#242 The New Years




In the closed circles of
psychic apparati, exposed
navels emphasize the
rural-urban rift. It is
from this dark rift that
the winter solstice sun
will emerge, offering
a single world with a
dichotomy of semantics
in which objects co-exist
with primitive types. More
problematic in theory
than in practice, it tends
towards a reductionist
framework. On the day
of the second new moon
after the December solstice
the new years begin.

#241 Merman Hanging from a Gibbet


Harlequin diamonds are
must-haves for fashion-
able women, now that
they are back on the map
for 'it' handbags with new
styles & such modern
colors as Waterlily Pink 
& New Bronze available.

& in the home, unpinned,
stuck to the door, access-
orized with the movement
of a hanging merman, they
add a sense of drama &
visual tension to any space.

#240 The Glass Key



for Dashiell Hammett & Jo Nesbø
Ned finds the body of a
Senator’s son on the street.
He's tall, lean, mustachioed
& tubercular. He's also
a gambler. & a big fan of
literary noir. You can use
census records & voter
lists to see where he's lived

over the years. They have
a pervasive feeling of moral
& sexual ambiguity which
may not be visible yet be-
cause of a delay in updating
the database. You can also
use them to read about
Harry's journey to Thailand.

#239 The Battle of the Argonne



Jay Gatsby leads
two machine-gun
attachments forward.
Ten of these men, the
most stubborn kind,

gave their last full
measure. The unit, now
at a stall, was saved
by another pigeon.
The only stone road

leading into the forest
went downward for
the central powers.
What does givry-en-
argonne
mean in English?

Plenty of opportunities to get up close & personal with concrete countertops & outdoor kitchens.

Empowering animals with the ability to make good decisions.

Providing candid photos of female sea turtles nesting.

My perspective on Height Dominance.

Your questions that have not been answered.

An adventure through an entire continent.

The way the window on the right has fallen magically & now circles, unsure whether to approach its mate.

#237 La Cascade



This is not the waterfall where
Yoshitsune washed his
horse. It does not flow or fall or
follow through. Is telescopic. In that
the mind is seen in the forest
as well as distant from it.

A massive earthquake. A tropical cyclone.
A picture of Hokusai. Stochastic acts.

He found a shiny object somewhere.
Diane is Betty in the dream . . . she views
her good side as dominant. Irony
abounds. Gloria Swanson says voice
doesn't add anything. Radiohead has
postponed part of its European tour
after a stage collapse in Toronto
killed the band's drum technician.

I took many photos of the fall & its pools. The
original one (the first one at night) is a
proof of concept one to show to people
before creating the real one. (Irony defined:
"stated message doesn't equal real message.")
I thought it would be funny to take a picture
of America at war as gasoline prices spike.

Alfred Korzybski gave a presentation at a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in New Orleans where he used the phrase “the map is not the territory.” Korzybski used this phrase to mean that people in general do not have access to absolute knowledge of reality, but merely possess a subset of that knowledge that is then tinted through the lenses of their own experience. He further added that it is important for people to know that their understanding of things, “the map”, is not a true representation of reality itself or everything represented by reality, or “the territory”.

#236 The Upholder of the Law


The elderly mother dresses
down for her new video
in a pair of bright red jeans
& matching lippy. She has
decided her son-in-law
is trying to poison her. The
painful irony is that he is
an Autobot who believes
in upholding the law, but
lacks the firepower to
enforce it. Plus, care &
dignity are wrapped in
so much red tape that they
become safe harbors &
provide immunity from
liability. The new moon
clings to his hat's brim like
a nose ring. Our beautiful
website is coming soon.

#235 The Forest of Paimpont



Sir Lancelot is no
longer available for
interviews &/or photo
opportunities due to the
new set of contractual
obligations he's entered
into. From here on in
it's Murdoch & the
Morgans—J.P., le Fey—
you'll be crossing swords
with. From here on in
it's Getty & 20th Century
Fox for rights & royal-
ties. This image,
taken just before he
entered La Forêt de
Paimpont for a final
time, is the last left
in the public domain, a
reminder that chevalry
is not always chivalrous.

#234 The Adulation of Space (2)


He felt happy & pain-free only
on stage, immersed in his music.
String Theory & the Geometry of
Hydroponic Strawberries
. Listen
to, download, play & stream the

song. The elders only smile sadly.
I've bought eight t-shirts from
this guy. Californian worshippers
chose blindfolds. There is scepticism
in the mainstream media. Luxury

limousines drove up the stairs.
I have his posters on my wall. Will
he be able to go back to the boy
band life? Don’t forget to watch A
Thousand Kisses
, Episode 37. In the

blank space alongside the photograph,
an anonymous letter-writer had
scribbled a shocking & hate-filled
message. Does it bother you that
tennis doesn't get that kind of adulation?

#233 Youth Illustrated


                         Now that reality shows
              have developed some
                                 sort of deep metaphysical 
                    connection with live-action 
                            games where players 
                  dress up in costume & 
                                        get involved in areas 
                           derived from the Greek 
                       like weapon trajectory 
                                   calculations & image 
                                 processing, renting 
                                 Camelot on DVD &
               singing along with it
                               just doesn't register
                       any more. The competition 
                   to narrow down the
                                  pool is heating up—
                         not the contestant pool 
                           but the wannabe guest
                 judges all dressed 
                                  up & running behind 
                             the circus trucks.
