1 Innuendo

5 people inherited behaviour patterns

100% clear

universe in colour/sound

quintescence (barrier)

Put another log on the fire

What's a good turn?

mind bending

seaweed pizza

organic jam

a shell

4 compass's systems

4 rotated rotable

what's the hardware, works

Cities, pain excitement

The bloody liberals it'll pay then back

Reflection - what you see

yourself coming in any

form whatever -

danger mirror image

levels of consciousness

 

2 REUNION

It's our only chance

to go back into the vault with the forgeries And take out the originals

You cant do that

If we don't the project is finished

 

This is such a bore I want to be alone with you

It's time are you ready

What time is it 11.45

Kiss him

What kind of girl do you think I am

He's unconscious

I said kiss him

Quick get back outside

What's the time?

 

7 to 12

Smear your lipstick mess up your hair

Laugh a ha ha ha

Louder

Aha ha ha ha

 

He's giving you the night off

There's somebody in front of that vault

I don't want to interupt him

What are you going to do?

Never mind get back in the car

Put the keys back

It's too dangerous

 

Ah yes yes yes yes

These are the originals

It's too late your are caught

Leave their bodies here in the vault

And once we get out over the ocean

Goodbye sweet Kate

How many kisses do I owe you

I'll tell you when when we get back to L.A.

On second thoughts I'll tell you now Oh - the artist

Someone tried to run me down in Paris

Just like that

They thought I was crazy and so did that doctor

What happened

Someone cut the rail

I'm an artist and I 've got my own problems

One of them is finding solitude

You can stay at my place but

I must be able to go on with my work

Follow me

 

Damn it we'll try another way

There's been a landslide

But it's not possible

I thought the gap was wider

He's going anyway but you'd better step on it

It'll take us 15 years

To get where this road comes out

He's there go into the motel

I was trying to pass you

The roads are narrow

Don't you agree?

What's the idea of the photo

You made such a beautiful picture

I could not resist

 

What's he want the photograph for

If you looked like this

They'd never recognise you

Hardly my good chap

I've lived with it for a year now do you know

Scared of things that have been happening

I don't believe it it was your idea

What did they mean there isn't much time

 

Tell us about anyone you spoke to on the boat

I didn't speak to anyone

This photo I know its not very pretty

But is this the man who

Spoke to you in the bar

Who's he?

Oh the amateur

By the way I expected to find you in morning

Are you suggesting that I'm playing it both ways

Did his information die with him

The answer is ...

Can you please tell me something

So I'm not in the dark

Ever heard of the embargo on political materials

 

I really think you should go back to London

But you stay here

Suppose she says nothing

Because she knows nothing

People are always drowning in meditation

What's the helicopter doing out here

They must be somewhere on this coast

 

How are you feeling

I'm feeling fine thank you

I'm your freind I've always wanted to help you

Are you allright

Did they hurt you

Can you walk

Yes I can walk I can also run

Have they been giving you drugs? yes

Did they say what it was

They said something about a truth drug

Here slip this on

 

Quick back here as fast as you can

Quick down the steps

That girl escaped with the gun

You take the east gate I'll take the west

 

This is only one way out

If I can only get the helicopter over here

Paul I have something for you

What? a gun

He told me to let you have it

Drop the gun

 

No I must do what he told me

He told me to give you the gun

And that he's going up to the villa

To give himself up

Saind he went up there?

No he went down to the beach

 

 

3 WATERVALE

Watervale

Riverton

Red streaked clouds

Winery

Moving dwner and downer

Lost without words

Words without help

Lost many times over

Innuendo signs and symbols

would leave anyone with

a half speed brain mind alone

Add up the years

The changes the models

the goals the sheep the goals

On a train

history doesn't repeat

itself it dissappears into a shelf

A friend or lover

White sun

We lost are own words

And came out the other side

withe a 15 year

old tongue

your jaded faded

inherited tribal eyes

you'd never know

what you're turning inside

out for

Hanging on

All the senses transgressed

Head finally in its place

little hips

not too fleet

growing whole

every station a movement less

4 months of

jumping on the bus

and 7 shots

draw up the connections

 

4 Smoked into a disposal store

 

Smoked into a disposal

store in Kings Cross

where history slips through

a charred photograph

All those days on the road

the bus the train on the street

consumed

in an ounce of dusty green

green gold green gold

green gold green gold

green gold green gold

 

The sleepy backyard

birds chirping

a car door calls

voices rise and fall

Lazy smoke around us

Sunday morning

looking for edges

shedding souls past

 

Your throat's burning

a long way down

searching out the blind

pain displaced

like a shower of rain

again and again as

time/space flows away

 

One night sat up

another night flew through

coal black skies

and tomorrow

I'll map out another way

 

Tomorrow came and went

each idea contrived

every value mutilated

each nervous system inadequate

 

When words are sound of the universe

the universe defuses

meaning steps over being

 

Balancing inherited

reactions passed on

from marriage

balancing families of connections

from word to word

abuse to lie

with real double vision

balanced divisions

of charges circles and spherical

space humanist

cloak over the east

Inherited sleep walks

collapses

Inherited gods turn into ghosts

who disappear

 

 

5 BRING YOUR LEGS UP

 

Bring you legs up again

I feel the heat

like a winding track

and a west wind

blowing east

your humanist eyes took over

this cell of a room

went a stoic grey

the wind blew rain on the door

the wind rattled

the floor an airport

in the dark

when a pale blue grey

goes mauve

no sunsets or games

can burn bridges

the south pole

balanced by the north

by the phases of the moon

 

Another truck on the highway

every mile out of town

In Albury we find a tread

going to Queensland on

the silver Gum highway

on a dark night

a truck slows down

yoou step down like gold

in the dark

your body heat glows

against the sheets

 

6 STARS

 

Stars in the cold night

lightened the sky

like down

tramlines on highways

unlit a light wavering over

a seat for two

origins and horizons like fire

up against a scream

the son and the daughter

sleep pristine with eyes

lowered heat

flowing from within

walking in circles

stamping out action

alliegence the cruelest hoax

of all wandering down

when you're asked to stay

and you leave

receiving the one dimensional

slowly dawning sky

gazing on a deserted highway

looking in the fields

for anyones hands

ablaze on the grass

the words

keep whispering

your stage was singing

then you made it your life

 

7 Reason serves to release fear

 

Lie feet facing east

head West place one

centre of attention to the North

two on the South side of

East and reason in the

distance in the South

Focus attention on the

two sources in the East

Then the North. Unite

with the North, join

the South - levitate

 

