A gallery of free speech
The text below is a transcript that I kept while being involved with research of the emergence of a global phenomenon: cyberchat. In virtual "theme rooms" a motley group of individuals of all ages, and every imaginable ethnic and intellectual background engage in sometimes lively discourse, but fall mostly victim to mindless bickering and posturing using AOL Instant Messenger as their favorite tool. At its best this service represents my notion of a "commune" as mentioned in my previous post.

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all"

In the light of the current discussion about the pledge of allegiance and court ruling in the US I thought of an alternative:

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of a global commune, and to the cause for which it stands, one body under God and Allah, invincible, with security and free speech for all"

Another vision? Mail: straypixel@hotmail.com

Stone gold (for T)

I slap my head and say:
"How could I forget the pebbles bouncing off
the Cody Reservoir surface and the big rainbow
breaking from its ultramarine depths?"
Stones are what revenue I have.
As I prepare for sleep, my bed offers
a short respite from adversity, before
self imposed exile in a shelter of stone
In one of my dreams, a rock breaks off
a mountain to incite a small avalanche of
debris and rubble that rolls down barren slopes,
continues to plunge forth over sharp edged cliffs
scattering a barrage of pebbles into the lake below
with a sudden spasm of rippling halos.
Behold! This is an awesome sight
I won't hold the stones ransom for damage inflicted
as they lodge and hibernate inside my system
My organic tract has become a pit, constantly
trashed by steady deposits of
tribulation and botched endeavor
Do stones provoke to act?
I chose to challenge the wrongheaded mountain
and gather from her foothills a collection of grit:
the grain of corn, the gallstone
the timepiece, the fossilized maggot
and the miniature obelisk
Do not omit the ball of wax, keeper
and guardian of my vigil?
I noticed that my savings are small and do not
permit space for heartfelt excess
Secretly I have preserved though,
a treasure trove of artifice and good intentions
I joined halves of buttons into gems for you
For lack of means consider them metaphors
of disparate parts of me, stones
that may serve as fortune-stirring dice
Please tumble them for me, and since you shine
brighter then myself, reemploy your skill of
forcing fate to run a charted course as if it were
by chance?

White giant

The white cat sitting on the ledge of the open kitchen window of the apartment on the other side of the street, fell down three times already, unscathed sofar. Not long ago my opposite neighbour used to sit in her place, windows wide open with his back facing the street. A heavy smoker and a giant of a man, with exceptionally big feet that forced him to wear custom made shoes. He smoked his cigarettes there and read his paper, rain or shine, often dressed in pijamas only. He loved to make long walks, but never saluted anyone in the neighborhood. Last year he deceased.The white cat is an occasional lodger with his widow, an elderly woman of German descent, an introvert person with a great sense of style. She talks with a heavy German accent, and has an unusual gift for noticing quirks, resentment, and paradox resident in our culture. The white cat is watchful; seemingly irreverent of physical danger. She keeps the street under close surveillance, almost as if she's expecting the giant to return and reclaim his place.
