efficient illusions

do not self-create:

their use-able victims
need to be logically produced
for whose ideological/theological
benefit?


unpenetrated conventional disguise

divides
divides
divides

tastes all states
harvests all seeds
destroys all roots

All New Andreas - Another Leap Year goes by

December 24, 2008

the shot I heard here on christmas eve

that chased away all my birds
feeding on their wild bird seeds
a feeding interrupted

that reminded me
of universal barbarians
that succumbed to total illusion
followed by total destruction
christmas 1944//1945 in Berlin

when the basement shook
when bombs and their detonations
blew out window frames
and the straight christmas tree
tall as the living room
fell flat onto the floor

that was before or later
when Berlin's night sky
was burning ...

the rest is hidden in books
of dictators and popes
of their theories and statistics

and
if you look
black and white pictures
of flattened churches

Now not so new illusions
are upon us in 2008,
again!


christmas

lives via one of those many strategic games

that
what "makes" you - with permission-
feel good

like Halloween
a face altering mask

a tactic
a reform
to adjust your face
as per the designers' orders

very much organized not by the calendar
but at their
request

a sort of hidden but real war
that "makes" pleasures

it appears

so called "good"
delivers itself

hidden
masked

from within
some "uniform"

that talks
commands

the ever to be repeated
sentence

ideas + bodies


ideas add bodies
ideas need bodies

ideas become bigger,
doubling themselves
by substituting, eliminating bodies

words produce ideas
words metamorphose same ideas

recruit masked task managers
tactics of shock

thus zero level
Good and Evil 1945
meets its good and bad partners
in 2008:

words within histories of speeches:
an act desiring consequences

and all history
all of history
as if by designed plan

a super sized
one way relation:

idea minus 'all' unwanted bodies

compared to language

beauty IS complete
even from a distance...

beauty touches
as if already as nearby as a kiss

but then language...
a totally irresponsible intervention
of an invention


so when the boy learned and learned
THAT language
traveled to that country

voila
the boy found beauty and more beauty

not an influence
but an identity lived

experience beyond language


separation of state and language

as if not to enclose
people
in a system


like the rain forest disappearing
turning into flat earth surface
following instrumental language intrusions

when

my parents went to the forests
to collect mushrooms, berries and bird songs

when my father saw a landscape, found a motif
for his water colors or his oils

I always watched the relation
between the landscape
my father's eyes
and what he then drew
painted on paper


this sort of watchful patience
that nature gives you
while you see the grass grow

birds sing for you
while the whole landscape
arrives at your father's hand


language was never as innocent

all language preceded

my birth,
a leap-year boy
born head first,

at home,
in my mother's bed

in my home-town
that was utterly destroyed
by a dictatorship married to the church-
then both vanished


followed by yet another language
yet another ideology


you learn about language
by what language does to you,

what language itself claims
it can do to you


language creates its agents
from simple boys to giggling girls
teachers professors

soon you learn ideological nonsense
gods that agitate from behind thick walls

the masters of language
play and scheme


and soon the boy sees the stage
hears the words

and turns away

walks walks walks
away


a label

fuses with another label
and now two labels
are supposed
to be a fusion
five thousand years old

all to facilitate distribution of legal tender
money

never mind who labels with whom and why
grammatically correct

never mind on behalf of whom
whose honey


-

and words

and more words
populate ever more stages

as if worlds lords quasi popes
perform play
Humanity


language is so cheap

it reduces everything
to words

-

there was peace

before
communication
entered
into language's utopia

systems claim their language space
a room that studies adores loves hates

walls' unending limits

endless pleasures
extracted from prohibitions

surrounded by public opinion

a sort of an always unaccountable religion
that picks surprises

opinion's language
a genderless non-communication
but a poison
thick with weapons of words

gender trimmed people
pick up opinions
carry words
from mouth to ear

christmas
yet another command:
hail complicity

dec 21st

was for two hours under the sun
sitting on my garden bench

minus 25C

but with the reliable
sunshine
I'm always the boy I used to be
going skating sitting outside
the waiter serving warm drinks
boys showing off their pullover
their skills on ice

their laughter and love


this week I will start a few geranium seeds,
the sun is rising again,
days are getting longer-
reliable change

Change

applies only to identities
their roles can change

yes, one can change change change
identities

yet it is meaning itself
that may be refused

study languages

careful
while words pretend an order


when my hometown stood in ruins
it was language preceding all bombs
that set the theater
for all destructions
as if by "poetic force"

those who put their words
in a certain order-
attempts at meaning

soon reorder their words
to attain a meanness
that confines
their identity

never to be commensurate
with the young
project of democracy

Life! -24C feels like - 37C

I'm probably ten years with this homepage-and internet-mail provider,
but today everything
was shut down, even their homepage, my domain,
mail-server, homepage, blog, the works.

But now everything is working OK.
Thanks!

Also, today,
my other internet provider is down,
because of the 95 year hotel burning down last night,
so their recording said...

Yesterday I got more bird food delivered;
today I have well over a hundred sparrows
in the garden;

but it's sunny,
the birds move between feeding on the ground
and back to resting in the trees.

One deer was here,
but left again when I went outside:
humanity already trained them
to be afraid, very afraid
of humanity...


Human Language IS
the mother of all violence,

so kindness remains speechless,
rarely practiced,
yet accused of
a sort of queer poetry in motion,
especially in these parts

and about 10-20 cm snow

while
I removed some snow on the southside
where I can sit in the sun at any temperature
if and when the sky is blue

one sparrow - sweet
sparrow talk, a few sweet sparrow notes

I understood

and as soon as I had cleared the snow
off some ground

I put out some wild bird feed...

and soon after
in full sunshine

there where a hundred sparrows,
I counted to fifty and then another another
another

and more and more hungry sparrows
in minus 45 C weather

now here in this area we got the most sunshine in the country

and while I sit under the sun
around noon or so

under the sun
all these sparrows
sit up there in the trees

have a community sing-in

non-eroticized, apolitical
propaganda free

money free entertainment

under free sunshine

extremely peaceful
bird twitter
about this and that

-33 C. Feels Like: -48 C.

never ever

am I
a part,
in a play of me

no art
no trap
no part

my own

freedom

always here
only my very own now

nothing abstract,
no past no future

no speculative sacrifice
no lie spinning words, beLIEf

no theme, game, blame
fictions, frames that hope

only my own
always now

when we boys studied

history

we noticed the rarity of democracies

and some saw,
victories and failures of papacies
where others saw, failures and victories of the above

yet other boys
always kept their mind unclogged

unharmed by intrigue-
propaganda's love
advertised as if free from hatred

before the world had ended

the dictator shot himself

and the great demontage took over

and later, when we boys played Monopoly
we were always reminded of that simulation
of real world worthless money

when no food nor electricity nor heat
were purchaseable


too much sport

creates non-thinking:
a win an always one way outcome

to train for
to apply
another set of language

to the 'other' side
yet to be made invisible


as if language 'sings' of the invincible

but language lives off an invented faith
words believe in

language games
within propaganda

a kid's games

a sport
enforced

kids
abused
impressed
repressed
controlled
via language games

language transports series after series
of lies into adults

-belief's propaganda
propaganda's beliefs-

all mediators stage and act a spectacle
swim on hope's fictions
