cycology

is
the endless stroke
the pace of breathing
inandout the fluid flow
of winding down
an upward climb
sky skidding sideways fast
past slides of nightandday
a twilight ride
to somewhere inbetween
the schizz that leaps a steep incline
toward no breaks in speed
by screening off the sky way bridge
of all my letting-goes

"Such is rhythm. Landing, splashdown, takeoff...
It is the difference that is rhythmic, not the repetition..."

before this post, there was one that cited sartre - plouf! gone. it was here no more than a few hours ago.

[of all these antinomied letting-goes] ... this just struck me mid-stroke as I was re-reading it ... it literally just changed; a change of perspective or a more realistic rendering?

I am actually curious about [of all these antinomied letting-goes] and the change to the impersonal ... axing the 'my' .. if you'd care to indulge me ... eg change of perspective or ... more realistic rendering?

I know that it's still 'under construction', though ...

I can say that its always something I think about while writing, trying to extract [axe] the me/my/I, trying to keep out as many memyI's from a piece of words as possible, for the sake of enclosing the outside within an implied you/they/your/their, ultimately striving for a we/our/us kind of understanding, an and...

and sometimes, I feel I could draw you an answer more easily, o devinci-ed economy of line...

but to answer your question, I am not sure about this one piece yet and when in doubt, I am tending to revert back to the original (which you seem to be good at reteaching me...I appreciate your question)

I was searching for a quote that might better explain this perspective, could not find it, but genet and d&g all write about this extraction-of-the-personal from writing

however, by chance, I did find this and just liked it ...

"But what precisely is an encounter with someone you like? It is an encounter with someone...or with the animals who come to populate you, or with the ideas which take you over, the movements which move you, the sounds which run through you? And how do you separate
these things? I can talk of Foucault, tell you that he has said this or that to me, set it out as I see it. This is nothing as long as I have not been able really to encounter this set of sounds hammered out, of decisive gestures, of ideas all made of tinder and fire, of deep attention and sudden closure, of laughter and smiles, which one feels to be 'dangerous' at the very moment when one feels tenderness..." (deleuze & parnet)

[...axing the 'my' ... if you'd care to indulge me ...]

interesting quote; thanks for humoring me ... the font color has changed - playing with the aesthetics?

Blogger name of the rose said...

no, I had not changed the font colour deliberately...
a few strange things have happened today with this site...

and the there is your grande plouf deletion...your lbog, gone, erased, nicht da, warum?

Blogger in vino veritas [in wine, there is truth] said...

huh? it disappeared? I hadn't notice ... yours or mine? mine is there. did yours go bye bye?

11:34 p.m.  
Blogger name of the rose said...

that's funny...mine is here if you are posting to it...

but yours, yours is presenting (me with) a pure white screen, quite serene really, quite zen...but not there, alas.

try clearing your cache/deleting cookies; then refresh - it should show up then. what else happened with your site? sounds voodoo ....

11:42 p.m.  
Blogger name of the rose said...

when I click on your blogger id in your comment box, it tells me you have no profile...wait, stand sideways, I'll have a look...

meanwhile, I will get the cookies,

shut down, restart, strip the fonts, begin again,
work work work

I'm the invisible man ... not sure what the benefits of that would be, however.

[wait, stand sideways] ... avoid the raindrops too, right? (what's that quote? 'nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands' ... or is it fingers?)

[work work work] ... then die; very Protestant.

[ ... avoid the raindrops too, right? (what's that quote? 'nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands' ... or is it fingers?)] ...I do not know that quote although I smiled at your version...

but back to your blog,
it is currently gone,
no more cairo

Blogger in vino veritas [in wine, there is truth] said...

huh ... even after clearing the cache ... curious; it could be the ISP, then; some ISP's don't update as often ... no idea - but it's stranger that unwanted changes happened to your blog - certainly a connection, no?

I thought that maybe you shut your site today for some reason...but you are saying that your site is up

I have not yet restarted my computer since I am trying to fix the font colour...and can't find the problem within the html...had trouble posting as well today...

oh well...

Blogger in vino veritas [in wine, there is truth] said...

and the familiar, once again ...

and your site is also back
