Trans

     “The D.J. Speaks”

“O.K. imps, snot-freaks, pill-elves, hi-fi fairy-fury flipsters and intelligences, its out, all out now onto the rooftops—

Your only chance left now is to come out here into the naked star-fright and freak it out alone.

Yes, out until it’s scared the living Fainlights out of you; jumping you out of your star-split wits and back into your sprite mind.

Released in your new fledged LSD lieutenantries above the cities of the West—

Luftpost TV antennae-quivering falconries suddenly checking in the new-alerted starlight as you realize some fresh gleaming ledge of intelligence on which to alight.

—Was it witch I said then? Yes, witch-kids, witch-kids, riding out on your broomstick wavebands night after night.

Behind their mumbo-jumboing guitars, each group another coven of them—

                                         Trans—

                      Trance—

TranceSISters shrieking the bisexual superhet electronic guts out of them coast to coast and trans— atlantic and all the way back round again and again and again—the hair of those trance atlantic telephonists left crackling behind them.

And then up— up and round the whole Van Allen belt and back tingling with ions! —The whole billion brain-valved telepathic wavelength left blasted behind them.

And then finally off— off blowing that long cool solo out into space you never want to come back from but must, must for this final chorus when the whole heavy nuclear combo starts laying it down— blasting the dumb-ox blockbusters out of your old conventional consciousness—

                                        WHAT?

you think this is just some little railway sidings halloween or something? No baby, this is the real H-bomb witch stuff flying around in here tonight so just you mind your spooks and cues and smile, SMILE cause you know this only that little D.J. joke your D.J. daddy’s been having with you all this while. You know, that old saggy god story about how this week again ‘The Eve of Destruction’ will be going like a Bomb.”

—Harry Fainlight (The Paris Review no. 39, Fall 1966)

"A dyke, according to geology, is a sheet of magma born in a fracture. Dykes are best understood as the veins of a volcano, coursing hot and varicose toward the surface to erupt. Because of this, dykes are always younger than the body of rock in which they’ve made their home. Born differently than the mother rock, they make their presence known in rebel coloration: black against white, striped against mottled, crystal against sand. Geologists consider dykes intrusive formations, in part because they were formed underground until exposed."

Batman Black & White: The Lesson × Life Doesn't Frighten Me by Maya Angelou

[poems-of-the-anentomologist]

my f key is broken

I know where this love leads

A blaze that will kill us both

I’ll hold you tight

And you’ll hold me tighter back

Almost to say,

“To die with you would not be death,

But merely a brief pause”

Until I’m born again to love you

Not everyone is born to do great things

Some are here just to inspire others to do great things

And in doing so,

Become great themselves

[dinoswordsb]

Meaninglessness! Meaningless!

Screamed the Teacher at their students,

The world does not listen to you!

Why should it?

Everything you say is wrong

Everything you say is worthless

Everything you say is ugly

What friends? What hope?

Learn to be hurt and no one can hurt you

Learn to be sad and no one can sadden you

Learn to be nothing and no one can a thing to you

Meanwhile…

Your best friend ignores you

Your spouse turns you away

Your god demands gifts

And you still have to work tomorrow to qualify for the privilege of giving your money away

That is the lesson today folks

Try not to laugh

I’m serious

I’m not crying, you are

Do you think Mary knew that her son was dead the moment he was born?

Do you think she held her baby and knew that no matter how much suffering he soothed, how many people helped it would never be enough? Did she know that the only way for him to live up to his father's expectations was to break his mother's heart?