The next night we rambled

with an old black car up

against a cliff face

and someone got trapped

but handed a few things

out the window

 

 

8 Let me down from China

 

programmed at the cinema

visiting friends opens old wounds

old wombs

visited friends

come face to face

when it's too late to be

a friend

So I take too late and make it

too early

Turn on the radio

but you'd better book your tickets

because it's next Sunday night

at the Hordern Pavilion

Some people say they're sick

of rock concerts

that alienation when the worker

and the product and the price

are paid off

Swimming underwater stroke by stroke

Standing under the telephone wires

town to town

heart to heart

try sending love post to post

 

 

9 FRONTIER

Standing on the beach watching traces in the sky

fly by Louise left home

saying I came country blues I came

who's gonna shoe your pretty little feet

who's gonna say desert this beach for jails

sail without sea sail without way crossreads

last words angel were love the family

 

On the frontier Mail you lean out the door

flat on the landscape sweeping away the bloodcall

crusted in dust for a thumbprint and a fall

 

Are we all reborn suckled on the beach

with all evolution in conception

and the gradual growth of life

nothing leaves this planet

and as the body grows the soul returns

to live on earth

 

At the pyramids four points crystallise

in a dreamless instant

 

10 I Remember Below

 

I remember below

faces in the rock and lightning

Seeing without time sensation without space

lace in the hold on

the Moss Vale pit

I see in your mind all wounds

 

Eating always brings

the hungry mob

who send their SOS in a hundred hours

I know we think less than nature

out of the shadows came a ghost

blue the colour of gums

silver the lips of culture

 

Trucks stop I stop the train to unload design

the deep south

Snowy Mountain hope dream

to iron out the breadth of manifold duality

hear a pin drop there a writhing sphere in the galaxy

 

The green hills blue sky that makes landscape

she eases me in waxed spaced forever

you care

dissolved to a point

thrown threw a void

 

Your actuality is my eventuality

hopeless green energy

on battlefields seeing you always tern

shackles of the right

refrigerated transport sex urge telescope vision

wheel on a brick wall

 

What do we do if we don't get down there

what if we get on the boat

do we get the train too

you by-pass green winding river eve

no iron monster

 

Arriving alone I feel the breakdown of intimacy

it's easter states timed words

man a lack of I am

 

 

 

11 Sth Dynon Loco Dept.

 

Beware of trains, railroads. seatainers and texture

It's the blue doctor a Hong Kong Song

how does it go "about doom getting here"

a husky voice a man could get hashish

but it looks like you get lost up here

Flurry dark eyes

it's too heavy

I saw you older (early) what side's the station

Good luck then just mind your head overland

& strike a light I'll wait, don't drop it

I've got the brown I've got the blue

 

 

feet fall in the red and white light

throwing back what's already in space

like a float on waves to look west you me itate

2nd fire near a cross

no second media it's in the west

that voices pierce the flames

pagan man

slips last believer

unseen

building dynamos

divided waves to a friend

space

 

12 THE ROOM (2)

 

A grey chair that looks white at night and a red floor

the silver streaks on the white line are white waves

woven awe at the only real chair around any more

grey invalid blankets and red slaves

 

When I think of red Indians and the rd flag language

Dies are cast after all you can write your way

You can stop any spark and any drawbridge

world weary negativity and never work today

 

The silver streaks vampires mercury

The blue heroin if I read you write space&time

Red green and grey room with a brown cupboard

Grey blind 3 grey doors grey fire grey mine

 

 

The warzone landseer draws a passing alchemist

Hermes Trismegistus in your prism

It's bloody raining I know that mist

Calcination, putrefaction, solution, distillation, prison

 

De-sublimation conjunction and it's fixing

Black white red passing through shades of rainbow

Now green turns blue, sounds like you're still mixing

Grains of pure hail snow rains

 

Yr gold is sold yr old in blue beams

You've in the bread red, slipped on the doublee

Dazed of the earth seen all sounds schemes and themes

It's Omega's eyes and the girls curls that trouble me

 

13 The Beach (1)

 

Indian red sun grey from the east

to the magnetic sun just a line on the water

and a gaping gold orb the wheeling rhythms of orgasm

the cranes and poles turn it to mist in seconds

sailing boat you look like hope sun flashes

till the grey roof sky strung with sunfires

floats a vacuum a clawed fist in the southern sky

 

14 The Beach (2)

 

Make beach cleaning one of your beach games

Modern hexagrams in the night make sky ablaze

into deep red triangle hear the train sound aeroplane

destination Eastern triangle a red light on a transparent s

into your curls with waves, reach north on the beach

 

the light was all light so they migrate

The grey brings rain

The plane returns still humming lights multiply

is this dark catching me here

 

15 My Room is a blanket

 

My room is a blanket like a semi-trailer

so you make every sound a word and all you hear

is reflex reaction. No bells

 

Realism on the beach. Can we have those images

The reality eternity lit three white lights

Self/Time/Space but I can't find your fourth

And your red light creeps down the coast

gulls hills your schematic room

a course south-east a new day

dew on the plantation

a pier on the ocean you play

a place to embark to wash again

 

Flashes spin south writing round the wall

a distant drone I'm looking south

but the place breaks down

when a dark form trudges by the water

 

Winter my beach-house is frozen

Searchlight in the water

There was once a machine called art

a forced marriage of conscript education

and a line of traffic

because the rest is poison, Vietnam legacy

 

Neutratralise the body neutralise your life

Neutralise colour

 

16 I Know this Garden

I Know this garden

I'm imagining your world again a few points

Not to travel means less if you don't

means more if you do

I keep seeing you in books

You must come back from beneath black pools

the first I ever saw

 

At the ledge I saw it then and now deja vu

I see it again

the girl across the street

reading poetry

I sometimes stayed all night rode home at dawn

you took it to the gorge

inching on the cliff

hairpin bends

till you sleep in the streets

wrapped in her rugs

 

Reading in a corner

at the Louvre Rubens gets the bends

he misses the Raphael

he trips on the pastels

he notices the floor

Can't get off it

 

The fridge goes calm

the Shakespeare I read at school

gave the people four sides

you showed me we couldn't sink a stone

while the whole ship's sinking

jungle greylands to settle with thumbprint

looks at nudes crossing the Delaware

a replica now

partly redecorated a partly golden section

 

What is the style of art known for straight lines and heavy for

Furniture, Tiepolo the purest exponent

Etruscan arches, Dutch Romanists, Durer's thristle

all bridges

Art takes you into a world of it's own

 

