then there's the quantum problem of being itself:::::
the old cosmologies and cosmogenies (the stories of
universe-creation)
appear to have an element within them of coming to terms
with good and
evil, and a third force that could be divine capriciousness,
fate... On
some level do the beauties and uglinesses we creat have a
moral dimension
to them. Say you are driving through the Utah canyons, some
of the most
beautiful and mysterios places on earth, and you come upon
the once sleepy
town of Moab that has transformed into a garish neon, plastic,
and
fluorescent jumble of cheapness ans commercial
screaming-for-attention
around the all important issues of cheeseburgers, motels with
waterbeds,
and balls of fried horseshit dipped in cherry colored glaze...
yet this
spectacle, meta-spectacle actually it is so self conscious of
spectacle-consciousness it says see here hungry people in a
car driving
south I am all your childhood memories fed back through
themselves like
oroborous swallowing its tail and giving birth to a nest of
memory-eggs
where you can buy fries and sixty four ounce coke in a bucket
like you died
and went to heaven for some people and like you took bad
acid for other
people then you stay in *motel degree zero* like a capuchin
monk's cell and
watch a thirty year old color teevee that is so funky you are
closer to
channeling elizabeth claire profit than being at one with the
minds of
great decision makers and god-children du jour on letterman
and its back to
bad acid until you speed off across the navajo reservation
thru tuba city
and other middle of nowhere and once again viva las vegas
riverrun down
past eve and adam's yes I will yes maybe not.
