Precarious

  Precarious, I, II, III

The precarious balances the edge. First it was solid, stable, but taken to where it began to fall, just intervening in its collapse, it was shifted and pulled, for remember it is a hollow cylinder when all is said and done, and while the photograph may not show it, because it is not a photograph, the cylinder, some 27" tall in origin, can collapse from the various strength of its sides, the imprecise pressure of its stretching, and most from the need for it to totter there and be pulled back. Reduced from its origin by even a third, which will be further reduced by the fire another tenth at least, it is a rescue. She is precarious and he is too, but what other reason do they have to be? We have long since fallen away from the norm and the paranorm. They  become the same.

Relied upon as a method of composition, clay sculptures fall off the table, sink in, implode being pushed too far or have disasters befall them which ensures a freshness and unexpected spontaneity of broken texts to the work. There are two of these, the other still to be fired, which came as a result of a failed tapestry, cut in half and formed into these. Like a pot which got pushed too far and totally fell,  the deal is that the clay still has to be used, so it got made into a large protuberance called Molly or Maggie. Intuition is in the nature of clay.

The best writing comes out of desperation, puerility, except Stevens maybe, but there is some repose in Borges and Kafka and innocence in Kerouac vs. Poe’s true adventures, misadventures of an anarchist in Beasts, Imp, Man, Bottle. Crane writes with demonic energy of rejection which supercharges his lines with a mass fire of rejection, hence desire for acceptance, picking up seamen. Poe’s vindictive glee and ironic justice.  Promethean fire they spark within themselves, but not against the gods, rather in favor to them, from them, celebrated all their forbidden fruits, Lingering behind these are shadows of pedophilia, corrupted lusts. All this is the highest complement to empire, domination, the American Babylon. the myth of America. It does not follow that he sought solace with sailors because he couldn’t get a job, or lived at home. More Faustian stuff, disconnected intellect from life, the very thing Weimar, empire, feeds on. Crane was a intellectual neurotic as much as Harold Bloom. Truly neurotic verbal fire, the very thing his mentors and peers seek themselves. 

They are like the Cuckoo Finches who supplant the nest, therefore
Cuckoos cluck to finches: they lay their eggs in the nests of other birds and abandon the care of their young to the hosts. Like wheat and tares. The first act of most brood parasite species’ chicks after hatching is to do away with the host’s own brood. Different species do this by ejecting their nest mates from the nest, by using their sharp beaks to fatally injure them, or by physically dominating them. One of the most common strategies for brood parasites to manipulate their hosts into raising their offspring is known as “aggressive mimicry”. This is a way for the birds to dupe a host by looking harmless, for example by resembling a species that is not parasitic. The strategy is already well-documented in a variety of brood parasite species: some lay eggs that resemble those of their hosts, while the chicks and fledglings of others look (and sound) like the host’s own chicks and fledglings. This is necessary, as hosts will reject parasitic eggs, chicks and fledglings, if they can detect them.

Time going forward from the ever present now, us receiving the future,  is malleable as its appearing the future is fluid like the present. Taken from any present time accuracy if may change taken from another present time accurately from events that have happened since the first reading. In the case where some diviner predicts the future  a collapse of the probability into a reality, and it occurs that may be because they made it occur by ruling out the other versions, ie they made you the subject believe it so it came to pass, like remote viewing targets find what they seek because they pick them out of the experimenter brain and then find what he thought was there. Observer created reality observed itself. An exception in meaning can occur when synchronous events of different kinds confirm themselves in the present, or rather viewed after they have occurred in the present, some day or weeks.