 

17 The Painters

 

The ones I can't find

Veritable future blues opening out on

a playground of milkcows heading for the kitchen

in Cambridge floating on a river

the Shakespeare I read at school

gave the people 4 sides to view the pool

tins of words unopened

decks on board

 

18 The Hail

 

Who found the hail

When you get that distant sound of drums

are you too far beyond reason to pass

without passengers

the cold pebbles of ice and snow

"sweet blues" I believe you

a distant cry at sea

the music floats in hailing microphone blues

the fridge goes calm when I step in the door

 

19 3 PROBES ON THE HEAD

 

3 probes on the head raining chins

ecstasy lingers on

fear of hashish. smoky assassins, Nervals death

No matter what you thought of language morali ty even colour

and music now changes drums

Today is repented woven

Last visions of opium in Dehli Thailand

Limbless in Bombay without electromagnetic energy

 

Still the grey rain of winter

Turning to the white of spring

I cross my legs to meditate

a last nights v gil voyeur in a silver web

Buried in the sand Hua Hin

last year (the age to drink water)

 

20 When I hit the beach

 

When I hit the beach it began to rain

I'd passed blue blonde and mother/child

bright all over white light in the 4 pm sun

Footprints in the copper sand

45 rain

and the rainbow burns through a grey skyroom true 360

Blowing Red Orange Green Blue Indigo Violet

2 or 3 diameters

8 gulls wander past paradise hut

The double rainbow starts in the sea small castles

and arches the clouds

7 seagulls fly north

one waits blocks the path with ruby eyes

sand to stone in the ocean of glass

 

21 THE BEACH

 

The wet sabd dried like Arabian dunes

driving south

red waves flaked on the beach

crashing the angry south beach

flings only colour

turns two blue shoes together

the white light pink tonight

didn't even know I'm gonna need you for this

I been dinking

I been singing to the radio news.

This night I froze in reqium

Shake in red waves

roll closer and over us all

eat out what's left

red flag waves

one hand in ice, the second half of ice

specific quarter rolls red

but the red waves make music

In the white spring

I lower the veil

I carry man's idiot ceremonies too alone on scout Melbourne Beach

out east the waves glow white as you warm to the night

there you are among the waves

till you stand and sink in the sea

our shallow tear

I put it on the void

your ghosts leave in sorrow

in the air they're lapping now

the red rings of hunger that you alleviate

the duneswhistling by

I'm walking with the tide

the maps in the mind

 

22 I LOOKED AT YOUR CLOTHES

 

I looked at your clothes saw them as light

took out the bed and the street

your aura burned purple in red moonlight

and deep in a mind shaped in folds

weaving breaks on a dry plane of ice

hills breathing

 

Hifing colours with colours grows new colours

this time eyes will see

drunk in a star eyed cradle

without height people move fall down

I reach out across the room and in the pyramid mirror

a point in the rolling desert

 

Sitting cross-legged tumbling on the centre of gravity

the fields spread like clockwork

like lightning

the room is a man executed

her lovers seduced under aches in alleys

 

The day the sun eclipsed was the last time we met

on the sky blackened platform

records crackled

satyrs on the waves

 

The way they put bodies in the air us and them

always at war

I found

layers of maps scattered fields of names

all outhouses

 

 

23 AT THE START

 

At the start I begin with a new birth move a

thousand years

no measurements now and lift it

a slight breeze of sounds but no wind

talking time into void

and lift out a molecule

hash is a perfume the last golden sense

and touch oh you see it wandering waters age still mine

one match and I have the smell of burning flesh

trying to iron our negatives

 

wish to turn back

when all eroded earth has been surrounded

tropical mountain tropical monolith

endless sea of calm glimmering haze golden age

 

How can you tell anyone this

always two of you western concepts concepict

the cold hail wont last

a victory from magic

the echo from the noise of thew west

Flowers grew in the garden hours of glistening euthanasia

heat turns into light and back to heat

split down the middle

till the bloods flown in to tulips

an' out into tankers

a light for the hearts of Asia

 

The red sun sinks leaving sand in our hair some on the window

some in the vineyard others out working the castles

others in a grey room parachuting down

and out onto snowfields of Switzerland

Interglacial man tobogganing

woman waits with a black and white moon

 

Naked next to noon

conditioning releases the one rhythm of life

love poverty and doors are like phases of the lunar moon

one leg rests on another the veils waver like water

electric gap to ecstasy

 

Out west we look east and wind up south

Blue mountaineers

 

24 Every Parameter

 

Every parameter has a morality issue so we threw the things away

Arts balance time/power made me think of sun

and I was back with a glass and a leaf on fire

coming to a deserted house in the country

Has it always been there? It's flight softly drawing

the swell of sounds in the night

 

In my own mind I often don't believe what I think

I answer myself

by stepping back into the body

body turns white after all it's still Spring

 

25 Man/Woman

 

Build music in nature

woman's nature man's nature

the transcendental recovery of imagery

the scent of apples, the scent of knowledge

 

We read books by buying them when way out in the world

holy houses filter mint light

blue/green nature in a heart, the hope of art

feed the Saturday night take a shower with

so much to untangle

 

One chance to communicate - nature

is 2 chances to communicate - lose nature

woman makes that another chance

 

26 5 Senses

 

Once inside deep in thought once outside

once inside longing and clamber round like a priest or soldier

now in the solitary hotel dissolving eye in the room centre

a pyramid to bury in water

4 points dissolving then a fifth

 

Cut of the sand came glass

with it you see

and when you get there

like the gap always time to take your rest until it's time

to hook up the wires intercept woe q frightened white ghost

that never parts

 

I was bringing down sheets rising feelings in the throat

tasting kisses

a sick child in London

grasping streaks a wailing slowly taste

the blood in both directions

I was lost in a car with no name

 

When the bell rings

I look at the sailing boats and back to the port

the limpid water darts by the boat

we slide softly against the sounds

the boat our bodies and listening to hearts

they cry pulsating with night the well of years

move with a bird cry triangles ring in your knees

Why not join taste and touch call them fire

call sound air. Smell earth sight water

Be a gentle screw fully stoned weeping for poison

Every one eats apples and treks along rivers

Taking nature to heart. Break up your body

like a text leaves will fall

you eat the apple walk across the river bed

blades of grass doing handstands like a bow

when distance increases

a mouth to mind, a mind to the senses

it must leave you

Morality ekes out to understanding

Earth air fire and water are understanding

The senses morality

 

