Picking up found object from where I left off
Preface: Today is World Poetry Day. I found out on the day. My last poem 'Retrogerminate' was two years ago. The same time I caught my first case of Covid:
The principal of planting a seed such as a historical black&white broadcast to be harvested in the future to act as a temporal bridge is discussed by Jacques Derrida in their discourse on Telepoiesis — poetry at long distance. Poetry over time?
The repetition of a black&white thought-image returned around a week ago and somehow I feel this return to be resolution of sorts if not, a carbon-copy of rationality.
I made a slip in search terms on the way. I typed in "telesemiotics" and got this
Maybe -semiology is a better affix in that I'm dealing with screens in my time as mental health patient for over 20 years.
An empire of premorbid signs
- pressured speech
- labile mood
- hyper-aroused
/sexual
/vigilant
- get disorganised
- noisy brain wot
- achromatic thought-image
- hearing voices and moving voices internally
- tangential and incomplete thinking and speaking
- knight's move thinking
- garrulous grandiloquence (not my hyperbole)
- intrusive thought-images like sunbursts through my body
- traumatic catastrophising at the moment of psychosis
- broken sleep
- return to achromatic thought over time via a linear recalibration through poetry and meds
or something
like Land's spinal catastrophe
without the histrionics and way too I am very intelligent conservatism.
We both share dancing but literally some of us are still Marxists
