All interpretations to explain an experience, what if, just for a moment, focus were to return to the experience? If insight is worthwhile, would there be any in such experience?
For the sake of argument, we will say no, it is only a distraction from production, from creation in this world, from the building. Building what? who knows? Only we will not desist, our companion may not come but there is satisfaction in keeping the appointment.
Many years ago, I kept an appointment with someone I knew for certain would never come, I sipped my espresso alone and ate my almond and chocolate pastry alone and knew for certain the person for whom I was waiting would not come, it was a delicious experience, a promise made and kept after so many years.
Year later I am overjoyed that I kept that appointment, the one for whom I waited had become a cowardly, shabby echo of the person I had kept the appointment for. A nasty disappointment, had I to do it again I would not, we were none of us ourselves. That old bargain had been flushed down the toilet of time.
Now, I crack the drums and beat the splintered desk, my pen draws meat in flecks and bone is showing.
Rambles land on pebbled shores.
I cannot cross the border but it's well worth the journey to the edge.
Sunlight makes the flowers bloom.
Nightly though, I'm eaten by the moon.
Half hearted shocks.
How any man leaves effort tenderless.
Collapse is a construction too.
Bent but not broken, borrowed but not blue.
A character in search of six authors.
The creases become grooves, the grooves become roads.
Charting the hits. Taking stock of nothing.
Full of idiots, tellers of fury, signifying sounds.
Playful apocalypse.
It's all here.
What gymnastics must be done, to secure a long hour's sleep?
In my pocket.
