Aphorism http://www.alansondheim.org/pict.jpg I don't age. I just gather pictures. Then I'll stop. || this was the first. well, not entirely: I don't age. I just see things. Then I'll stop. || I thought of Karl Kraus. then I wrote: I don't grow old. I just witness. Then I'll stop. || I did consider haiku, then I wrote: I don't age. I just live in the imaginary. Then I'll stop. || wrong count, wrong message. then I thought: I'll just stop. || gloss: Thinking how age is both a physical process and a gathering of memories. in my situation, they all have equal weight, ontological status, and even clarity of detail. all of them. and then I thought, this gathering will stop. and I then thought, this is what life is: a gathering from an inchoate beginning, and then nothing - know that I will not be present for the nothing - or that the nothing will not present itself to me - but to other, for a short time, will present itself - but what is that but fading all along, all down the line, and then stop. so that: || I don't age. I just gather pictures. I just see things. I just live in the imaginary. Then I'll stop. I'll just stop. || gloss: _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@lists.netbehaviour.org https://lists.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
