If I seem a little distant or incoherent, it's because I am. I am not a NeuroTypical and I have no desire to become one. This is simply the area in which I stim my creative impulses. (WARNING: All entries are either ENTIRELY TRUE or ENTIRELY FALSE and anything claiming to be one of the latter is, in fact, one of the former. There are no exceptions to this rule.)

31 October. Hallowe'en (All Hallows' Eve). It was once the Eve of Samahin, named for the Aryan Lord of Death, Samana, the Grim Reaper. The fracture of space and time when the seasons changed was supposed to allow contact between the worlds of the dead and the living. The dead might reappear and the living disappear.

He studies to describe
the lover he cannot become
failing the wildest dreams of the mind
& settling for visions of Truth

The tatters of his discipline
have no beauty
the he can hold so easily
          as your beauty

He does not know how
to trade himself for your love
Do not trust him
unless you love him

 
Do not forget old friends
you knew long before I met you
the times I know nothing about
being someone
who lives by himself
and only visits you on a raid

 
We are not the masks we wear
    but when we don them,
        do we not become them?


 
28 October. In 1988, according to the British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, a 15-year-old girl, born without a vagina, had given birth (presumably by caesarian section) in Lesotho, Southern Africa. Unable to have sex in the normal way, the girl was having oral sex with her boyfriend when, at his climax, an ex-boyfriend burst in, catching them in fellatio delicto. The intruder stabbed the girl repeatedly. One blow pierced her stomach and fallopian tubes, allowing some of the ingested sperm to seep into the open tubes. Thus she became pregnant.

its blind approaches baffle us
like the labyrinth wires
of a telephone central
thru which all calls are
infinitely untraceable
from the other side of silence...

Windows XP (so far) is hereby branded with my seal of approval...

 
That "senusal phosphorescence
                                          my youth delighted in"
now lies almost behind me
                                    like a land of dreams
wherein an angel
                            of hot sleep
dances like a diva
                              in strange veils
thru which desire
                              looks and cries

And she still comes
                              at me
                                        with breathing breasts
      and secret lips
                              and
                                        bright eyes...

 
sometimes he just sits in his room
he spins in his chair
f a s t e r
trying to catch a glimpse of the camera
he thinks ought to be there
adding a letterbox style to his life
catching all his
                  cardboard cutout smiles
and half-assed wit
                  he gets by on...

and in the end
there are no closing credits
no ending monologue

just me...

21 October. Saint Ursula, whose day this is, was supposed to have been killed in Cologne whilst accompanied by 11,000 virgins on a pilgrimage. Ursula ('bear' in Latin) was another name for Artemis, the Great Bitch, Mother of Animals, Mother of Cats, one of whose shrines was, unsurprisingly, at Cologne. The church dedicated to her in Cologne has so many relics that Lord Byron was moved to comment: 'Eleven thousand maidenheads of bone, the greatest number flesh has ever known.'

19 October. Saint Frideswide's Day. The bones of the patron saint of Oxford were dug up by an extremist Protestant reformer called Calfhill, mixed with the bones of a nun who had married a monk, and reburied in the cathedral with the new inscription 'Hic jacet religione cum superstitione' (Here lies religion with superstition). Ironically, by this act he preserved the saint's bones when so many were completely destroyed by Cromwell's enthusiasts. It is unexplained how this obscure saint, under the name of Frevisse, came to have a cult at the village of Bomy in the middle of Artois in France.

cast up
          the heart flops over
      gasping `Love'

    a foolish fish which tries to draw
      its breath from flesh of air

And no one there to hear its death
                            among the sad bushes
    where the world rushes by
                        in a blather of asphalt and delay...

 
a very purely naked
        young virgin
with very long and very straight
        straw hair
and wearing only a very small
        bird's nest
in a very existential place...

If I hear one more geriatric white male talk of "Justice" or "Morality," I think that I might just vomit...

and I think Korzybski might roll over in his grave...

succubus -
        (Etymology: Middle English, from Medieval Latin, alteration of Latin succuba paramour, from succubare to lie under, from sub- + cubare to lie, recline)
                    : a demon assuming female form to have sexual intercourse with men in their sleep

ORGASM is a great way to meet people...

 
I can't be the only one who's thoroughly disgusted with the sweeping measures passing through our so-called "house of representatives" to take away our rights. Is "terrorism" but the latest justification for the theocratic fascism that Bush and his cronies have wanted to implement since day one? or what?

A friend just sent me an email quoting George Bush saying we should all go to Disneyland. It didn't surprise me. I kind of suspect George lives in Disneyland all the time, with Mickey and Goofy and Osama bin Laden and all the "faith-based organizations" in the world.

As Voltaire said, "The only way to comprehend what mathematicians mean by Infinity is to contemplate the extent of human stupidity."


 
The plight of Bill Maher reminds me of something Ezra Pound wrote about London in 1919: "A single intelligent remark can destroy a man's entire career."

 
Just as the War Against Drugs would make some kind of sense if they honestly called it a War Against Some Drugs, I regard Dubya's current Kampf as a War Against Some Terrorists. I may remain wed to that horrid heresy until he bombs CIA headquarters in Langley.

I turned on CNN a few days ago and a White House robot announced that the rebels in Chechnya "were" no longer freedom fighters but "are" now terrorists with "clear" links to Osama bin Laden.

CNN provided no details about whether the transformation occured in a sudden miraculous flash like the transubstantiation of the host in a Catholic mass, or happened slowly and gradually like Darwinian evolution.

In a related bulletin, Russia pledged its support in the War Against Some Terrorists, and will presumably start with those bastards in Chechnya.

 
5 Ocotber. In 1829 the schooner Mermaid sailed from Sydney, Australia, but sank in a storm on the fifth day out. All hands survived, and were rescued off a rock by the Swiftsure, which was dashed on rocks five days later. The Governor Ready rescued both crews, but caught on fire and was abandoned. Everyone was rescued by the Comet which sank five days later, and all hands were rescued by the Jupiter (the fifth ship), which struck a reef two days later. Everyone was rescued by the City of Leeds. On board was Sarah Richley, sailing from England in search for her son. 'By chance' her son was one of the crew on the Mermaid.

4 October. Feast Day of St Francis of Assissi (1181-1226). In 1224, after a vision of the crucified Christ held by a six-winged seraph, St Francis developed bleeding holes in his hands and feet, greatly impressing witnesses including Pope Alexander IV. The marks looked like black nails which protruded considerably, as though a real nail pierced the limb with its point and head projecting either side. Domenica Lazzari ehibited a similar effect in the nineteenth century. There are over 300 recorded cases of stigmata, with a much larger incidence amongst women.
