I CONSIDER THAT HAVING AN IDEA, IN ANY CASE, IS NOT ON THE ORDER OF COMMUNICATION... PRIMARILY, COMMUNICATION IS THE TRANSMISSION AND PROPAGATION OF INFORMATION. INFORMATION IS A SET OF IMPERATIVES, SLOGANS, DIRECTIONS. WHEN YOU ARE INFORMED, YOU ARE TOLD WHAT YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BELIEVE... WE ARE NOT ASKED TO BELIEVE BUT TO BEHAVE AS IF WE DID...

COUNTER-INFORMATION ONLY BECOMES REALLY EFFECTIVE WHEN IT IS -- AND IT IS BY NATURE -- OR BECOMES AN ACT OF RESISTANCE... A WORK OF ART HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH COMMUNICATION. A WORK OF ART DOES NOT CONTAIN THE LEAST BIT OF INFORMATION. IN CONTRAST, THERE IS A FUNDAMENTAL AFFINITY BETWEEN A WORK OF ART AND AN ACT OF RESISTANCE...

THE PEOPLE ARE MISSING MEANS THAT THE FUNDAMENTAL AFFINITY BETWEEN A WORK OF ART AND A PEOPLE THAT DOES NOT YET EXIST IS NOT, WILL NEVER BE CLEAR. THERE IS NO WORK OF ART THAT DOES NOT CALL ON A PEOPLE WHO DOES NOT YET EXIST.

It is fact that I am often accused of being cold. I am physically a cold person, hands and feet like ice. My heart is the same. But today, arriving home after six - the first Monday after daylight savings begins - the sun is setting.

A dad, boy, and girl are outside. We live on the same side of the street, maybe ten houses apart. I park, cross the street, and trek through my soggy lawn. I see the girl teetering in a gravity challenge on her tiny pink bike - no training wheels - moving towards me, into the sun. She said, I'm doing it! Actually grinning, I stop to watch and she exclaims again, then laughs. Like a real moment.

Settling

My mother always said she wished for boys. She never wanted girls, never planned for two. My gestation was especially saturated with her hopes that I would be male -- presumably to save The Marriage. When her firstborn emerged female, she bypassed Jacob. When I was born, she abandoned Joshua.

Tonight was the infrequent but regular type where I considered Joshua.

Alisyn, my co-worker, is getting sick. She knows when she's getting sick, she says, because it always begins with an earache. When she was much younger, her ear canals were fitted for tubes that prevent infection, though they sometimes require replacement.

A tube in my ear came out like a stinking macaroni noodle when I got punched in the head at a Prodigy concert.

Your involvement with other people often focuses on the harshest side of human experience. You become aware of destructive energies around you and learn to overcome these difficulties. Your spiritual life can become the source of nearly inexhaustible energy. You face tests through death and separation.

Plot

2011-02-12T14:49:00.003-05:00

Kate and I go to an exhibit of forged, copied, and otherwise “fake” art owned by the DIA. The fire alarms sound about ten minutes in, just after I prompt a dialogue on the irony of this exhibit happening at all. Patrons and employees move in slow, loose pirouettes. Intricate defense and disaster procedures lie outlined in thick manuals somewhere, maybe glossy handouts for visitors who ask. But no one knows what to do. Kate said, god, those alarms are enough to make anyone... I said, I wonder how it would be to die in a fire at an art museum.

Later, outside, we overhear museum staff discuss the alarms, set off by steam from a party on the first floor. I see a man point to smoke tufts creeping around the lights and we descend the nearest staircase – the humid failure visible, tactile.

Pavel seems to be protesting traditional food and water. I have grown some grass in a glass jar, which I set on the floor next to her food and water dishes. I keep food in her bowl, but water sparingly. She will dip in an entire paw, lift and shake it off, then use the same motion -- but with more force and inside the bowl instead of out -- to spill most or all of the water onto the floor. There are also times when she knocks it over simply by kicking around Dave's pink snap bracelet.

Former Perfect Lover v. Dream Soul Mate

ONE ANSWER TO [AN] AD'S QUERY: "WHAT MAKES A GAL A GOOD NUMBER?" IS SIMPLY "LOOKING LIKE A NUMBER OF OTHER GALS"; TO THE QUERY, "WHAT'S THE TRICK THAT MAKES HER CLICK?" THE ANSWER IS "BEING A REPLACEABLE PART." JUST AS SUCCESS AND PERSONALITY KNOW-HOW CONSIST OF RECIPES AND FORMULAS FOR REDUCING EVERYBODY TO THE SAME PATTERN, WE SEEM TO DEMAND, IN HARMONY WITH THIS PRINCIPLE, THAT LOVE GODDESSES BE ALL ALIKE.

The issue is never the Former versus the Dream, but the Living versus one of the two. The New Seed is always in competition with the imagination; even the Former's perfection is mistaken. Éluard said somewhere that one would never recognize his soul mate because they would not look or act like he had imagined them to -- the true soul mate is not the being he had fashioned in his fantasies.

LOVE, FOR MANY PEOPLE, FOR THE MAJORITY INDEED, IS NOT REALLY LOVE BUT A MIXTURE OF THE DESIRE TO LOVE AND THE DESIRE TO BE LOVED, PLUS A WILLINGNESS TO DO ANYTHING TO SHOW AND EVOKE THIS SENTIMENT, AND CONSEQUENTLY TO BE MORE COMFORTABLE IN ONE'S OWN INTERIOR LIFE.

This couple I'm making a wedding cake for -- the girl describes her future in relation to an 80s movie.

She said: "Only 131 days until I marry Jake Ryan from Sixteen Candles. Plaid shirts, fair isle sweaters, red sports car and all." Next to that, she provided a link to a picture of Jake Ryan from Sixteen Candles. Her husband looks like him in this slightly bulldog underbite way -- but just so. His jaw is pulled out to the exact angle that makes him look nasty and unconvincing, but handsome still. When I had met with them, he asked me, "So, what's your favorite cake you've ever done?" and he nearly licked the appetizer plate clean. He bought my beer on his American Express.

I can't decide if I feel sorry and sad or just confused.

I watch her react to the world, which she seems to have forgotten; living on a third floor, she doesn't kill and she hasn't seen direct sunlight in months. I wonder, when she sees it, if she gets the jabbing sense of déjà vu that you get when you know you've been somewhere but, at some point, realize that it was in a dream, or you feel like you must have been there in a dream because it seems too unreal, or a million other ors.

Meijer; 6 December

Saw a half-dead, balding & dreadlocked man with camo pants buying Pioneer Sugar while two men with ragged shoes played scratch-off Lotto tickets, sitting on a bench between the Photo and Pharmacy counters. I took a bathroom break. "Take My Breath Away" from the Top Gun soundtrack was playing through the loudspeakers. Came out and everyone was still in place. I need a "L", said one man to the other.

Life rifts are moving. Someone told me that it's time to start saying some serious shit.

Last night, I saw a man sing karaoke. The chorus of the song was, "I tried so hard and got so far, but in the end it doesn't even matter," and while he sang, a half-covered T.V. in an empty corner of the bar flashed images of a crying black woman in a red shirt.

This afternoon, I had a dream in which I was dressed as a polyester and spandex Snow White, looking for a place to shit.

SEMPRE CON PERMESSO, MA IN QUELLI TEMPI TI FACEVANO PROPRIO ABBASSARE I PANTALONI PRIMA CHE TI DAVANO LAVORO.

In those times they would lower your pants before giving you work, but always with permission.
