cutups Tracings #1 We all have opinions, affiliations, the next opportunity. I stay up nights increasingly brutal, stare at the screen and sigh. Unpostponable blows multiply openly, words empty of social consciousness. How often do writers think? As the world turns, turning and burning. Perhaps we don't notice the bodies piling up. Constructing extravagant barricades, we deserve Empire, the disenfranchised milling on the sidelines. More than anything, I have failed. At this point, expect nothing. How to proceed through words? So much writing because a person is a writer. Sputter and write pain: unbearable. Sunflowers overexposure the ear. No words can be kind. Dominate a cafe, perhaps. Imagine a faraway country, independent, misguided. Imagine a piece of ourselves, rich, varied, green and wet. I desire. I am ashamed. I worry in the night. I worry money. I consume my worth. Forget the romantics, give me heart, fierce love poems. Tracings #2 first section Lend me your commonality, strictly-speaking and finally. Robin Hood gave a speech. My hat is not a pear shape, or meaning anything. Grammar isn't viable See what I mean? Degeneration scares me. I notice the mannequin in the mental ward. What of my public struggling to construct eccentric grace, catch a nice round experience, trade knowledge to other clues. I suspect the universe, a secret plot. I suspect the hokey-cokey. Assume my concern, be prepared to stick around. For a long time it was just a few lines exhorting to totally no avail — almost anything. Nostalgically, mangoes. No wonder I feel so out of it. Speaking of bad writers (the vast clique) -- how would I know? I am a malcontent, the squeaky wheel. Don't pay for the rhythm of words: Hey-Ho, a bear claw to go. second section People backchannel yak-yak. Everything to everybody -- wearisome devolved individuals delivering specifications. Perhaps this is just me spending too much time in front of a computer, pixellated around the edges. I sense the presence of a person truly and carefully unremarked upon, hungry for a login/identity. Choose any given moment, you are more than a tool, a state of mind, a third party intruder. Reconsider the system, inform the membership, start a new topic, send a cool gift. I am writing at the cellular level, reaction as an explosive. I'm ripped out of context, shuffled daily, much used -- currently with extremists who prefer arguments. Community Prance(ables) I'd like to invite you to be created, serve approval, develop enthusiasms, specific interests. The first and finite task is the process. The drafting committee is discussing lesser people, summer vacations, instances engraved in stone. The best questions will be determined. The second task is open, for one reason or another. Enthusiasms and concerns differ in intensity. Reason is also an option. Guidelines and revisions will depend on whether the group is official, tireless, acquainted, Reminders will be broadcast. It won't stop an idea. Motivation behind the desire to increase proportions and stem the flow of psychologically inclined anti-use is exalted. Disparate users reveal themselves as second class, befuddled outsiders impinge on the organizers -- a small core group of people who don't even exist! There is need for interaction: difficult behavior, inappropriate decisions, reasons to make a split, less autocratic sense, artificial ethos, feeling paranoid. Users who never reveal themselves, the whole reason — particularly someone who self-identifies as having a core idea — feel second class obligations to the organizational entity. There are always newcomers, those who haven't explored all the befuddlement. Avenues for formation, continuous presence, locations and byways — to discover and understand the status of membership, specific principles, or whatever, without any endorsement, chosen by specific functions — no worries there. Imagine a universe of previous status, confusion decided by committee — defined in scope by certain words. Envision the next gathering of guidelines and procedures, submitting to a vote — the committee given more weight than members. Try to take a larger view. Make a distinction between procedures and approval — nurturing multiple meanings, a variety of volunteer opinions: better, broader, more complete. Clarify perceptions. Link directions to assistance: participants and mentors are channels of capacity. This is being announced. There will be other notices. The process continues. Claim a core, identify the core entity. Feel interested in specific matters, personal views. Have continuous befuddlement! Hang on and keep asking questions. Send a cool gift. |
