if dirty wet sponges were thrown at glass windows;
if feet were designed to move forward;
and life would suffice with the dull or demented
there'd be no cause to cling
there'd be no truth to sling
when a mind's trapped behind eyes of perception
a snake charmer's left hand
with platelets like sand
ever twist while the old summer closes
a bug made a bug made a bug that eats you
and it sits and it drinks, like it knows what to do
yet a brain, ever so big, might confuse

@9.8mtres per sec^2, could lightsequence synch soundpulse have momentum?
math, dimension
non existance to an infinitely small point
infinite number of infinitely small points all next to each other
where did i go wrong?
infinite addition suffices?
infinitely add naught, you'd never get a dimention
one dimension, augmented with basic algebra, is more than one dimention?
you'd never account for life thus
one dimension squared is not dimension raised to dimension
but cars do function, and walls do stand
who can figure human

Language is the fancy rubix cube...
When context defines expression, what expression could exist,
if there's nothing more than context rearranged?
Known quantities of known variables, traced back to a source unknown.
Lifeless lays there, not even twitching...
The unadorned Weather...
The Crust.
Yet, now, knowing what can be done;
While doing what can be known:
These are the Benefit & Limitation.
Where thought takes structure, what structure takes thought?
And does it keep it hidden?
Or is it in plain sight?
... as if a plane could see
self-mitigated-oneness
~like a well-balanced stage curtain

The Quest of Odysseus: not centrifugal as is normal -- but centripetal: the hero seeks to return home, not to arrive "yonder"
Many destinations, that in other stories would have been "paradise," are in this story obstacles to the hero's homecoming.
The most serious obstacle is Calypso's paradise. Her name means "Concealer" (as the black Cloud of Death that covers dying heroes in the Iliad), which is ironical for someone who wants to give Odysseus eternal life.
All of Odysseus' adventures during his Wanderings are symbolically charged: they are connected with poetry and memory, and one can survive them only by not eating too much...
The Cicones: turns into a disaster because the Companions indulge in an undue meal
The Lotus Eaters: eating is forgetting one's nostos, and forgetting is an antipoetic state of mind...
The Cyclopes: presented by Odysseus as raw Nature as opposed to his own Culture, and of course he wins out over the monster (and again), but matters are not so simple. The story revolves around the Animals in the Cave -- Odysseus obtains them (and again... for a price. Not only does he lose some of his companions; he also falls victim to the Cyclops' Curse, which in the end will be nothing other than the Odyssey itself (the loss of all the companions, the late return, the foreign ship, the trouble in his house...). The trickster has become tricked and the poem can run its course...

ALEXANDER J DOWIE: (VIOLENTLY) Fellowchristians and antiBloomites, the man called Bloom is from the roots of hell, a disgrace to christian men. A fiendish libertine from his earliest years this stinking goat of Mendes gave precocious signs of infantile debauchery, recalling the cities of the plain, with a dissolute granddam. This vile hypocrite, bronzed with infamy, is the white bull mentioned in the Apocalypse. A worshipper of the Scarlet Woman, intrigue is the very breath of his nostrils. The stake faggots and the caldron of boiling oil are for him. Caliban!
THE MOB: Lynch him! Roast him! He's as bad as Parnell was. Mr Fox!
(MOTHER GROGAN THROWS HER BOOT AT BLOOM. SEVERAL SHOPKEEPERS FROM UPPER AND LOWER DORSET STREET THROW OBJECTS OF LITTLE OR NO COMMERCIAL VALUE, HAMBONES, CONDENSED MILK TINS, UNSALEABLE CABBAGE, STALE BREAD, SHEEP'S TAILS, ODD PIECES OF FAT.)
