BLUE COUP D’ETAT

imagining a face

early abstraction when I only had two colors

another on the abstract face side

I drew most of the stuff that I’ll post on little tiny pieces of paper with markers when I was unemployed for four months in the year 2000.

Meant to show you something else but I love this, so beautiful and incomplete. Hope you enjoy. Running out of batteries right now, gotta hurry.

A spike in her chin, two studs in her nose, two-tone hairdo maroon and black, matching lipstick, thumbs open Beyond Good and Evil, first page tough page, haven’t read it but I’ve read some Fredrich, “We knowers in honeybee hives of knowledge know not what we know” or something like that. She’s lingering, struggling with that first page. Finger to eye, thumb to ear listening to a Walkman floating in noise narrated by Nietzsche. I’ll have to read that page. She was still on it when I got off to catch the express 3 train…

Ender’s Game
i buy this book for lots of people
heard wolfgang peterson is going to direct a movie version
that is disappointing
but read the book
a real page turner

The roulette wheel of faces screeches to a halt and begins again until one day you can’t take it any more, you try to stop the mechanism by throwing wrench in it, removing chance when you can’t stand having that face in any hands but your own.

The blue retinal stripe that occurs at the meeting of two shades of turquois causes me great pleasure without making me smile.

This one goes out to that lady with the yellow summer dress with pink and green flowers, a fake fur coat, purple gloves, blue jeans, and gold shoes with the fifties style look, a tan and a wedding band.

Accidently erased this! I think I wrote something absurd; probably. Anyway this was revised and now erased and now reposted. It is weird to look at myself in all these old tapes, actually kinda scary to see myself from seven years ago. Even scary to see myself from yesterday, at least sometimes it is. Today it is but I won’t get into it. FORWARD as Derek would say.

*****Special thanks to Joe for his astute observations which made this piece much more comprehensible (it still might be incomprehensible but just imagine what it must’ve been like before!)

More stuff, this time it is leaving home. Leaving the nest, getting kicked out of the nest. 1999. July. Colorado.

This is a little rough cut with some music from LOTRANE. It is a poem about swimming and bloodshed. And it isn’t done. “Pretty vague, I like it” to paraphrase Ken Jacobs. And weird.
