A dream jealously guarded : Keep off the Grass. And yet whose unearthly beauty compelled one to say : God forgive me.
– Malcolm Lowry, Under the Volcano
Willing a lightyear’s passage by sheer wishful thinking, it’s stunning to feel that rules aren’t real. Take the other in-house drug: some of the Almighty’s love & hate kept killing in an instant. Be him! Indulge in the imitation of Christ! But the disingenious deal is invalid. Why? Surreptitious breach of security. Invading time dwarfs blast the shadow people back to ’82 or even earlier. So, what are the clandestine benefits of unsparing madness? Well, it’s the incarceration of your imagination, of course: “Purchase unique pills now!” Selective self-loathing re-uptake inhibitors. See, time threads given knot quality are about to remain within themselves. Those nodes, they can’t clog up the space drain…

“Books are for writing. Do not read anymore books. Everybody can write one little book, and it should be about himself.”
– Quentin Crisp
Wednesday, 9 May 2012
Slippery moss-green path going down down down, into the cortical maze & into the damp, dripping darkness… as I’m diving into the adit, a somber procession of clerics materializes out of the blackness – rat-faced Jesuit priests in black robes, lugubrious Dominican inquisitors in b/w habits, majestic purple clad prelates with wide-brimmed hats… trying to avoid them, I stumble upon a heavy sack of golden pomegranates… it occurs to me briefly to nick it, but a Carmelite abbess points out that the sack belongs to me, anyway… “You’ll have to defuse the fruits first, champ!” The nuns brandish their wooden rosaries. “But it will slow me down! Dad’s still after me!” Before I can make up my mind my cellphone is ringing. I don’t want to wake up yet!
