eyeballs on
medication, can’t get an erection let alone ejaculate, has the
massive bushy beard of a philosopher, going grey, has become fat, and
has the bewildered stare of beyond in his mad eyes. And he’s being
watched and doesn’t feel like a satisfying book has been written
about it all yet.
Maybe
one day, eh?
I’d
actually like to write a fiction about a guy called Jack Costello.
Once upon a time, in the happy world of Haribo, Jack Costello was
born, and being born with a hard-on, his birth was heralded as being
especially beautiful. His father had been sponsored by some
philosophers to provide the real, human witness from The
Lords And The New You Know Who,
and had not told the mother. You know the rest, when enough media is
or are compressed, the results of anything penetrative are bad for
those who would wish to control the media.
