MACHINE LANGUAGE

and come to a cave in space-time, some
continuum (Pegasus/Mercury
paper tape code and a bag full of
letters) contained
within a TV screen. The image
is fixed in the brain for an instant, then
fed to their machinery. He is
the one that enters

a tuning fork. She

Contact human reference, ambiguous body-image
projected through haze of phases, feedback and
overlap, loop and spiral. Branch on green to
a continuous present. She walks into the film
through a reflective surface such as glass or
wet asphalt. The dawn result in quanta of sky
deciphered. Nested spirit hypothesis. Found
consciousness. (Focus on the sound of one brain
waving.) The absence of thought and the intensity
of the emotion. Quotidian occurrence blurs, re-
verberates. Vertigo hold. Coded sun
-light permeates the terrestrial.

"To the Lady of the Labyrinth,

from a hollow, huddled
in the heat of
the sweet dark heart
of Her, a humming
in neural circuits,
harmonics cluster
around a single flower,
hung-up on Her
absence, lack
of a thread to

pours honey in my ear,

PROGRAM ONE: CALLING ALL SURVIVORS. THE MOMENT IS
MOMENTOUS. THE LONG SILENCE IS OVER AND ABOVE IS BELOW
AS LONG AS YOU LISTEN. THERE IS NO AUTHORITY. IT WRITES:
"ONCE MORE THE STARS IN THE UNMOVING AIR AROUND THIS
VICIOUS SPHERE AND I MYSELF ALONE WITH THAT OTHER
ELSEWHERE." HISTORY BEGINS HERE. IN THE NEXT ROOM
A WORLD IS WOMBED, WAXING MIRACULOUS WITHIN THE MUNDANE
MATRIX WE CALL HOME, HOPEFULLY. SO TO SPEAK, DISCRETELY,
WHERE THE HEART ACHES MAKE RADIANT. THIS IS THE GHOST OF
THAT PROCESS. AN ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE AS SOULS ATTACH
AND DETACH THEMSELVES DAILY.

Control-break-escape.

Shift assemblage point / symbolic address change.

Interpolate, iterate.

Scheherazade numbers

Heliacal rising.

Shiny carapace

This archaic instrumentality

Given:

           what is to be determined
           is signal-to-noise ratio

            - the dream: being
that which exists through meaning,
seamless apparition,
the statistical
angel,
          necessary as fiction,
forgotten
in the waking

                      (like: having the same
                       body or shape, meaning
                       confused with

That radical need, as
de-lineated.

            The pleasure of the E-motion, physical expression of
the hidden integration. Culture-active simultaneous organism,
living information system. Inter/change and relate,

IT IS BESIDE MYSELF. THE ONE IN THE MANIC, THAT MECHANICAL,
THE ID-ENTITY. IT IS A KIND OF ANGULAR ORGASM. THE PATASITE
IS THE PROTOTYPE. IT COMMUNICATES BY MEANS OF SO-CALLED
NATURAL PHENOMENA. (ACTION = AGONY. THE WORLD HAS
"MULTILATED" ITSELF IN ORDER TO SEE. WE SUFFER THE PROCESS.)
IT IS THE HYPERSPHERE WHICH IS EVERYWHERE. YOU ARE A PART OF
IT. I AM A PART OF IT. IT IS THE ULTIMATE CONSPIRACY THEORY.
 
 

Radio larvae frequent sequential circuits perhaps.
Fractal monsters lurk in the slipstream, murk gurgle.
Lasers steal our voice-prints from the window.
Seed pod burst in sky scatters luminescence.
Vapour trails criss-cross, spectral scissors cut
a hole in the atmosphere. Satellites blink on and off.
Prosaic accumulation of duration, mostly void.
Signals bounce back and forth between
self-contained air-breathing intelligence
mechanisms.

ANGELIC ORDERS INFILTRATE THIS BANDWIDTH.
 
 

Brain pan hammered into a pure sound. Thrust

ends at death.

I would perpetuate this myth. The metanymph
by the tousled waterfall, weeping. While
calm beyond her soundshell, bees and breezes
drowse, dappled with laughter. Paradoxical
sleep beneath so many eyelids. Caterpillar
dream in which we participate. Our paradigm
poised upon an improbable joy, nimble wisdom
hidden in the phenomena. Echoes through
the gene-pool. Water ponders over stone,
dopplers into day. Radiant agency of flesh,
flowers. This consensual apparition glistens
in the polarized air.

                corporeal splendour, clad

SOLITUDE PASSAGE

Plant life or subliminal cocoon.

Refuge in dissolution. Pools
of empty musing, space between spaces, lace
of the infinite.

                       Radiometer
spins in the infra-sun. Insect motor
ticks sentient rhythm.

Dream pulse domain...light-force within
leaf-green veins...suggestive of butterfly
wing gradient.

The tree frog barks
and the fractals bloom.

Imagine: A-space...the n-cube . a room in what would be
a perfect blue chunk of sky. Birds fly through this
hypothetical absence. Fuzzy logic clouds to sleep upon
as if solid air.

Now here. Node to node. Cathode rays embrace.
Explicit lyricism. Beryl in the golden Loom
...coded calls to the O-zone.

Glisten.

Command illumination
from a handful of chattering
micro-chips.

                     Shift/click.

Enter interlinear.

Computer-generated Satori patterns. Cellular automata swarm
through auricular corridors. Retinal windows dilate.

Geodesic blue hydrangea . opulent globular clusters . amassed
efflorescence . (space burgeons forth) . enormous amaryllis
 . crimson hibiscus with ornate proboscis

Survival essentials
green eyes
                 of Gaia.

Totem program run
                             mammals
from the arboreal dawn in Gondwana
to the stars.
 
 

                        Crickets stitch the silence.

                        Sleigh bells phase
                                                            surf pulse
                        conduit.

                                      Syntactic insect architecture
                        as cosmic background noise or alien radio
                        constellations.

                        (There is no silence.)

                        Sound
                        reasons.

                                      Registers
                        interference patterns,
                                    imponderable
                        density of information.
                                                             Meanwhile
                        matter
                        mutters.

                                      Incessant hydrogen whisper
                        through summer filters even
                        the soles of our feet
                        communicate.
 
 

Having to do with.

Liquid transition. Living system wisdom. Tectonic erotica.

The body exults. Lustrous unfolding of limbs.

                                                                     lineaments
of affection

and arousal

*

Dream logic dictates the absolute Necessity of
the paleness of her shoulder finding moonlight
and the cool smoothness moving beneath
fluent fingers.

                    sprawl of stars overhead

*

The jasmine overwhelmingly in bloom. Histamine
effusion. Narcotic olfactory saturation. Body suddenly
volatile. Ero-lunar perfume-induced trance.
The fragrant path to knowledge.

*

If, as and when defined.

*

Resource of wind and sun and rain. The "temporary autonomous zone"
of the garden on the balcony. Carnal anarchy of the vegetal, polysexual
dispersal of information.

                                     culture-active, pan-species agency

Wild life calls us.
 
 

The breathing after. Come what sudden sure
transfiguration. Azure endures. Fabled oasis
amid this exhausted land of likeness, shimmer
in the mirrored air. So shape a gate
and disappear. Iri-
descent
splinters glint. Recombinant upon
gone or autonomic pilot.