A restless night working till dawn

I came in from outback trying to lose eyesight

swung it around while watching the rainbow

first light came early lifted

and I was on the air, rain and fire in a vacuum

Peace till stillness spun a breeze

I was moving too fast to alter course so I lost it

Swept out to sea and sinking

 

Flying reminds me of clockwork

the swimming pool flying from the tower

Roselands

closing in 10 minutes with a gulp of fresh air

So we dive in dissolving in the smell of chlorine

all I saw was the rainbow

 

Earth was making islands of fire

whiteman the moon in space

grew from womb to womb from ice to fire

But when I painted it out we all fell shapes in space

Some blue some brown some yellow some gold

Some black some red some pink

Some in dusk and some in dawn

 

 

27 RAINBOWS

 

I Watch rainbows catch night on South Melbourne beach

born in the air with moonlight red clouds and red rain

I can't see trees

the edge of within

climbing from roots to grey heaven

I cant put my senses out there

without falling

without eyes in the warm filament

under mountains

rolling dunes

in the hot centre of Australia

 

28 There were spots of light

 

There were spots of light travelling slowly in all directions

between me and escape

boy blue woman spreads her arms and the gate's wide

rides past in a car on the Hay plain to Adelaide 1964

bare feet up on the windscreen

apparitions of red socked ladies (the spears over the fence)

Can I have your ideals? Can I

Can I have some high heels come here

and visions of cunts on my face refuse to leave

Coming in the warmth of folding earth

Mountains mountains

Out here on the track looking over fertile plains

as sun sinks playing mouth-harp

looking for work picking fruit riding in a boxcar

with bob on a tramp

 

From waiting for the train in the Hay goods-yard

(drinking hobo tea tastes like mental with sweet honey on stale bread)

 

And climb to the cabin and crawl across New South Wales

All night the clicking of the train wheels

and the drowsy tramp's voice

a drone like gravel I'm so wide awake till the sun comes up

and we break into a carriage in the Hay goods-yard

 

The taree train was empty

so I sat out back watching sunlight and shadows

Every departure I heard of could not be talked

I knew too much isolation in later years left you levitating

Spinningh in Spring from rooms

One neighbour

hanging on the electricity from waves. No one spoke

another out to sea 1958 Swimming out to sea

till we got hired next monday morning with black sashes

 

It took me 15 years to trace patterns

to meet true lovers who come in the night

 

29 IN THE MORNING AWNING

 

In the morning awning your face in the clouds

balanced in rock

you fed the fire changing in the flames

life fluids to swim along valleys

walking the streets like robot

neon freak

horror noises down the hall I turn over to sleep

cant hide fear

levitating spiralling round the room

wakes to a sound

 

The system needs gods to do the deal but the future

how can you have a future without a past

answers winding past barricaded bridges

red morning light. It's the end of the world

flames rise to meet us

the waves of fear that take anyone in reach year by year

youre taken in stroking the fire like a pitchfork

laser beam red skull

 

When I can write my name would I try

I met her 6 times ten none

Yesterday I set them all free what's the use

trying again to be my own miscarriage

hands may be all that make me an afterlife

I'm stonebenge or matter

 

30 THE THIRD WORLD

 

Iy's getting cold and my eyes are opening

The thirld world's on the air. Africa rumbles

since childbirth in space

Humanity woman they'll sun up the west anyway

playing in brain radios

 

Trial run I'm on the air. The islands

as in the face of the earth

I drag, I'm iceberg plain as psychology each step

in a footstep to nowhere

three dollars a world Tequila and Absinthe Arlen abnd absense

retarded mechanisms

breathing and [eeking at China

Once twenty colours now fragrant

far white cliffs ic3

shifting shapes of violence try to kill flight going light

sees all changes of chemical environment

and longs to view the harbour

I placed all that I had all that I had

on the beam and weigh' it - not a scent

 

31 LAKES MARSHES

Lakes, marches: I keep putting hope in the future

When all I need is what changes

Time/Perception just procedures fields and crystals

++ + -- = + senses

as you slip away from infinity

words become worl;ds. solar system systems

and the universe no matter

I was climbing (snowy alps 1954) roof of the world

no trees no sun sense of air hurling stones

looking at the universe of verse

and the solar systems system

with infinite space puts me on helicopter foreverest

course where magnetic line broke the rail

the metal core of earth at its edge

I worke each metal to the bone

stood like a brass skeleton

Wa lking in Giacomettis dream looking for absolute realism

These lakes are remains of a deluge

hotels use them like Louisiana swamps

tourists all of us in swamp vessels overnight

with aeroplane engines and props

flying on the foam waves back from Bermuda

wet triangles on the skin

left behind in the present

where a man can live and never be found

and have no fear ...

I kept moving butread this slowly

there you are there you are there you are

let it butn I'm use to bloody fires

all the drifters are leaving smoke coming in the room

the TV explodes

People put their body in the head, no more looking

raze the towers we have no enemies just the s ies

break them apart.

And a snake coming in the room the fam ily's sleeping

violet dawn yellow/black scales

on the wax floor

Dont take away the oasis

these young girls have done 15 years

parallelogram pyramids building in caves

lapping underskin divers rising li e mercury

They gave me meat but I found they were offering

so when at froze a fire started in the backyard ablaze

along the wall

 

32 20 ideas

 

20 ideas now a fragmenmt

Then after white cliffs - ice

he tries to kill flight and goes light

The longer presence sees all changes chameleon environment

and longs to view in harbour sky

All that I have, all that I have

on the balance

 

33 AMUARKUAR

 

Paris is gone America took it and sheep from down under

the gold urge to settle

Suprised collecting grass for a home

on the border by underwater flower

Amuarkuar

took food from emty mouths

Beauty Happiness and Truth fell with society and nature in us

and passion's in them

Without society passing nature gioves man

and his nature wands to rule passion

Looking out at love void on a frensh balcony

nature's curse - society

Amarkuar almost insensible cults loose

 

34 Apparitions

 

That night I read apparitions by moonlight

and saw them

whisteling in the pines all night

jumping black ravens in the surf

Our one joy was meeting formless

on a candle lit ocean liner

swimming beyond the reef to the rivers

Each explorer each captive

heard footsteps in the stream

as it slows down to greet them

and the red dust rises

heatwaves are common

nobody scares easily here

light and sound

false gods of crestion

are now idols

language's last cry like geese

flying low over dover reaches the shore

 

35 A page from a green book

 

