I received a package today: Pharmako/dynamis came. Pharmako/gnosis is all that's left.

Start from where you are.
|
|||
|
|
Saturnian verses, step zero.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Let's try to get this right from the beginning.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<em>Fat chance.</em>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Writing versus research, a metaphor there. Which do you do?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<em>Some of both. That is surely the poison path. It's all about the dosage</em>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The research is the lunar medicine: visionary exploration and dreaming dreams. But the lunar medicine needs a substrate, a sounding board--
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<em>maybe
|
|||
|
|
a printing press, a green house, a micrometer,
|
|||
|
|
a phenethylamine backbone, a classroom of students.</em>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Something for the medicine to work upon: the substrate is the solar medicine.
|
|||
|
|
|

|
<em>a stack of books debating like a council of citizens
|
|||
|
|
a council of citizens fermenting like a barrel of wine
|
|||
|
|
a barrel of wine dreaming like a rack of dresses
|
|||
|
|
a rack of dresses dangling like a toolbelt
|
|||
|
|
a toolbelt smiling like a scalpel
|
|||
|
|
a scalpel dropping like a line of hooks
|
|||
|
|
a line of hooks disappearing like a revolution
|
|||
|
|
a revolution breathing like a forest
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
like a palette of colors, or a waiting laboratory,
|
|||
|
|
or maybe a kitchen, or just a pad of paper,
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
an equation condensing like a poem,
|
|||
|
|
a poem listening like a guitar,
|
|||
|
|
a guitar resonating like a stack of books.</em>
|
|||
|
|
<em>¡Basta! señor.</em> As the man said. Enough.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
It is clear that the poison path has to do with a certain excess. Hyperbole: what is the alternative to dying a thousand deaths?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<em>Madness!</em>
