excerpt from ONEIROSCOPE.doc, three years strong
I’m at a massive suburban mall, blanched out with creamy glare, wandering around with three new friends, amalgamations of people I’ve come to know recently.

I break away from the bunch at an escalator and make a lonely b-line for an exit route when I...

SIRE OF ALL THE WORLD
And lofting a brick through the window of a FootLocker or a multinational bank basically means you’re giving more thankless labor to whatever underpaid person does janitor work there — but, also, perhaps, with that breaking something in you changes, your relationship to Captain Hegemony/abstracted corporate power/The Man/dreary chain stores/civil disobedience/personal responsibility....

Money lost, little lost.
Honor lost, much lost.
Pluck lost, all lost.

LOVECRAFT ON SYNTHESIZERS
“What do we know,” he had said, “of the world and the universe about us? Our means of receiving impressions are absurdly few, and our notions of surrounding objects infinitely narrow. We see things only as we are constructed to see them, and can gain no idea of their absolute nature. With five feeble senses we pretend to comprehend the boundlessly complex cosmos, yet other beings...

Yesterday, I saw a drowned man at Ocean Beach while walking down from Land’s End. I had been craning my neck toward the Cliffhouse, gawking at this giant, exhausted dog as it lolled in the sand, when I came to the water and saw a man in a wetsuit on his back about fifty feet in front of me, half in the sea, his surfboard floating in the waves. Helplessly, we bystanders waited for the rescue...

BOOK OF KELLS
“Natural forms,” wrote Djerzinski, “are human forms. Triangles, interweavings, branchings, appear in our minds. We recognize them and admire them; we live among them. We grow among our creations — human creations, which we can communicate to men — and among them we die.
