the sun singed through my shirt again fever of day turning into the precipice of night where there is an orifice in time in a nonspecific location undisclosed with a radius of n minus one forever minus one integument burning still and I long for the nounless place to be only x = null Owanja-Zrozro winks from inside the hole and dances last departure from Sipayu the Kachinas are after all men in masks |

Rebel Ya know...I like your writing, and I know you have a keen mind...but mine just seems so dull when trying to understand this. Can you give us a hint? Huh? Please? |

it is entirely contextual to 'and we is' /pip/Forum90/HTML/001097.html sorry martie -- I am attempting a paradigm shift here... the implications of nounlessness are twisting through my brain -- there really aren't words for what I'm saying here... but I'm drawing on some Hopi imagery... Sipayu is the place where they emerged from the last world into this world -- Owanja-Zrozro is a Kachina, or spirit, of madness or like the patron saint of psychiatric disorder -- when the children need discipline the Kachina's come to spank them -- they are men in masks -- when the children become adults the men take off the masks and show them who they really are -- when the real Kachinas come to take us to the next world -- they, will take off their masks according to Hopi belief -- we will understand. I can't take off any more of mine. |

"n minus one forever minus one integument burning still and I long for the nounless place" Local Rebel -- You caught me with the first line and took me spiraling with you. I have an idea what you are talking about. Enjoyed this and your Hopi imagery.  ...jo |

And those masks are -- -- well, they're smelly inside and not very lifelike; you have to want to believe or you laugh when they dance up out of the hole, and that makes them doubly dangerous. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

"x = null" freakin' genius! no more surprises.. and nounlessness would certainly do away with labels...   this rocks and so do you!!! "cast me gently into the morning, for the night has been unkind" |

Sometimes unmasking can be uncomfortably revealing. Years ago, I made a giant 4'x8' macrame Kachina that hung from my porch or backdoor. It seemed to speak to me daily, perhaps offering me a message I wasn't ready to receive, until now? |

perhaps it explains the forever longing in mankind, for some unexplainable supernatural connection...something man can take his his hand and feel it there...although many of us have, it is fleeting...I've read somewhere that there are other plains to our world here, but we simply can't cross over...but, some have crossed over into ours...perhaps apparitions? I loved your explaination, thanks |

I consider this "companion" to "and we is"...and you got me with Kachina dolls. (that's a bit of gris gris of which I am fond) thank you, Reb. You always stretch my mind. Yer lovely. |

You and your mind absolutely amaze me, Reb. I love the way your writing goes into the mind of your readers. You make us think and that's a very good thing. Hugs, Ethel |