Hope creates a compass (energy systems)

setaerc you can see the ground

australia rock of ages past

telegraph poles are messengers of sound

electrical light as you look up

look

it's

the

evening star a

satellite to ride the 7 gods move along luminous heavens

the double bowl of eternity

fledgeling ultimate real sound

since man thought sound is slower than light

he had to be wrong

look

a morning star

night's become day

I listen can't hear you

now

gninrom evening

Mind Matter and Morality, the three other senses

always electrocuted in the second life

and morality is a gnawing tiger

simple shame of hunger

Together in the body they pyramid with spheres

dancing like a gyroscope in the brain

 

37 THE STREET

 

(leaving) Walk East down the hallway

Rt and up the stairs

Then turn left towards the light od west

I think of the station and the car

that never finds the station past society

houses are slowly washing in blood

the apex of shadows

 

Everything you do twice is known

When I started thinking I lost what I had

a last rainbow in your hair

it razed the forest of my face

trying to wash clean in the bath

 

Vic Violette art florest

he sprays me before he put the artist on it

a june shepherd

 

38 Venus de Milo

 

South 2 red jumpers a dove and a sparrow

In the night a savage

on the left Venus de Milo

on her knees

antique roaring rainbows heading south

Albert Park laundry

a brown truck to freedom

the rebirth of colour

is faster than time

moves on a hairs breadth of nothingness

becomes spectrum

 

4 doves fly south and arch to the east

flying over Biltmore hotel

a girl standing in the claw of longing comes to hover tales of woe

Facing south the spectrum of silver

might reverse politics

the diamond servant we all love

I adore you

like a shaggy green mistress electric

whose body looks right and left

sees a silver artists Buddha

or mysogynous parting delusion

Purple and red is the news & darkgreen

Barbed wire in the bath

 

39 Joan of Arc

 

Merlin St. the war goes on

like a white ash hindu

And there she is shaven head long black cloak cape

Joan of Arc

just a vowel seperates us from destruction

and eve heaved two wheels into a corridoor in space

finds heaven on earth

but if you put two wheels deep inside

heavens

it spins out of balance

for some it's a rose

to travel through

unravelling webs

nails pointing at you

negative of the universe sit it spiralling

to

find a dove in the home of the rainbow

 

40 Noitatropelet

Teleportation

 

Spiritual phenomena

to the troppics

to the poles

to the equator

look up explorers (on the equator goldenage)

on a gold whole universe

solar energy burning in the ocean

food for your sons

and daughters

Icarus with a new wax skin

Ancestors plotting our void

played out new forms of life

 

Thinking of how we only use 1/10 of the brain

went back to work

trust americans

to photograph traffic accidents in space

the 1st exploding galaxy picked up on the uv generator

the clouds of the universe hove

sculptors in the milky way

and carbon man

steps on the clouds limbless still feeding

an embryo sucked out of night

Is saving souls like finding time when you're born

emitting density with the ugly sound of scissors

or the legacy of misery

beyond the universe

 

41 FORM OF THE VOID

 

Which flower would you choose rising from a bath

walking in socks on water

along the ridge the purple ones

in the valley shimmering gold or black orchids

 

I reached the top of the cliff

face (ing south)

I climbed up and I ran across threads

and walked on hand in hand

knowing what was about to happen you shouted

and hit the ice face

you said Marx was a communist

 

She looked up with a wet mouth

and dug

your ankles in

 

42 Evolution

 

A time laden world (like a) cigar shaped raft

lady luck - you see it coming towrds you

and imagine when you see its cause

you don't know about wheels

you ride rivers

like sorcerers

here to take life and back into the body veins

childless forced into returning on earth

just rage

and a void for

a tilted black earth

 

43 Are you safe on a hill

 

Looking for an answer

greener field always where

like quails to 20th century whiteman

articled his art till it was worthless

Is it easy to see voices in the night

like all questions

its answer lies before it

 

44 A Worker in the West

 

Lights a match an watches it burn while they all look for A

absorbs the trucks out on the highway

absorbs his lunch, a pipe

heaven's for drinkers left out

pharoah and rails against me, I don't know who he talks to

 

Demi gods burn highways, rusty railings

When sight won't balance your eyes dim, chest groans

you spin off from the highway got no place to go your subject your

adverbs proverbs

interact on the ridge

 

The simplest ideas catch morality

with superimposition

there's no escape

 

The subjective mists of inherited culture

are the whispering

the limit and the balance

you slip into bed

 

The idea of writing puts ideas around you

but always it's done on the drone of trucks outside

Jean Louis Lebris de Kerouac

looks out through the blinds

and everyone still looks the same

 

45 A Look at the West

 

A stranger moves

back east back west facing the cold window night

while light ddances on the rim of the glass

in single steps the conjunction play the moon

 

Islands of dust are still sttling

back from the east

travellers bring heels of hash

 

It's time someone trapped ego on the frost

especially the law when they

made us defensive tv stars and asked us

not to answer

 

Would I look

at the boder s of heaven it's usual to lose sight

ti infinity deepens

arriving from the south

Like the eventual

jackfrost you call for a taxi

 

Take your pictures of the wall

a novel

(or) move you closer to death

than breathing

 

46 Western Man

 

Sympathetic concentration on a string of goslings

winging on the green sky

We all turn over in bed Origin man draws in his pillow

rides on the sounds of locomotives

or rockets in space

or missiles

destruction a task

The smell of coffee on your sloppy joe

the incense and ash

or

the night while you wait for a car on any highway

anyone's ghost over victory

it was easy to sleep in the day and march out convicted at night

 

Easier to learn life on steps

Throw a spear interwoven and broken

Like the Eskimo

Western man on ice and hunts the seal

He feeds Calcutta and hunts the quasar In the depth of knowledge no-one stirs

and like sighing

the sounds of a car are superimposed

a motto for western man

his weakness is only strength

 

47 A page from Q

 

When he was a boy he used to wait at a gate

waiting at the edge of the golf course moors imagery

The Earl King riding over the overhanging bridge

or walk along the creek with

an amphitheatre fantasies

and hidden movements

 

Without delusions

you breath in deeply

the patterns of Elders

Always returning in the airwayves

on frosty nights

After riding

On the cold dew

And staring at stars

Some are signals

Or freinds

suns

to pass through

your own eyes

 

It almost seems you can't have what you don't know

 

48 ART & LIFE

 

