The architecture, the the clown, the jingle(s), the familiar rumble of indigestion, the ads, the arches, the way it takes up residence inside your memory like plutonium on the bottom level of a thermal reactor cooling tower.


If McDonalds were the memory of an authentic experience...


"I call it by a family name..." Nick Cave

Dematerialized, spores
would drop softly from dreams
like rehydrated clowns
who rise on morning lawns,
bright as half-moons of silly
digestive noises in drag,
and walk off carrying tiny houses
above a small rally of hands
in white-gloves over the implied
caterpillar bump of the horizon
into an unmediated flurry
of pixelated planets
and small crinkly objects;
all claiming descent
from disneyworld
in microscopic
post-cards of
parenthetical feeling
topped with suspiciously
sweet flavor-packets
of insincerity—
that wonderful cunning;
the billions felt
indirectly
of purest sentiment...

Ah:) Am back with a quote and a link(thanks to some kind twitter users)

"You never change things by fighting an existing reality. To change things, build a new model that obsoletes an old one." Buckminster Fuller

and "The Book Industry Is So Scared of Amazon, No One Will Talk on the Record Except these people"

Hm, that was a good idea: "updated draft" but that implies oh I don't even want to go there. Well I am sorry for the inner monologue(I don't mind sharing my inner thought process before I "officially" express my opinion).

I do know though that for example the amazon kindle direct publishing give you the "control" meaning: you can make changes to your book at any time. Publish once and reach readers worldwide BUT Amazon requires exclusive rights.

Yeah, the situation is still evolving. One must define what authorship means(for you) etc but oh well I am still working on exploring the possibilities, nourish my creative soul:) etc.

. . . and *giggle* " like plutonium on the bottom level of a thermal reactor cooling tower" Good one:D *eats the worm, throws the fishhook away*
