Finding an EMPTY SPACE is my graduation project!
Whether you like it or not; everything changes and the world around us is chaotic, weird, and incomprehensible. Yet, here we are! All breathing, reading Pinterest captions, and sometimes even typing behind typewriters.
Writing on a typewriter allowed me to create visual compositions in a completely different manner than I would on a computer. Other than being sensitive to mistakes and being time-expensive, the typewriter offers a grid where creation might be limited but therefore feels limitless.
You type it, you see it, and it’s there on paper. It is the sounds of the keys, the rolling of the paper, and the rewinding of the sentence. The way you can softly press or SMASH IT IN.

William S. Burroughs: A Man Within review by Kaja Popko
William S. Burroughs: A Man Within explores the life of a Beat writer who was arguably the grittiest and most bedeviling of the group. Despite his association with punk and grunge, Burroughs's work was lyrically plaintive and his voice provided a window to his ineffable sadness. The documentary features interviews with Burroughs and his admirers, but they frustratingly only alight on his literary significance when speaking in terms of personal influence. Leyser attempts to equate Burroughs's gun fetishism with Hunter S. Thompson's recklessness, but Burroughs's most accomplished fiction was the boiling run-off of his inner-demon-induced sweat. Burroughs epitomized the 20th-century ideal of the over-educated libertine and forever changed the conversation about sexual orientation, but his last boyfriend recounts an evening where he confessed his love, only to be laughingly dismissed. A Man Within persuasively argues that Burroughs's most dangerous addiction might have been the refusal of love.

Autumn 2021
Does dirt taste different with context?
Does sand change under your thumb?
I could’ve swore the wind sang my favorite melody,
knew my birthday, loved my mum
How small is life here
and how big nothingness!
How I dont have words for any of these things
I don’t, I don’t, I don’t
Not only for how things are
but for how things can be
These don’t mean much of anything to me
I look forward
See darkness
Look upward
See light
Look down and
See nothing
Look left and
See right
Cahoots with the phantom
in wait with the key
Not ever presenting
less beckoned by thee
So how many miles
still to Babylon?
It’s threescore miles and ten
And can I get there
just by candlelight?
Yea, and back again
Yea, and back again
Yea, and back again
Yea, and back again
.
.
The sun,
The candle,
The lantern...
I will write it down in fire
and live inside it.
And put my fear
between it all
Away again,
where the wind
worships me asleep
Out there on the porch
Face in the window,
please be my reflection.
.
.
Your heart is the thinker
Your brain cools the blood
Your hands merely surface
to hold dirt and mud
Your eyes are a picture
In front is the screen
The things that you’re knowing
are not what they seem
So too is the tonguing
So desperate for taste
But in different context
A solid is paste
So what is to make of
The life that we live
When all that remains is
what’s left from the sieve
What’s dropped there between
the holes in perception
Flows out to the ocean
in its own direction
Be wary of movement
Be wary of “sure”
They’re tricks sent from heaven
as poison, as lure
.
.
The skeletons even
say “Isn’t he thin?”
And I stand to reason
with flesh they stood in
How can, so undying,
a memory fade?
Deep wells in my heart
Slow deaths in the shade
A community of lions
and devils and dirt
Whose only sole purpose
was contemplate hurt
And champion unwilling
Though willing too they seem
I’d ask what you were doing
but not know what you mean
Some bread left naked
My skin without freckle
My teeth stand unsharpened
My heart knows no courage
.
.
Oh beautiful bridge,
I cross you and leave the town
and see you stretch
in another day
against some other crossing
Looking the same but different
Older yet sometimes new
It’s hard to think I recognize you
Oh beautiful bridge,
I cross you and go into town
.
.
“” It was a beautiful sight
The struggle of carp
To regain their abode
Before the river dried up
To a trickle and trap
There in strange pools of water
You would not need a line
You would not need a hook
You could leave those at home
You would always return
Where no drama repeats
It was a sin to catch them
It was worse to eat them
They are part of the people
Under blankets of nets “”

exploring the fediverse
…
I’m exploring the #fediverse looking for Italian and/or .EN and/or .FR #experimentalwriting — and traces of #asemicwriting too.
But it seems like very very few people dealing with that kind of stuff live under the fediverse free flag. (Is anyone out there?!)
I have (and I like and use a lot) my #mastodon space here: @
