blast

we hover
just shiny metal
outside unbroken glass

the memory hubble horizon
is reconstructive of:

dissolving this universion
the now always changing the past

our human soil
architectural instruments
not quite petal

thank you, powerful city
for grinding us down enough
to predict outcomes

united at last

I see... a sort poetic version of Pet Shop Boy's "Suburbia". A dystopian view of our sprawling cities, and how they erode the green-belt?....Not always the case thankfully: Perhaps you could pay a (return?) visit to Sheffield-- did you know the city has four times as many trees as it does people? Useless fact for you. And [wait for it] it has the largest urban greenhouse in Europe. Tis the greenest city in Europe.....Also Sheffield is the only city in the UK to have a national park in its boundaries-- 67% of the city is greenscape. You can go out of urban sprawl into wild/barren moorland in a blink of an eye.....Anyway, enough trivial about South Yorkshire... what's this about a "neutron". Are you have trouble with your isotopes? Spring can do that to you.....["I only wanted something else to do, but hang around" emoticon]

"Our human soil" "not quite petal" reminds me of John Newling's The Noah Laboratory, an installation I recently assisted the artist with: http://www.john-newling.com/..http://www.artrabbit.com/uk/events/event/9981/john_newling_s_the_noah_laboratory...."dissolving this universion" "for grinding us down enough" was part of the experimental process of John's constructing soil out of shredded newspapers and canvases.....But as I have more recently been researching The Lady Of Shalott, "just shiny metal" "outside unbroken glass" refers once again to Tennyson's poem "...And moving thro' a mirror clear, that hangs before her all the year, shadows of the world appear..." ....The Lady of Shalott can only look upon the world through a mirror, and so it is we also only see the universe through a mirror, a very powerful and elaborate mirror in a very Neo-Platonist sense.... ....For once, a seriously thoughtful set of musings!!

It's not just the city that's grinding us down to predict outcomes, but our whole culture of mediocrity and consumerism. Soon we will all be clones - some would argue that we already are.

To view the microscopic you must have tired of the macro.....Can you change the past by building on old foundations?....Or is the soil set in stone?....to follow a prediction - is that really living or just watching while the time flies by?

LOL am I just a sceptic or does anyone else see just how many times David has been the first to reply to mf's posts? :-)....I wonder if he's a paid rube or just a devoted fan or, dare I say it, just affected?....David, if it's the latter then I prescribe a period of abstinence from mf's Myspace page. Maybe a week. After that, you will no longer feel the need to be first and, like Alex DeLarge of old, you will cry "I was cured all right!".....

Sundry chortles, Exhibit-1. I'm also the first to reply to your comment as well-- yet you haven't paid me! I should take it up with the Musicians' Blog Repliers' Union. ....Affected? Well I am a few slates short of a full roof, and I already have enough abstinence in my life. Perhaps I'm on the same wavelength as Magne-- should I be worried-- or should he be worried? ....[Enters "John Shuttleworth" mode]. Oof, eccentricity is oxymoronic anyway. We are all different from each other, with our own quirks and foibles-- thus we all relatively eccentric. So if everyone is eccentric, then it's normal to be eccentric-- thus the contradiction. Can't argue with logic like that can you. Clever eh?....Yours ever the humble servant,....David....["Life is like a salad bar" emoticon]..........

of course everyone just laughed on "suburbia"............But the day I went to see Pet Shop Boys in concert and they have sung "suburbia" and I was in front. ....Neil Tennant showed me with the finger in the crowd. ............P.S yes I am a dead rabbit I have just one soul-love in a sanctuary only me....

Fission poetry. Poems split into smaller parts, often producing free neutrons.
