Reading
Olson, of Tartarós & Typhon
think:
what do I know & what is knowledge:How will I know that what I learn is new
knowledge, not information (data) forgotten?
Back to Ulysses, Bloom & Dedalus,
kitchen prowlings of a sudden become
cosmology, theology; going again
to vying titans in primordial soup
& down again, and yet again, again,
to microcosmospherical theoretical
Melvillian depth. Charles—like Baruch,
a choking smoker : Benedictus favord
a pipe of peace, legitimate piety;
surrenderd his inheritance to a
gaffing sister; waived a high & haughty
hoity-toity chair for quiddity,
solitude, text, joy, & Love of God—
lordly leapt. See Joyce a hunert nearly
yrs ago, prolix & cloacal, w/ his hat
& wee round spectacles, mts of books
in leaning & lopsided piles about him
notes, reference tomes, dictionary,
to build it up, & keep it going: therefor
let us continue, & keep it. Pound's
Cantos, Olson's salty Maximus Poems :
items of memory history Kulchur ,
external to electric head machines,
exterior & available to others:
Other, essential in beginnings, myths;
stories & tales of lore: the Field
& Knower of the Field = quantum physics;
witness alters outcomes, Watchers watch:
Enoch, Daniel, elsewhere? in Scripture,
epic struggles, forces in collision
Keats sang in his Hyperion, vast
unconscionable & mysterious incest,
Kronos, Gaia ? Erde-Mutter, Mahler's
ich bin von Gott und will wieder zu Gott :
second symphony, Ressurection, eternal
consciousness: its beauty had us in tears
at first blush, early twenties, even then
in chune someway, somehow, a wannabe
Jew, this pale & christend merican Catholic,
unchurcht & unconfirmed, who feard the wafer
wd stick in his throat; who feared the water
atop his head; who feard to sign the cross
to Father, Son, & Holy Ghost, what ? Ghost ?
A ghost! Who feard the gentle cow, the silly
chicken; who feard the ants he dreamd
when father sd: Billy, they're in yr head,
& panic-stricken believed & wishd the ants
wld go out of his head, that never did,
but hisssd & hisssd, like swarms when sleep
was coming ¶ What is coming? geometric
