POWERAR
Living in the earth-deposits of our history
Today a backhoe divulged out of a crumbling flank of earth
one bottle amber perfect a hundred-year-old
cure for fever or melancholy a tonic
for living on this earth in the winters of this climate
Today I was reading about Marie Curie:
she must have known she suffered from radiation sickness
her body bombarded for years by the element
she had purified
It seems she denied to the end
the source of the cataracts on her eyes
the cracked and suppurating skin of her finger-ends
till she could no longer hold a test-tube or a pencil
She died a famous woman denying
her wounds
denying
her wounds came from the same source as her power

stinking ass / lugubrious game
I take my stand. I have no other choice - thus pursuing this bestial hilarity to its extreme - but to lift my heart to Dali, and to grunt like a pig before his canvases.
paranoiac image
Paranoia
uses the outside world to make the most of an obsessive idea, with the
troubling particularity that the reality of this idea becomes evident to
others. The reality of the outside world serves as an illustration and
proof, and is put into the services of the reality of our mind. All
doctors agree in recognizing the speed and the inconceivable subtlety
frequently observed in the paranoiac, who, taking advantage of the
motives and the facts of such shrewdness that they escape normal people,
arrives at the conclusions often impossible to contradict or reject,
and who, in any case, almost always defies psychological analysis. It is
by a clearly paranoiac process that it has been possible to obtain a
double image: that is to say the representation of an object which,
without the least figurative or anatomical modification, is at the same
time the representation of another absolutely different object itself
also stripped of any kind of deformation or abnormality which might
disclose this arrangement. It has been possible to obtain such a double
image thanks to the violence of paranoiac thought which, with ruse and
skill, has made use of the necessary quantity of pretexts, coincidences,
etc. taking advantage of them to make the second image appear which, in
this case, takes the place of the obsessive idea. The double image
(which, for example, may be the image of the horse which is at the same
time the image of a woman) can be prolonged, continuing the paranoiac
process, the existence of another idea being then sufficient to make a
third image appear (the image of the lion, for example) and so on to the
extent of a number of images limited solely by the degree of paranoiac
capacity of one's thoughts.
