Boxes

A Man is

Buildings to see

Inside the worlds largest airplane factory

some airplane factories are so large that clouds once formed inside them
When you learn that
a phenomenon is not unique
that it follows like a twin
that on the front
behooves the back
that it is part of a system
and is not by itself


Vehicle assembly building
fiction:
Homeless

I am at the top in between two rocks. Many thousand feet below are sparse number of people. Soon its many people on horses fighting. In no time, a small pool is filled with them. One of them looks that there are people up here. It looks like a normal busy street. There were families hanging their clothes on ropes at unreachable heights on the multi-storeys where they use a stick to manipulate the rope before hanging clothes on it. It was time to leave. We left with what we had In emergency situation, I took somebody's sandals which I thought might be big for me, but were not. We all left. Earlier , in the neighbourhood my friend K was giving keynote lectures for her company. She had long hair. My dad realised he had about 4 bags of fruits. The last one was green grapes. and said that he had about 12K Rs.  Before leaving, we had lost about half the people. some were burning in the plaster mummies of Mt Vesuvius shape and others only heads on the floor. We dont know who did it. When we are standing in a building, with many arches, front exposed, a jeep comes by 3 to 4 times. we try to stand in such a way that the cuboid columns will give us protection from fire. Then a men are two come out of it and impress upon us how the buildings around are huge newspaper ones and that we should leave.

6.30.15 dream. last night I saw the poem in the de Mezzo Il mare about the plaster mummies of Mt Vesuvius.

When we miss somebody

how does the scene
look
to an outsider

an unfinished painting
with white silhouette
of the missing person

*********
From an unfinished painting

Painting Successful Watercolours from Photographs




Poetry Prompts:
1. Removing or Adding elements from photo to painting (Isnt that what memory does?)
2. Imagining a photo in a different season.
3. Work outwards from focal point

Anything protected

Atoll Hurricane

is for Hurricane
to be safe
from it

Hurricane action
resembles the
cross section
of a human body
with the storm
rotating up the spine
and building winds
around the border
of the body

Flexible Work

Vase

Have you seen a
potter tease a vase
out of rotating
wet clay

Five Directions to My House

Five directions to my house

1. An invisible green lawn in the backyard
2. A pond

Unsame

Peer and Peer

According to dictionary one peer's origin
1175-1225; Middle English per Old French per <Latin pār equal

and another's origin
1585-95; perhaps aphetic variant of appear

two different words
different paths
sound same
but mean
other

A dictionary
is the register
of births and
deaths
of words

Who ate whom?

Black Glass Still Life with Fish, Pear and Skeleton

The pear
human skeleton
and the
fish

all have
a skeleton

If the fish
and pear were
not edible

If the fish
ate the man

or the pear
ate him

The fish
ate the man

The pear ate
him

What ate him

Grilling Tongs

Just the metal ones
get hot
making it no good
for grilling
Serving Tongs
they call them


Ones with a
rubber handle
are for grilling
 



But if you
grill after dark
then you need
tongs with
LED Lights.
