Vespers (62)
did not like very many
times I went to sleep
did not sleep
appeared to while
a prayer perhaps
did not like
lying parallel to
my sketch
artist's rendering
as seascape maybe sea pearls
seasoned selves away
a creche for each
this prospering this
dance of elfin thinking
melded as in drum's pale thrum
with distant
tiny melody

Oh! Betsy
How I love you
you are like a cat chasing pigeons
we should make our testimonials
officious
We must sit by the sea
(which is your toe)
and indulge in high tea
Mackerel and curds for you
and for me
Testicular to jugular
the punch of your teeth
Do you remember trees?
I'm so forgetful
You must have
Alzheimer's Disease
I have a telly in my belly
and this is why I have Tourette's,
this or financial traces.....
A life by unreal beaches.....

I shall turn to my dictionary, as usual to try to find something inspiring to write about. Other than, that is, I say, to sound rather literary, the usual concerns of Internet poets. You know; images, sound, John Cage, Pop Music, video, experimental poetry, and social, predominately Western issues such as overtly scientific cultures, the increased use of technology and the effects of "globalisation", etc. etc. And, of course poetry and the Internet!
I could use Wikipedia (TM(?)) but I prefer to use a real dictionary. I like to touch the paper pages and the feel of it. I wonder what will happen after people get fed up of video, sites such as YouTube (TM(?)) and others may feel the pinch of a square inch. Ironically, or not "streams of consciousness" or "automatic writing" is just rambling. They didn't evoke the word "prolix" for nothing. I've only ever read the word prolix twice and the second instance is here.
Now that I am an artist and not a poet, even though I arrange letters like some kind of painterly pattern, I find the best poetry I write is immediately after dancing. This is because when I am dancing I am happy, so then I am able to write something happy rather than the usual boring groans and grimaces of poetry.
The problem with symbolism in writing is that we don't need symbolism represented by words any more. The symbolism that is conveyed by literature is now a pitch here or a pitch there. The automatic novel of the Internet (Television and mobile phones can be included in this equation), although best regarded as a theatre, by its artificial nature, has tried to reproclaim the experience of the subconscious, dreams and symbolic imagery, therefore rendering the "authorship" of writers unnecessary.
Why should an author tell the audience what it is like to experience something, that the reader can either create for himself (in a more apprehensible or "pure"(see Surrealism") way) or experience via the Internet, cinema, advertising, etc. in a similar, if vicarious, manner? Text is now better employed as a form of the visual arts, giving a cogent directness to concepts.
Of course we will write, as I am now, because of its directness, its clarity of expression. But writing changes as the times change. Although our times all too often change rapidly, in a rather circular or senseless manner, creating poetry that reflects this by creating a nonsensical, complex pattern of rambling half-suggested ideas, only reflects (and to some,exacerbates) this phenomenon. If poetry forgets that it must communicate its messages (poets' concerns are the concerns of all of us) then we may have no new poetry at all!
Fitting then, that I should end my poem here......

“por no”: Shocking first long-album of Colombian singer Innita.
“por no”: Shocking first long-album of Colombian singer Innita.
Current mood: artistic
Category: Music
Wednesday, june 18th, 2008.
This early morning, the Colombian singer Innita do a short comeback to public arena and shock-press-conference at Santa Marta, Colombia, releasing officially "por no", her first long album, following the successful 2006's debut EP called "innita". Her new album's tunes are stronger, heaviest, more in styles like ebm, joan jett's riffs, long guitar solos and thus, less in Pop. In the cover of this conceptual album she is wearing nothing but a pair of vegan boots, which have created all kinds of comments after her daddy's ballet-dancer girl image 2 years ago. "por no" is now all-free download, featuring today the first single "Mozart was a lesbian" which is the opening-song.
Innita said she abandoned her studies 3 months ago after a happy incident , , and then it was inspirational for working in full time of composing and writing of this 20-songs album, which deals about "mental nudism, emotional menstruation and scarlet fairy-tale characters as veganvampires" in her own words. About the explicit photo of the cover, she says is a "universal homage to nature and personal homage to 'Puss in Boots', one of my favorite tales".
"por no" : the uncensored cover.
A long interview will be published anytime soon.
In her myspace site, from today, there is available 5 tracks (3 of her debuting 2006's EP), free to download.

Slumbers
lay zee ness is
the twi lit turn, could
murder
Mordred fahrenheit
Excalibur; Heck! That's ex
pensive Vietnam
purros back
stroke to front
scissors, sidewind suture massage
to break a leg fractus is a lack of oestrogen
a bridge to a brick
a broken cloud
to a town a sliver
ring lining. Jaguar
Some time off would be nice
in lieu paid?
of course, but yesterday
could have likened your
to history
misanthropy anna
Conda abstains
from anything lazy
like Beethoven
or reporting history, feministic
yesterday I could have been
in nice or naples
my niece has nipples
a heist implies pimples, solipsistic
dribbles past the escort
Tina conned roast mutton
brazil nut
button, Pippistrelle, three minutes
brake pad aloof
an instant leafy
folds Flickr dither
dongle trickle
pickle insight
outsight Austwich
light switch
stabbing mugging, two minutes forty nine
living loving fucking
trucking;
So lazy you couldn't do your coat up;
this lazyness
is catching like footinmouth dis
easy chairs premier place
Philip Glass sucker punch
you went to a disco
lazy lazy lazy
your pigeon hole
(lazy expression)
is full of work, 3 minutes late
There is no measurement in deed.
The more I write the more
I realise I have no beginning
middle nor end
Immortality? A strange road
that doesn't lead to roam.
Finesse sounds final
like tranquility, fiscality
not all roads lead to Rome
but words travel
to the same start, end
and middle
sleep, 8 hours, nightly
irreverent, ballsy, contentious
deep and luxurious sleep, deadline
where time
melts like the whores in
the Bayeux Tapestry
and with ease slips
down curious windows
widows, back-lit spiders
a drama greater than PhotoShop (TM)
words get muddled
a sleepless sleep (marketing)
a bad place to somnambulate
our island off the East Coast
of America
slumbers in dawns
that speach
the repetitious, the repetitious
page after page after page
I'm lazy slumbering
dancing, talking, smoking
drinking, eating,
fucking, reading, learning
grieving
not working
(money?
I never mentioned it!)

British MP talks of New Renaissance in The Arts
Recent article from The Guardian, concerning arts funding in UK. Astonishingly, the MP in question seems to have a profound understanding of the arts and even talks about a "New Renaissance"! Well these are strange times and anything can happen! He even talks about a multi-million pound investment in UK arts! This is difficult to believe in the current economic climate, however we can only wait and see!
Oddly, there have been snippets of good news over recent weeks, common sense that in the UK we haven't witnessed since the beginning of Tony Blair's reign. However, these are only a few instances of positive news amongst reports of impending recession, public service funding cuts, redundancies and increasing home repossessions! One must remain forever hopeful!
It is also important to recognise that the Renaissance in the 1500's, largely concerning the rediscovery of Greek texts, affected many more areas of intellectual life than the imaginative arts. For example science and the humanities. In fact, its legacy has probably affected all areas of Western life, ever since. Indeed, an artistic Renaissance would be very unlikely to remain independent of other areas of thought.

Fast, Ambience
Short animation, taken from one of my digital art pictures. No sound.
-Unfortunately uploading an AVI file to Google means that I've lost some of the animation. But it still looks quite good!
Thank you
