At The Edge Of Hearing

Ain't Hurtin Nobody

So welcome to the Kali Yuga of the Pandaemonaeon wherein nothing is true and everything is permissable.
For in these post-absolutist days it is better to build upon the shifting sands than the rock which will
confound you on the day it shatters. Philosophers have become no more than the keepers of useful sarcasms,
for the secret is out that there is no secret of the universe. All is Chaos and evolution is going nowhere in
particular. It is pure chance which rules the universe and thus, and only thus, is life good. We are born
accidentally into a random world where only seeming causes lead to apparent effects, and very little is
predetermined, thank Chaos. As everything is arbitrary and accidental then perhaps these words are too small
and pejorative, rather we should perhaps say that life, the universe and everything is spontaneously creative
and magical.
(Excerpt from Liber Kaoss - Principia Chaotica by P. Caroll)

Life is like a crooked snowball: it will surely melt, fall apart.. but then reassemble into a bizarre shape

Little Crooked Sketch

method: plain reading, no frills, even breathing is still audible
narration: it's spring. the title refers to an aesthetic category introduced by alexander gottlieb baumgarten (1714-1762). the 'expatriate poet' referred to is peter russell: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Russell_(poet) and also https://www.emt.it/riviste/marginalia/Marginalia17.pdf (1994) .... the 'first child' was of course mine, not pr's. any autobiographical relations, though, are purely incidental .... poetry is a category of fiction after all.

poem / copyright jo richter:

in the harsh light of a spring noon
the darling buds of leaves turn vibrant
early flowers rejoice in voluptuous infamy

he looks at the sketch of a tea mug
resplendent with exterior colour, then
realizes the real mug in front of the empty canvas

all the houses around him sport antennas
dishes, connecting them to the unseen
unheard, intangible levity of the pertinent ether

once, he spent a fortnight in tuscany
met an expatriate poet who lived in a mill
writing on in the tradition of ezra pound

his first child still had to be carried, then
bulging in front of his chest, strapped tightly
with a length of blue cloth, iridescent

he takes in all of this transient splendour
as a plane's tremor rips open his awareness membrane
reminding him of the first lines of eliot's waste land

It's That Age Old Quest U R On
