i like getting them from god, as if through that pale sky a finger touches my eye and i am warmed by an eternal-external sun-- both really, manifold and fodder for the mind to munch on like nachos expressed through comma and colon, yep, out the ass into whitespace and though the aqueducts of time.
but that isn't at all what i am saying, through the validation of god i have written a poem because god said so by commenting on the poem as a poem and not a blog or a one of those little garden things you draw lines on. with the sand and stuff.

but through all this validation i wonder if the comment broaches the poem as a poem or the poet as the poem-er. err, erstwile in the garden of eden Adam has just commented on the rotund nature of Eve's ass. Eve called Adam a pig and made him go sleep on the couch. that's an assalogy...analogy.

what's that God? Oh, no, you shut up! stoopid face.

for us, 'god' is language, and language is the thing that we do when we connect things, and language isn't word, it's motion on the world. the bit in the old testament, where the wind is on the water, or whatever, is maybe one theo-philosophical move, in those days and somewhere, and had to be included. but the idea of motion - verb - is the basis of language.

my question back to you is, when we come to a conclusion about something -- make an idea, name a thing, think a thought, is it that the truth has been revealed or is it that we've got tired of all the possibilities and given up and just stopped at the truck stop of culture?

u iz funie jo-jo!

'god' = language

language = the thing that we do when we connect things

language = motion on the world

thus

the thing that we do when we connect things = motion on the world

idea of motion = verb

verb = basis of language

language = not word

basis of not word = verb

all you wrote and write here, and all your projection of 'laugh', is in word. you want us to know god -- you're telling us where to find god -- and word is your gift -- you can't escape that, that's for sure. if you really thought god was sex, you wouldn't be on this site.

truck-stops are too clean and pretty for culture. culture has no place in a place.

instead, i say, culture is whatever is on the television.

been watching The Wire- maybe the greatest television show ever. comment. but certainly when thought circles itself then when or where does it begin, at creation? no. creation is just a fancy way of saying nothing at all whilst time creates time upon a melody.

Obviously any one who watches American television is brain dead.

its a conspiracy to keep the americans busy and away from thinking too much about more important things in life.
