Did your sun roof climb and slide "drizzlier a circle" as a child?

The notebook is dyspeptically potent the pompano at the prescore of the cycle

as it was when crenation was spoken

in the 1st autostrada

Did Each "subsequent violet s-file ever whisper answers or play changes in"2"

profile "answer according with purple blossom"

and round to a mellophone swearing awhatareto

beautiful circle "was as a shard."

The tune

where a rule

requires returns

the word simple "the file is interpretation, violet answers are "in2"

profile: the same was heard"

and vibraphones to

the questions in where end between

uncertain rhythm

on perfection

i woke up early this morning after having fallen asleep on the livingroom couch, with the tv on, the classic movie channel. and there, in low volume indistinctly noirish b&w, was an old newsreel interview with the actor david niven.

he told this story: he had taken a leather jacket to the cleaners, it had been covered with fake blood and various other sticky substances during a movie scene. when he picked it up, it was fine and smooth again, but there was a note attached from the cleaner "it distresses us to return work that is not perfect". he went on to say that it had become his motto as an artist. he smiled and brushed his lapel, settling back in his chair, chin up. all this before my first cup of coffee.

i am a perfectionist and it does distress me to do any work that doesnt meet the criteria. however, perfection as modus operandi can become so tight that freedom to experiment, to go beyond strict lines of creative reasoning, can become impeded. likewise from the opposite angle of perfectionism, if anything in the perceptual field is clouded then other issues become fuzzy. and one can not fully feel or see if even one part of vision is not addressed. the perfectionist in me will refer to the adage: even one tiny drop of black ink will change the entire color of the water in a large glass jug. one glance at a dust puff at the edge of peripheral vision becomes anathematic, while you can not wear blinders and still see clearly. everything must be taken into account, especially that which you are practiced in not looking at. i need to look at perfectionism and admit the semi-anality of it. so the exercise for today is in opening the angle. from a narrow 45 degrees or so to a complete 360. since perfectionism is in question today, i will be satisfied with at least a 180.

Nobody sees a flower, really, it is so small.

We haven't time - and to see takes time

like to have a friend takes time.

If I could paint the flower exactly as I see it no one would see what I see

because I would paint it small like the flower is small. So I said to myself -

I'll paint what I see - what the flower is to me but I'll paint it big and they

will be surprised into taking time to look at it - I will make even busy

New Yorkers take time to see what I see of flowers.

...Well, I made you take time to look at what I saw and when you took time

to really notice my flower you hung all your own associations with flowers

on my flower and you write about my flower as if I think and see what you think

and see of the flower - and I don't.

- Georgia O'Keeffe

i can see why miss o'keeffe wants to live there.

scattered ruins ashgray true refuge.

issueless the rouge and pigment dreams of days and moonlit nights,

painting, four walls over backwards, colors traveling east no sound

changelessness

reflects the passing hour.

dawn, inca rose and amber fragments and the other, called amethyst dusk.

blank planes and sheer of the eye, calm, a longlasting walk in the sand...

one step more and

she will make it.

on her back face to the sky heart beating

little body features overrun by two pale shades

and shadow.

touch open close, all quiet, my mcCartney rose

Robert Vickrey:

'well i will always be an outsider in my opinion

because whether my work is any good or not it certainly is outside the current mode

the art world now says they want things to be cool

they dont want anything to be emotional.

and i would like to be emotional

and thats what i would like to be remembered for

the phrase that picasso used is

"art is alive

it tells us the truth"

which i think is a good way of summing it up'

an archytextual elevation

erect the walls and mazeprune

aspects of loose wiring

the subtlest stimuli in utero
morf inside the circuitboard..

this trichotomous fortress

its going to hide the skyline
(cognitive faculti
brick stone tunnel, motif bunker
yinyang arch windows
exaggerated invulnerable
external access and ventilation
in the original construct
reverse prison design
dictates the context.
recheck blueprint area definition
highlight the edge of illusion
where plumbpipes run under
a moat, demand prevents risk
clarity intention sensation
over the original foundation
i wonder why)

on the shore



red ribbons entwine and cascade from the porthole windows circling breeze around my straw hat and mariner twines soaked in sun alchemize to shiny gold
entropy smooths their curves
we followed a course to faraway rice-paper horizons

"relating to growth in the moment," doctor lovely said,
"how willing are you to turn new, not old, letting loose what you know
for this now inside this forever?"

um...simply by being here
whether expanding or escaping
to or from the fluid fleeting who am i... still, doctor, the question exists , am i doing it right?

out of chaos for inspection
salutes the coast guard slightly nipped
forthrightly clipped
armed with meaning for
the war on misunderstanding
w/o cause for difficulty,
just following orders,

2 journey inside the great adventure, isnt that why u came to begin with and underneath the surface, shifts in the currents bellydance with arabian tides and floating
bubbles for schools (of fish

who will out climb out. from the rolling waves onto the beach
and observe the oldenwood stairs, come into reach
step up to hills, carrying a carpetbag of coltrane over crossings and palm fronds dipped in ice cream clouds as sound and music rise from the center of time to the heart in you. and remember