There's no limit to the number of sounds in the brain

Placing Mozart and the face of tradition together

as the music slows down does the sounds

pagan Maria looks at her body and evolves into space

hunger is a sheep[ and like thirst

it drains the body

and must sleep

to lie

with eyes open and rings on your fingers

sometimes the hands hand hed up

sometimes in sound

pale bands open your eyes

new senses?

new scientists?

piroueting deep breath

54 A.D. a thousand years from numbers

body moves without soul to the right to the left

Double Helix Mount Wilson Fritz Zwieky and Walter Baade

supernova Tycho Brahe Lev VAnou

50 waves leave you as you leave the house

carbon

explosions

a white dwarf

the hole of day alight

stir oxygen

no one doubts the birth of space

 

49 THE BIRTH OF BREATHING

 

blow the air away

for reaction ripples it kicks you back

till you weave

in a point

event horizon swallowed

all change a reaction is selection

 

it's like all things

you want to do must wait

 

50 Entering Within Without

 

privacy: We exactly miss hear what we read

ancient architectural fine arts

French windows and French doors

hello

I'm representing Australia today

on the radio

at the pictures

in the dark room

at the chemists

or visiting a gallery

or concert

 

a public rock concert? swimming and jumping

crowds

East virginia blows out the crowd

walking on air

humming for a while

drumming

coming on stage in white chariots

a fanfare

for a quintile

 

51 Raft Draft Blues

 

The senses make thought - we're all born in luxury

the 1st glow of thought forming llines without colour

occult reasoning

sweeps reason away to float homewards - her own sacred vice

 

Imagine a raft adrift on blue Botany Bay, Medusa's

or Dante washed off in the night

the enduring patience easing down

lady luck in the air

won't need sails

hope will fell you

wash your hands in the energy of the past

Surmount your future with energy of the past

surround your future with energy of the past

coming in from outer space After Art

 

I came out of the P.O. past the skin shop

2 people were sobbing faces fropzen in each others eyes

They're taking me back to Sydney tonight

2 waned suns

deep lomging at your dreamed death

all the voids are my future now without you

we resist music till there's colour lost on your postcard

with it you he should know

your plans are just ice

Green things on black stocking feet

art is meaning, another look at the void

(like) the wite beam of light

forever circling

 

52 New Spectrums on the damned

 

Pale sapless sky

Lights the dust on spherical hands

one direction north

Quiet clicking echoes on the pavement

A widow hanging onto a telegraph post coughs

soughing

in the quiet as if after deisels

 

53 WE SACRIFICE LIFE EVERY DAY

 

The distant fire of hades like a string of pearls

a flash of gunpowder or firefly's in flight

a shoreline getting closer

echo ferry ships

it's morning

The points of light pulsing flashes

draw you in

flying like pulsars light trails

white rainbows crosswaves

on land

I

a galaxy no number

(lands)

all the pulsars and galaxies and black holrd to finf

are like species, abroad in space

on soft lights glowing at the quay

or ages like the electronic age

or the ages ever changing focus

and as I look for longer in space

I'm facing south,

ears turned to the wall no self vision

these fires float south

to meet water?

melting after earths frozen stonaways

and you focus art past it

looking SE then SW

skywards

in the

Crucial seconds before midnight

as the earth changes day

Eyes open to the mistake

in the west orchids bruises on a slender form

Edison energy

when l eye scared and covered in wide eyes

& other optic blind spots

 

54 STEAMSHIP ORION

 

Steamship Orion moves like easter ghoston the bridges in the sky or here

Identity floats out of reach

if a versecan make universe

The galaxies of the galaxies

tender heat filled rhythmes sweet as wine

 

Watching those two small beams

through wave valleys

the galaxiy warmed me

the black holes are mirrors where mirrors

were

 

Spiralling rhythms of bodies when your breasts touched bodies

pure science

all body I stared

 

A new found lamb

your pasttimes the mesure

where you lie

as the poles melt like wax I go pale

Turning out the light

you talk

we talk

hours all nights night (and leg conversce functions

dizzy lights flicker or commentry)

to warm us

above the freeze

of the future

one's lamp on the body now on mind morality

 

55 Landscaping at the art centre

 

Every breath a scent at such times

comedy if only (we) breathed

 

The drone on the streets under the streemlamp

I can't balance actions

there's no fire hot enough

uv white runner revolving

 

The indigo pool room

the goods train

with a roof of rock

Reed St.

- you start humming

Hail cars street your high heels have courage

the metal messenger - with arZen tears

what can you save with a soul?

56 Panoramic (Hand) Screen

 

Monks before blood? and song when you come

Waiting for the train physical space begins to move

Get your drugs here this morning smoke valium

Leaving from the windo

The only one to smile when

it's

blasting area (switched out transceivers)

Map the carriage of art on the wires

Spires work from the e gauge

have landed on the ice age

come with trees

 

57 Time

 

Time directed towards ends that obtain themselves

the difference between utmnost nature

potential and sense induced mind

freeze reaction

 

All specific intentional cause

All non-specific cause adoption reaction

 

 

Man adopts - notions self discovery own structures

flow of brain patterns

limits - fantasised conditions of mind form

 

As time space moves away from your body in morning

& your body moves out in time space

you are blocking euphoria

 

Each telephone call, steet name

number city state land

your host

your ghost

a variable panacea entering the ozone

pulled back by the magnets of the metropolis

outer suburbia deserts and atreries

metamorphosis itself a dear lie like

the death of sound

60 Solar system imagery reversing connectios

 

you're looking for a word

you've thought of a connection

you have a meaning

yopu go back to the connection - reverse it

- reduce it

- increase it

You find a word

you take it back to the first connection

as you now see it a few seconds later

and place the two in relationship

then turn to your body senses

wich have influenced even caused all those connections

and slowing down on the wave of rising

ouy find another word

soiree of warm air

 

63 PAINTING THE DOWNFALL

 

Every time I go to the movies I cry

- the crossing of the red sea

lokking is fishing - colour coded people

After looking at this

with mind not matter

place experience in the agregate senses

crossing divisions or sense changes

 

Look at all the people

satire destroys humour and all wit (in it)

I imagine you don't know what's behind s you or beside you

or in front of you - architypal faces

Changing fields

twenty times enlargements are deliberately printed

to emphasise aberated images

interfaced residing in the third eye reason

 

I'm looking down the universe

plunging geodesic

Terrestrial science terrstrial images open their gates

Terrestrila planets are liminous blue

is colour a line?

