Synchronicity

i looked at when the futurist manifesto was
1909
1999
i thought of my grandfather, Ulysses, at Fiume with Marinetti, D'
Annunzio, and of the other ancestor Federico Da Montefeltro & the
beginning of the Renaissance!

i looked at the energy the futurist movement brought to the century the
energy of change
charged with the wrenched blowing of a stifling stifled body
a tortured torturing energy of laceration on the way to laser-ration, the
machine projecting forward & the human anguished cry mixing
with the roar of the mechanisms

foretelling the fight between things that had always connected:
like ART & SCIENCE
look at art
intuitively
manifesting the mold through the rendering of the essential
weave of People—the living essence
putting the imprint of that essence out in the ether
forming the mold then to be filled by multiform spirit
and SCIENCE
being the first to follow:
look at the mosaic of the Middle Ages in which the quivering image is
made of many unique different texels and each texel alone is just a
fragment
all this telling us HIS-TORY ...
Then Giotto creating the concept of depth, of perspective, by mirroring the
vision coming out from the eye of the watcher, for the first time the
individual as centerpoint out of the mosaic,
that evolution created the new mold that Copernicus could then fill
realizing that conventional reality after that looked too flat!! ...

Then perspective started to snowball ... With man self-elected MASTER OF
creation ...
THE PRICE???

The use of tribal motifs seems to be a spear hurled by Picasso in his
opening attack upon the walled citadel of perspective and casualty.
Umberto Boccioni, an Italian futurist, summed up the feelings of the new
century artists when in 1911 he declared
"We are the primitives of an unknown culture"

In order to get the formidable concepts of the new physics, it is first
necessary to let go of the belief that continuous linear space underlies the
objective world, that time is an everflowing constant stream outside human
affairs, that the world exists in the tessellation of the perspectivist grid.
All these deeply ingrained beliefs were part of the conventional
nineteenth century paradigm.
The are not, however, integral to the next higher dimension of spacetime
or the alogical aspects of quantum mechanics.
"THE WESTERN ARTIST DISCOVERED A NEW WAY TO SEE THE
WORLD THROUGH THE EYES OF THE ARTISTS OF AFRICA, THE AMERICAS &
OCEANIA BEFORE PHYSICS BEGAN TO UNDERSTAND A COMMON
BOND BETWEEN ITSELF AND A WORLDVIEW LONG EXPRESSED
IN TRIBAL CULTURES" "ONE COULD SAY THAT THE IDEAS OF
MODERN PHYSICS ABOUT SPACE & TIME WHEN CLOTHED WITH
CONCRETE PHYSICAL FORM APPEAR SHAMANIC"

T I M E   I S   N O W

The war has been going on; the broken circuits and the natural and
unnatural disasters and genocides of all kinds have taken place
only after the living through of the lacerations the survivors connect
wounded warriors with heightened speeded grooved connections

this new dance of erotic connection begins
erotic creation, the attraction that moves the planets
technology mirroring hu-manical hard drive
and the circuits start buzzing,
you can choose the speed, activate the links, decode and encode, and...
"flow the blood the D.J. says"...
...
where to?

speed through the fusion points, bounce back hitting the nose
that damp vital spot, old sniffing tool,
on those silent dull dark rubber walls
that bounce you back over and over...
or on those sharp knives that pierce always in those dripping live
festering wounds
...where to?

your tools sharp but distorted
in the confusion between torture and nurture
...where to?

the energy coursing leaps out of the narrow gorge, creates multi-pathways
across the broken circuits...GO

...SHIFTS to the tingling hot slow glowing rising grooving overflow

HOW CAN YOU TELL WHERE YOU ARE AT?

beyond the fragmented mirrors of vivid dancing reflections in confused
fierce struggle?

THE FLOW AND THE LINKS SHOW YOUR ATTENTION WHERE TO
POLARIZE
until the magnetic attraction of the flow to itself
speeds up, deepens the groove, burning all that needs to be burned
but struggle spreads like fire on fuel
fire always burns but there are different kinds of fires

in the shifting fine tuning of discrimination,
elusive dance of shadow and light,
echoes the laughter of the sacred trickster

FEEL AGAIN

where it's at...???
constriction and flow
death urge and life urge
torture or nurture?

they rhyme
but take a different line

feel
IS IT FINE?

there is erotic constriction and erotic flow

POLARITY?
this choice is yours...

is it?
