the gravitational mass of fish
my window is rattling in response to some vibration outside but when i lock it, it shifts to a subversively sonorous drone.
actually, i don't know where the vibration comes from; it could be anything.
it could be my cat stalking the Sailor Scouts, e.g.
i proclaim tomorrow (otherwise known as Thursday) to be Distraction-Free Day.
all random blogging, anime-watching, Dune-reading, re-organizing-of-the-kitchen-because-i-can't-take-it-anymore must be avoided at all costs.
i have to grovel to institutions & find bits of paper to prove the doctors wrong. i have to sticker my car. i have to shift the flower arrangements. i have to convince the cops to give me copies. all this & maybe a little bit of good v. evil as a nightcap. if i'm a good girl.
aha, it's almost a full moon, that's why everyone's all weird.
i was going to write about testing superstring theory (it involves black holes in the Alps) & perpendicular galaxies & the North Star's newfound friend & how long it takes to traverse a black hole (& my suspicion that they're missing out on some sort of infinity on that one) & the mouse that set a house on fire & the lions in Tanzania (but not about the one-eyed cat) but i wrote this instead.
this i just found i wrote almost exactly a year ago:
I notice the light first:
not at all green, rather gleaming & graywhite
as the sky's been,
slats & blurs of reflection off hardwood
shaded by swoops of transient curtain
which never draws but we see:
tree limbs like sticks in a winter bouquet
(there was mountain sage in the one I gave you)
the tenor dog has ceased its strangely-patterned communion
but the bass & bells of wet traffic
swell & ebb like a song:
the dog must be accents or
a reminder of rhythm.
in here the soundtrack is deliberately mythical,
the lyre of Orpheus inside windows,
mediocre coffee in a green marble mug:
deep green of seat cushions on white frames
& the licorice-green of wine bottles,
green iron & glass, spikes of organic green,
spiderplant, a young palm, basil vines:
in all that gray light, flecks of color
from a persona who gives me
green things with character,
who met in greens & greens
& Paris paintings in gray-green,
reflective green streets signs so
I know where I live
but where else is there green today?
1/13/2005
ah, it seems not much has changed since then.
but it has. & the coffee's better.
here is a message of joy from mysfit:
i have no idea how old this is but it still works for me.
(i have a bellybutton, um, i am a sunflower...damn! how did that go???)
now i'm going to rearrange my bedroom & get my eyes into some scifi while i still can.
ps: there's thunder & lightning here in New York.
lightning? in January? quoi?
& i started a website for portraits, which is the thing about photography that i most love & am least practiced at.
so yeah.
23 little fish:
Of course, to the observer anything entering a black hole will appear to hang there because time slows down and OH MY GOD RELATIVITY MAKES MY HEAD ASPLODE.
me too.
's why i wrote about cats & cartoons instead.
Cute cat...love how many of the Sailor Moon characters look frightened over their imminent demise.
Great portraits on the new website!
mobiusness.
because i felt like sharing.

ok last one, but some of the videos are cool.
peace
wow...i absolutely do not have the time to look at those right now.
damn.
definately check out the first one. its worth it.
INSIST ON JOY!
as a warning to anyone who's trying leftsock's link - .mov files are quicktime...
and i will not admit knowing anything about anyone in the video, thank you very much... :P
I like:
a. your poems, and
b. how you seem to let them cure for a year or two before posting them...
"reflective green street signs / so I know where I live"
it's funny how some words just strike us.
sometimes i write new things directly onto the fish...
but it does them good to ferment for a year or so.
and the page of joy silently slips by
oh yeah?
well i grok your mouth music, fandangle.
:P that should probably have been "fandango"
really? i like "fandangle".
"ontological and psychological effects of the imagery on the structure of the poetic statements he makes" - right
and the humdinger: "all boys are silly" tranlated into symbolic logic(literally: 'for all things, if the things is a boy then it is silly') :P
i was never so hot at the language of logic...
yeah well, you were never so hot at logic either :P
don't i know it.
that animecon clip made me giggle...
ya - eeeeeeehehehehehehe - i still refuse to know anyone in it