 

64 Earthquake Week

 

Imagine the friction of an ice skete

and high petal notes

bands on the surface of balance

Unconscious at Ballarto

double vision

a patch at which

energy formed

& as it faded

I went back through

concepts from the

keep it going vis

a vis the body

 

66 From medicine to the Last Man

 

Put the black and white in here

you can put the planets

around your body

become the sun, the moon,

the galaxy

or light running forever round its rim

of energy and wood

organised

sleep anxiety

when

projections travel in the astral world

3000 year old travellor

the same ebb and flow

in your veins (between you and I self concepts)

 

The only knowledge we have in real terms

we learn from the total world

art and the icycle fusion

of sensory

the art of fusion and the sensory icycle compleat

 

A first decision to stop must always be obeyed

it leaves you exhausted (although you try to stir

what you know is the balance

you already altered yourself.

As you write the ( directional word)

the identity words (I you) create simple

rhythms (alternating, spiralling) there need a new

non-time dimension to function usefully

70 Rainbows

 

High frequency honesty's gone

the rain line abandoned

the city penetrated

 

The red square of time elliptical interwoven

altering permutations energy directions

in the west

 

L - scared by sound

lands on romance

skin licks in the dark

given Ataraxia

 

71 Sound in G

 

Dividing your vision

you peer at your thoughts

in a sense

energy creates its own destruction

and you construct

your own waves

self sufficient without man

metal children sleeping

in the bars now

to free you

all meanings resolving

all forms of basic drive

in the zodiac

the natural fourth sign a junction

of self concepts

 

(what you think of for the future

you don't need in the present)

 

and thinking of doing something

is having done it

as you spread meaning with direction

links with music

interrupts her

 

72 Western Man

 

In the heart of the flame sound

in the heat of sound space

through the lens of colour eye

through the ear of self man is heat

 

Western man rides the waves with avid eyed children

trailing servants bootlicking for a meal

riding to the dance

scared of strangers

might touch me or pick me up

 

The rhythms of the brain leave

hands or arms to freeze

the rose garden of reason

thorns roses gardens, a mind loses flying through

till rhythms you hear see feel

It rushes through your lungs

is the brain interacting with energy

warming your hands

and day and night become one way to sleep

 

73 To poets of words and pictures

 

Where is your body?

Without fear you are here with yourself

you are the

dream the

scream the

space the place where you wait

to be found

bodies and bodies of energy dreams

Escaping truth and trust

gives you away

your love and the dove she kept

still hovers in my mind

your religion

is my lost fear

you (linkwait)

you possess each other yourselves

as if energy

was creatable

 

All artists without audiences

are hungry looking for

all dreams truth

are fearful (time)

and all your systems are sailing

divide your systems

 

74 The day they drowned the movies

It doesn't matter what you think

you can always think it again

balance mind and matter with morality

Scene Luna Park

you're just another runner in the night

twisting time

it was like a dream

your like a lunar tune

you are already everyone else

 

you're telling too much

on a window ledge

when there's no window - that's

growing up

 

Ideas are the bridge between opposites

the ideas in art are themselves opposites

 

hold your breath and touch ground

there is no idea called time

love your friends

quell fear and relocate freedom

there are no heroes

The three worlds are

the one dimensional

the two dimensional growing like a tree

The tree dimensional

The past - in the future of morality

 

75 The River

 

She is your body, you can't break her

these times are new

you are your mother

and your radio

you are every other artist

surrender your shows if you still believe in choice

cheer the earth

as it goes

looking

for answers already in the wind

stirring the water

with a rippling wave

 

The records play in many times

you to her

him to you

you to you

in at on

divide multiply add

save the triangle it's time to circle her

76 To Angels

 

 

Signs are the end of Masochism avenue

All the streets deserted

your name is a marble dome stroking the sky

but that's not your bones

blue walls carpet covered tracks

the only real emergencies are for accidents

you're like a locomotive movie

loading

at the station

travelling on the tune

broken on the beach

you play with pride

we're all mister galaxy shaking hands

with empty gloves

drunk like gipsies

looking for spirits

 

There is no night in the southern hemisphere

just a field where every memory

gambles with truth

and words are a picture

Matter and mind create morality

giving and taking are finding

77 A letter scent

 

Y you have no fear, morality is giving and taking

all imagery and energy is dimensional

you are three dimensional

The three dimensions of reality are time

if you read texts backwards you

get the pattern imprint

we make a language connection system

by both being alive. Separated (impossible)

we would have to rely on sense input connections

(alone in someone elses world)

How do they get you to forget that it's

your world not theirs (fear)

78 Time (2)

 

What was your face doing on the coast

a foreigner you thought

I'll take your home

Love our daylight till I come

I'm coming up to you

I'm coming up to be true

 

I've done you all my life

now I put you in my pain

 

Don't you know I survived

threw out all your friends

to hear you

obeyed to the letter Heart

 

Tear out your heart

the big parade of tears

a knock out for the Mars interests

aint jocking when people are starving

that's commonly known as

faith hope and charity

 

79 Instant Sight

 

There are +

same people around

playing gentle music

scent

In the mars life

We must be able to remember

The insurgent this one

it ends

with us

Space not speakers

look for yourself and hear yourself

 

Being true to yourself

society puts you

in the mind

all course is in the immediate present

You find yourself in others

they are already

you (time is now paintears created still water)

To beleive everything because it's true

Put ideas that worry you

into (balanced sound and light)

 

You can't reverse things

you just don't do them

There is no past or future

but the present is

man the you can see

All anxiety passes when you let it

*

79 Heart

We are all time travellers

were and are fluid

erring and stirring

through streams pools marshes

water everywhere

The only conscience you can be

is your own

The great glass in the heart

came the heart of the world *

 

80 if you can't find answers ask a qustion

 

if thy're done now well it's not by you

I can't keep gold necklaces

seeing the rings on my fingers

my hands in emerald light

 

See invisible spheres on the page

I let Merlin shake me down

till I trembled

I came in to sleep like a wanderer

and lay down to sleep

But I began to shake up to the roof

with jewel forms and rings

the droning ports of call kept my eyes open

till the last silent note

and fell on the bed in a daze

 

Everything is a proposition

Why? everything that's done is proposed to be done

 

81 A Grey colour

 

Mercy in jail is a heavy load

ringing power

never come here

powder makes you bitter

the streams of medicine from the north

Without memory

I might look at sculpture's

clumsy form

why they bother to turn out all that form

ignore day and shadows fading away

around us all

around green people

sweeping round Sydney

bitter zombies - green drug users

left a black and white day

to sleep in e chords

always alone like U

 

82 Where are you bound

 

2 dimensions are intentions (signs)

3 dimensions are identity (sounds)

all 2 D pictures can be sees as 3D

if you focus on the eyes

Not necessarily with the aid of music

but by grading the focus of

the photo (seeing with 2 eyes) you see 3D

( I can tell you now)

if something scares you

look it in the eye

and give back what you owe

 

The backwards meaning

 

infusion on the water

with scent - no carnivals

no no no no

if I dont believe you must be backwards

if I do I'm not forwards

so I have one way

 

83 The Watchman

 

The watchman is

blindness

magic is

Merlin on Tallahassie bridge

You can come to me now

slip your hand through the jasmine

no lie

 

Stay in one of the rooms

they've all got rainbows for your highway

and your hexagram

 

The plan is taped to the wall

above the writing desk

I did it for you

I'm singing day by day

sailing, crying, running

What is truth to you

your shake and jig

but it's no medecing show

it's a truth show.

