                                           Forward About Nothing


I’ve always been somewhat aware of the unthinkable totality of the infinite.  Throughout my struggle with or ignorance of this perception, i always looked upon art as a way of subjecting the massless eternity into objective material form. Soon after reading the bop-steaming unconsciousness that is Mexico City Blues by J. Kerouac, I was hyper-exhilarated, dumbfounded, and struck bluntly with an instrument of pure, free, heretical poesy.  While I have no real interest in any style, per se, i realized an opportunity within myself to be inspired by the cult-heroic example of the boundless flow of formlessness into a uniquely receptive plenum of material cognition.

I have developed a fascination with the idea of infinity being more like the word “nothing” than any other phrase, word, symbol or concept of which I am aware. This led me to decide to write about nothing.  Since such an endeavor can be taken both literally and figuratively, I would now have free reign to avoid all planned prosodic convention. Also, that a material act of amalgamating the Void Goddess into words is über-profound to the extent of being necessarily an indiscriminate sleep journal of ideas, visions, pronouncements, like a metaphysical Rorschach test, I could now use this process of writing as a way of receiving the signals of God without identifiable bias.  

These conditions for writing produced several moments of tangenting thought, line-starting from the circle of unequivocal dissoluteness.  This is why the form and meter of each Verse often appears alien to each other.  Also, I instinctively and randomly chose to accentuate none or more words in each verse by use of brackets and all caps.  This happened in order to further enhance the free associative inadvertence of the “message” being conducted.

With that, I give you this: nothing.
