the world of eternal babble
a cacophony of sounds
each subsequent voice
of less intellectual rigour
nothingness as art
even the twirp of a swallow
particularly if its being eaten
by its young means more
with its shrieking agony
each searching note
extending the last
like sending life lines
to long buried protoplasm
the seeds of doubt
extend to the past
how history will judge us
our moronic vision of
manufacturing bombs
& uprooting our garden.
[this] = [this]
words are transpersonal, circuits
aboutness
parataxis hypotaxis
I see Julia on the hill
There are dice in her bottle
liminal, littoral, overlapping
stuff
[this] not [that]
prosopopoeia
perelman lacan
reconfiguring unforeseeable wholes/
holes
an eschatogy of absence
the homogenising of infinity
Ontological Undecidability
Today Toe describes himself
as a philosophical anarchist
his empirical knowledge of speed
cameras & police drug sniffing dogs
have lead him to conclude that the
external world does play an active role
in our experience. A posterior reasoning.
Paraphrasing from his hard thumbed copy
of Kant's Critique of Reason Toe attempts
to explain the concept of the Transcendent
Analytic: 'This tree of a poem is 120 feet tall'.
He utters other random thoughts beyond our
comprehension: 'The mind actively generates
perception. The authority claims of the state need
to be weighed against the autonomy of the individual.
What can we really know? Is what we see real or
merely phenomenal contents of our mind?' He
opens the fridge and examines a longneck. 'The
Paradox of Schrodinger's Cat posits that you
may have contributed to the uncertainty principle
that some things which happen in reality cannot some-
times be explained due to lapses in our knowledge'.
Rat, Pud & I nod our heads. Rat says unpretentiously,
'If you say so, Toe. Pass us another one, will yeah?'