 

84 Alienation

 

following the news

& thinking it out

turning of all the power

sounds

changing to the telephone

or else a few doors

the air flows

a floating radio

 

85 Memory

 

The blinds now on the floor

reacted

repeateed - memory floors tonight

now lying in a dream

till I find you dancing

in stranger arms

I guess my deserts come

to this

words that pass why with

weak ribs explaining noises

is a dancer to be seen

as sound rivalling sound

with noise

86 Causeway

 

Something strange place

at midnight I got hit

by tremors all over

'the heat rises to a dizzy height sweat like blood

running of my face

my chest and the red t shirt

I can't stop

calling stop

calling for help

 

Now in the morning I'm frozen

seeking to know

less than skin

and bone

black tears don't fall

I'm huddling by the radiator

to warm up again

87 Austral Moon

 

The ferry sets sail

landscapes tried for conscience

dark echo jetty

Waits while ferry arrives

to take from bleak land

Spun around swallow lands

overalls to wear

on stairs

Cold breeze by the Fugo Maru

meaning unknown anchor hangs like a jail

I need a new start like you

brief nature rain dashed

sits on the rails and asks

What price freedom?

 

88 Station street

 

on the station

the bell rings on Name alley

The peace dove haunts our visitor

a speeding train on the outer line never stopping

Sounds fall out of the air to make ideas

that steam by the pentangle family

shunning past

 

like me she waits on the left and leaves early

Appealing to people who think

misses trains

like January eyes in windy days

or a scrawled message's meaning

 

Circular Quay station steps and the next ferry from this side

out on a wharf blue gulls

glide and argue the waves

 

Won't need eyes to feel frigid

sitting on the old seat memories

and heat aches spiralling

ignoring your Kashmir hosts

who seem to know you

 

89 The Planets (your heaven)

 

Down at the bay

Venus breaks another egg

I'd eat anything for you sometimes

you are on the oasis

your love is your love

all you see

these tears

for you

You don't know this basement

where I been

No Broadway streets

Alienation you're on the ground

Shaken like a baby

 

I'm stalkin to your door

freezing out here

it's raining too

the vermilion evening's

breath

 

Saturn hears

The sounds of the news out on the street

Jupiter here to stay

Mercury Mercury your zephyr

high and flying

zodiac river sleeping in summer

zodiac river like strolling wonder

or a running widow

a sleepy dream

 

90 Time(3)

 

Time taken to see the myths

Today orange green and red coming of

The age

has to go

every particle

idea in the

brain can

be mushroomed

you feel under the

felt

spiralling to a point

 

Keep rearranging everything that you know

you can do

 

Quantity is a vanity

.... theory I left them now

1 meaning out of a million

the last to fall,

the 1st cause

1st sin

 

I went to the beach

like a saint'

to the snow

 

I saw my old friends on the edge of ecstasy

finding out was at

the beginning not the end,

prayers for meals

The compass points to Williamstown

A compass (ship)

coming North West

West North

 

Before growth / growth

birth's accomplishment

The closer your are to things

the better they look

A lesson is

less on truth

Destroy destroy

 

91 Ist Slow airwaves

 

what I feed into word systems

And talk with my thoughts on the airwaves

It's the difference between intuition and action

We're on a wavelength to broadcast

Free on the ebb and flow of thought

They've got the first slow airwaves on the air now

sad drowning notes that break like waves at sea

a rolling wall of sound

 

92 To Painters

 

Always choose the easy

ways

change your minds eye

till you notice

it's a rehearsal

get ready to get by with exhilaration

in lieu of hope

by adjusting distance with (eyes)

 

A message from the house

that plays all night music

all night long

In time like music

by balancing methods and materials

by association (for accuracy use rules)

Using the 1st chance

(by example a moniter keeping hands and brushes clean

by acting closer to the picture

 

The longer you leave the idea

the better it gets like ice cream

or painted still water

glassy eyed

work in/on stages till you cancel elliptical opposites to be bridges

by 1st apprehension

 

Work quickly and confidently

feeling the way

ideas are no more than patterns

cheap at 1/2 the price

 

93 Nature of painting

art is like science

as colour drains earth you are space

a nearly blind wanderer

each nine like nature mocking art

when we run out of reach of reason

and each other

she touches your body for being atomic

till you cant work at all

live for art you say

a chilling love that burns out afterrnoons

and sleep like a light while/?

you learn about the minds alive

feed it staying on a thought

till you learn about the body

xxxxxxxx?

preparing your temporal sentiments

till its poisoned and work on green

praying for accidents till fatality like dread

meets you half way with a guide

brings you back through spheres

that touches your body

 

94 Sketches

 

Colour mystifies. Energy in sympathy creates low energy area

-ve to object of sympathy (+ve)

Slowed time sense creates +ve energy

Morality creates other possible worlds.

Reality is an illusion (proof: experience of the void)

Meat activates the unconscious mind (main variable)

Creation - asleep, creates image

word - thought - power to create (dream)

the double illusion good/reality awake/asleep etc.

Heat creates thought

loud sound has no density

3 experiments 1 food 2 door 3 energy

3 converging streams imagery, colour, meaning (containment) Origins

Space and time are indefinite

Biological systems function as clocks

Rubens in the morning awning

Renoir yr face in the clouds

Resnais Merlins ring at the bottom of sea

Robbe-Grillet to balance this with rock is I guess

the emergence of women rock stars

Crime of love did Rimbaud write for the final rebirth

The system needs gods to do the deal

Man/woman to keep the bargain

But he'd previously looked into the xxxx?

written his poetry into the future

Stones Back to a bed of pebbles? how?

underwater
