overwhelming material to be read — written - looked at - digested
the grass growing — trees - weeds — etc —
the birds
the sun — hot — remembrances of desert — a book of poems on the west remembered a year later —
Phoenix — Grand Canyon — colors of sand and stone — the lack of green — overwhelming vegetation here
there it is space — landscape — here everything is closed in
there — open — the psychological perspective of being closed in and of vast openness that will overwhelm —
man over nature (in nature) or nature (in man?) over man (overman) — vast spaces or life — emptiness —
mars landscape — Venus deadly gas heat — Venus goddess — deadly — heat — heat of the sun —
incessant sound of the sparrows overlay the pages
“Can we then go on speaking about time, tense and temporal differences” p210
interweave of systems of writing — Cantos — languages I don’t know — words — structures — layers of meaning associations — heat and cold
sex — sun — (sun father Ammon — Derrida on Plato — Theuth)
6/22
Sunday — the way different systems of writing come together — thinking about (?’s)
meme idea from Hofstadter in some of Derrida — also his mention of Gödel — images ideas —
of the way the book should be put together (Mallarmé to read) — stacks of pages in one place —
a few lines in another etc — horizontal and vertical formats of the binding —
a brilliance of ideas rush on p251 which I don’t quite understand but understand intuitively —
reverberations to my own text — to take all of my writings and make a series of pages out of them —
the idea of writing dates etc — but the problem of how these notes fit into or on or in the page —
separate the past — not a part and not separate — not separate but apart (examples)
the concept of the fold — Derrida Burroughs — fold out pages
pages of mylar with different colored sections (a map a body — geometrical figures)
((Simon)) that overlay — overlap to show different angles or aspects
