au!50 - Er las unter der Dusche
Er war ein komischer Typ. Er schrieb die Ränder der Bücher voll. Zum Glück habe ich ihm nie eins geliehen. Warum? Weil ich es nicht mag, wenn jemand in meine Bücher kritzelt. Und dann machte er noch etwas viel Verrückteres als Bücherränder vollschreiben. Es mag unglaublich klingen, aber er duschte mit einem Buch. Ehrenwort. Er las unter der Dusche. Woher ich das weiß? Ganz einfach. Alle seine Bücher waren von Feuchtigkeit aufgequollen. Am Anfang dachte ich, das komme vom Regen, U. war ein eingefleischter Fußgänger, nahm nur selten die Metro, ging kreuz un dquer durch ganz Paris, und wenn es regnete, war er völlig durchnäßt, denn er blieb nie stehen und wartete, bis der Regen aufhörte. Deshalb waren seine Bücher, jedenfalls die, die er meistens las, zerknittert und wie aus Pappe, und ich dachte, der Regen sei daran schuld. Aber eines Tages sah ich, wie er mit einem trockenen Buch ins Badezimmer ging und danach mit einem, das ganz feucht war, wieder herauskam. An jenem Tag siegte meine Neugier über meine Zurückhaltung. Ich ging und nahm ihm das Buch weg. Nicht nur der Umschlag war feucht, auch einige Seiten und sogar die Bemerkungen am rand, mit vom Wasser aufgelöster Tinte geschrieben, einige womöglich sogar unter fließendem Wasser, und ich sagte, mein Gott, ich kann's einfach nicht glauben, liest du etwa unter der Dusche? Bist du völlig durchgedreht? Er sagte, er könne nicht anders, und außerdem lese er nur Gedichte, eine Einschränkung, deren tiefere Gründe ich in jenem Moment nicht verstand, heute weiß ich, was er meinte, er wollte sagen, daß er nur drei oder vier Seiten lese und kein ganzes Buch, ...

au!49 - Mr. Molyneux has a Problem
A Man, being born blind, and having a Globe and a Cube, nigh of the same bignes, Committed into his Hands, and being taught or Told, which is Called the Globe, and which the Cube, so as easily to distinguish them by his Touch or Feeling; Then both being taken from Him, and Laid on a Table, Let us Suppose his Sight Restored to Him; Whether he Could, by his Sight, and before he touch them, know which is the Globe and which the Cube? Or Whether he Could know by Sight, before he stretch'd out his Hand, whether he Could not Reach them, tho they were Removed 20 or 1000 feet from Him?

I Say I Say I Say
Anyone here had a go at themselves
for a laugh? Anyone opened their wrists
with a blade in the bath? Those in the dark
at the back, listen hard. Those at the front
in the know, those of us who have, hands up,
let’s show that inch of lacerated skin
between the forearm and the fist. Let’s tell it
like it is: strong drink, a crimson tidemark
round the tub, a yard of lint, white towels
washed a dozen times, still pink. Though luck.
A passion then for watches, bangles, cuffs.
A likely story: you were lashed by brambles
picking berries from the woods. Come clean, come good,
repeat with me the punch line ‘Just like blood’
when those at the back rush forward to say
how a little love goes a long long long way.

The dance opens with an invocation (tamawouet) intoned by a solist and the vocal part is then developed by way of an antiphonal pattern. The melody, based on short, strongly-rhythmic and repeated phrases, is chromatic. The basic rhythm, charactersistic of the Ahouach, is constructed on a pattern of 3/8 and 3/4au!47 - art.or.no.
There is no such thing as progress or improvement in art.
There is art or no art.
There is nothing in between.
There is art or no art.
There is nothing in between.

"... you who think
you will
get through hell in a hurry...
That day there was cloud over Zoagli
And for three days snow cloud over the sea
Banked like a line of mountains.
Snow fell. Or rain fell stolid, a wall of lines
So that you could see where the air stopped open
and where the rain fell beside it
Or the snow fell beside it. Seventeen
Years on this case, nineteen years, ninety years
on this case
