reality, petering out http://www.alansondheim.org/P1090260.JPG http://www.alansondheim.org/P1090131.JPG Reality only begins at the point where things peter out. - Hugo Ball I'm writing an incontrovertible prognostication assembling my ability to write at this our of the morning, without thinking about the misconstruing spelling and prejudical analyses I tend to apply to my work otherwise. Can I think still through writing, can I cohere in a sense in a way I haven't been able to before? What is the value of this in a punctuated and collapsing civilization? Is the fact I'm writing by type, with eyes closed, making a difference on a theoretical leve, for example against the phenomena of speech or lecture, written and talked or otherwise just spoken, relevant here? Is there an otherwise? Is there more than coalapse? Where am I working from? Where are we going? Is there an otherwise? Do things peter out? Someone died recently and it was announced that they found the body of the girl. It was brutal and more than that, but it also raised an uncomfortable question; does one own one's body? Because the implication of the "of" might well be possessive, that one poassesses one's body, and then there are issues of suicidxe, assisted or not. Is one possessed by one's body? Is on'es body a sign of possession much as a witch =was assumed at one point to be possessed by someone or something else? And in which case there is always already a spearatino between the body and its possessor, a body with limits, the materiality of a body in relation to what? To the glue that hl holds body and mind perhaps together? Or the glue that for that literal littoral matter holds wholeds the world togther by virtue of or within and without the body? The compliexity is overhwelming. Is there another way? Does that pter out? the words gather together, mixing syllables, lettes, in ways that seem to have an underlying structure of their own, no matter what i tro to say or do. it's this that dominates, short-scircuiting the semantics of this small world in favor of strict sintactical operations, where the meaning sloughs off, no matter what. it's already a descent into madness, where meaning is torn apart, ignored, lerft as a refugee someehwere out of sight out of mind. nothing can be done with it, whatever was intended is lost within the chaos of surface turbulence; the content is that turbulence itself, there's nothing left of the originary depths. this is the new world that emerges until it finally dominates, meaning is absorbed into an material abstraction that could be anywhere, anytime, sourcless and targetless. what we call death is noting but this, the emptied parhentheses, the numeric and its vagaries that remains as an untoward residue for no one to read. for there is no one to write it, no one to read it, - things peter out, that's where nothing begins +++ 7c7 the misconstruing spelling and prejudicial analyses I tend to apply the misconstruing spelling and prejudical analyses I tend to apply on a theoretical level, for example against the phenomena of speech on a theoretical leve, for example against the phenomena of speech here?
