Tom Orange (D.C., USA): from A Day in Switzerland
from A Day in Switzerland
8:48 am
To defend oneself
from the images
one cannot love—
memory's false
undertow
*
7:45 am
Faced with existence
I take off my pants
and proceed with
a somnambulist's clarity
*
4:32 am
I want to believe
the same eyes as mine
*
8:56 pm
People willing the familiar thirst
for infinite novelties of personality
*
7:30 am
Like the magician's
eye it opens
your sex in my hand
*
3:39 am
You have found
no stupidity
that others have
not already discovered
*
2:51 pm
I'm afraid
I smoke the
indulgent
passions of
the brain
perhaps
without
first searching
for the fires
of inexperience
*
6:39 am
To what extent
do we begin to
present knowledge
without understanding?
*
9:09 am
The Buddha goes
to smoke hashish
in the church
of amorous ideas
*
9:24 am
Gently the eternal
subconscious excites
my desire to lose
the changing line
of memory's furrows
*
10:10 pm
Why I do not
believe in the
particularly
good taste
of people
too long
*
12:31 am
The more
beautiful
you are
to look
would break
my heart
*
1:24 am
Now take
a walk
with me
and see
what is
happening
*
2:16 am
A well-organized heart
knows how to
fall asleep on
good footing
*
5:09 pm
The dangerous seduction
of philosophy is a
vampire empiricism
which proceeds to
consolidate wisdom
on the horizon
of its desire
*
1:26 am
I proceed to paint
an explanation of
existence as if
the character of
curiosity existed
beyond our reason
*
12:53 am
I seek the astonishment
of all the illusions that
bind reason to its
depository of dreaming
*
2:34 am
Man tries
to escape
labyrinths
of doubt
through
the light
of stars
that are
dead phantoms
of certainty
*
6:10 am
I
admire
your
eyes
Will
you
help
me
