  • OOCUPY

    For the OCCUPY movement, the people and the spirits.–Steven James Pratt (Fly Acrillic 23)

    Occupy Your Mind

    Then we’ll Occuply […….]
    And the Seasons revolve,
    Occupy the planet earth
    Coagulate, Solve.

  • NAUGHTIES DECADE 2001-2011

    DECADE 2001-2011

     

    INTRODUCTION

    Hi I finally got around to posting this, it’s been hanging around for a while. I hope you’ll forgive my errors, any feedback will be well received.

    So friends…which events seem important to you? Which would you choose to define any given period of time? How do you make sense of them, what conditions nurtured them, which human interventions and which natural disasters led to the events you pick?

    If we are to make sense and meaning of history, and sanity–a risky endeavour in these times of global Internet but one which any poet worth the name might pursue–then a ‘poem including history‘ of the last decade seems a good place to start to me. (after writing this introduction I learned that Mark Zukenburg and facebook plan to release a ‘timeline’ application that allows for a similar chronological study of events. However History also moves in cycles, and non-chronological spirals, it is of my opinion.

    The launch of Wikipedia in February of 2001 has impacted this writing a great deal due to the simple list of some events deemed worthy of inclusion by the Wikipedia commons group, that are made available for all to see and make sense of at your own risk. The risk seems to me to be somewhat reduced when attention is paid to the subjective nature of perception, and to methods such as ‘operational language used by some-but-not-all scientists and ‘E-prime’ and its variants, used by some-but-not-all linguists.

    When put Into chronological order it becomes increasingly difficult for me to avoid drawing conclusions based on the ordering, one thing leads to another, or so it seems to a linear oriented mind set. The question remains: which ‘events’ should become pivotal ones and which shall be relegated to the footnotes or relegated all together? How did the author or protagonist come to choose such events based on which values and principle, what ordering system, what right knowledge? How many are justified by later events and how many need revision, considering, let’s say; the Wikileaks exposures of the period 2007-2010, or the News Corp. phone hacking racket?

  • Race Riots and Revolution in the UK

    Hi,

    The riots in the UK earlier this month (aug. 6-10, 2011) have provoked a number of textual reactions and experiments from me that I present here in a mish-mash-up style. Typically I have the beginnings of lots of different ideas, poems, screenplays, on-going research and rants. I might need some help editing some of this stuff.

    I decided that Race Riots and Revolution in the UK could be a title theme that runs through these writings. Please enjoy, share and feedback. And remember to try and think happy thoughts as ften as possible. Please, thankyou.

    1.

    FLIP FLOP CIRCUIT

    QUESTION CRIME?
     
    Bits and thoughts like branches and leaves budding
    earth seasons seem to bring politcal and ecological changes,
    the city map of life inside a city map world ripped by a rat.

    Talkers gasping for fresh air, to make sense of the senses
    to pit poverty of imagination against scandalous expenses
    to lay seeds, to plough the fields and jump fences

    I am sucked into the babble slang and the prattle
    what’s in a name, what’s in a battle
    who traded pigs for whiggs, and precious coin for cattle?

    The scrupulus meanness of money magic
    the comedy in a staged collapse, tree’s felled: tragic
    politicians need MDMA for empathy and to help fight
    capitalist cancer outbrake.

    To gamble our land’s life support on the mad-Bull market
    gives off a reckless and putrid stench of rotting corpses
    cannibals of europe are eating their children,

    Each human mind encompasses the whole universe
    the whole multiverse contained inside a criminal thug?
    please, we are all interacting nervous systems beyond classification.
     
    –Steve ‘fly’ Pratt 23.

    HOW TO LOVE A HOODY?
     

    What does it take to love a hoody?
    never mind hug a hoody love a hoody,
    tuff love buddy,
    a flood of reasons to show empathy
    as some wise man once said ‘love thy enemy’
    so… how might we love a hoody

    What’s inside that hood

    Who’s under the street monkhood
    What creature lurks beneath the Addidas and the Nike garnments
    What feet creep across broken glass in Fila boots
    what’s inside the head wrapped in Burberry
    all day crime think? think again, 

    These are human beings just like you,
    criminality seems a pretty flimsy stick these days
    as one man goes down for knickin’ a shirt
    another walks, like Tony Blair, what is fair?
    To me Tony is no better than a hoody,
    Gangster activity, lack of insight and foresight,
    disrespect, bad judgement, personal benefit
    at the scandalous expense of others.
    Criminal intelligence is intelligence

    none-the-less.

    a gang is a group or slang for a coup
    on the sinister crime-minister’s ‘gang-think’
    David Starkey scans the culture darkly, 
    dimly, shortsightedly.

    –Steve ‘fly’ Pratt 23.

  • Stephen Hawking: RIVERRUN ENVIRONS.

    Joyce’s ‘pancosmos’
    may still yet send shock waves throughout the physics
    Cluster community consciousness…may yet, may yet.
    (and the global internet by default)
    if we would give equal credit to
    the inner-space of mind-like spaces,
    & the outer-space and external phenomena: still mind-like in fact,
    I guess… see our faulty wonky perception, the
    Shadows often mistaken for the ‘things’ themselves.

    LO! to balance the equation of being, of being, of being
    Like how James Joyce seems to balance ‘being’ the equation
    With holographic prose, prose writing the tightrope, spun prose;
    Innovated, deployed and distributed evenly
    Trughout Finnegans Week.

     

    Time flows like a river and it seems as if each of us is carried relentlessly along by time’s current. But time is like a river in another way. It flows at different speeds in different places and that is the key to traveling into the future, —Stephen Hawking.

    riverrun, past Eve and Adam’s, from swerve of shore to bend
    of bay, brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to
    Howth Castle and Environs. —James Joyce.
