Duet

thinking about what matters .. Ursula

two pictures their meaning between them. meant for audience of one.

“A poem should not mean / But be.” MacLeish, Ars Poetica.

I stumble around, sometimes ,in the right direction the time comes along

2013, on the road. matching place overtime . The word, single word, “duet” suggests combination; some form of two. Standing still with soft eyes; my phrase from the 60s days, based upon the equestrian sense of riding a horse. Ride it with soft hands or hard. Different results, but then horses and terrain are different. If you can’t notice, don’t ride; you will choose wrong. At the SFAI, I talked about prints on the wall — variations in style of walking-looking. Be aware of your presence. You have a shadow; you aren’t one.

geometries or time . make the ‘or’ an ‘and’ ; geometries AND time. exposure and revealing .

The act of noticing. Action. la vie d’intérieur

Picking phrases that pick at me. One such: ‘they could calculate the exact mix of randomness and chaos..’ 

God moves the player and he, the piece.
What god behind God originates the scheme
Of dust and time and dream and agony? Borges (“The Game of Chess”)

An indirect reference item:
“Gabriela Alemán has written a terrible and beautiful story about the delicate borders between what is known and what is invented, and about the places where intimate tragedy and the tragedies of history intersect.”—Yuri Herrera, author of Signs Preceding the End of the World

Is there any hope for the world? No, there’s too much work

Mar-a-Lago millions

Posted on Posted in econocaste, K Street Y, Koch Sucker, overnight notes

hear those engines roar …

There’s a pussy on every plate ,but no cat is served

The millionaire class, those who donate , the donors and the beneficiaries of the bankrupt king are being provided more guards , more presence ,  more military ,police, aircraft ,and special operators . Tthey’ve been on site for more than three days practicing. this is more support , more protection than the four-star generals and admirals at Quantico received.. after all gentlemen you’re expendable the money isn’t..

The expendable and the spendable .. perhaps the world has higher regard, more respect for the stars of merit than the starstruck sucker class. 

Pitchforks by the millions. Reminder: those gunshots are just simulated ;everything is fake at Mar-a-Lago.

Before his second term began, President Trump was prosecuted repeatedly in state court, federal court and the Senate. After it ends, he could face trial in another venue, the International Criminal Court in The Hague. The U.S. didn’t sign the Rome Statute and therefore doesn’t belong to the ICC, but the court can find a jurisdictional hook in actions the administration has taken abroad in ICC member states. 

The strikes on Venezuelan narcoterror smuggling boats provide one possible avenue. Shortly after the U.S. Navy destroyed the first such vessel, Ken Roth, a former head of Human Rights Watch, endorsed ICC intervention. “Trump just did what the International Criminal Court has charged former Philippines Pres.
