6/5_p5

my surroundings — 12:04
the sound of birds — starling arrives to feed its babies — a dull grey day

sound of cars — these similar passages

reverberations in time
reflections — refractions

words that immediately associate with others — Simon’s method in Conducting Bodies (Robbe-Grillet)

associate — ass — slight motion of the ass in grey skirt — the larger motion of the rest of the leg — back and forth of the thigh — stride of the calves — muscles of young legs — the growing body awareness that I like — feeling of being in time with the fashion of the 80’s

am I modern or post-modern

shades of the same thing
shades of grey
black and white

14:17
the page of my age — Simon p37

the writing of a novel
a novel that takes place entirely in this room over several days (the time of the writing — self centered — I do this that — interweave descriptions etc — book pages — read and write — an idea I won’t carry out — (it would be interesting to follow that statement with such a novel — an idea I won’t carry out
reflections on infinity)

<12/11/91
i think of the possibilities here — the search or research for such passages could be part of the book — looking through old notes which integrate with new passages — as i write and rewrite — search and research — recherche — what is lost in time — to time
this note ‘thrown’ in a different time ‘tossed off’ — 5 years ago — make a note in my shame pages pointing to this — what day was it — june 5 — i wrote 25 instead of 5 — why>

< reflection in infinity all the rooms that could be this room — now this room is in texas previously it was in new york>

the 3 book covers Conducting Bodies — faceless figure in front of anonymous skyscrapers — The Mind’s I — a Magritte eye — should I try to describe it — Structural Anthropology — primitive figure — Haida — wooden hat
