5/6

where are (the words)
NYC — early AM — ‘Body Electric’ — street sounds and building sounds
something is missing

should I write letters
should I write anything

I move from subject to subject — have the sci-fi in mind but should finish the RRR text — whatever it is or will be


an image of something that’s there but not there — a peripheral book
surrounding something or at the center
I like that play or shift between inside and outside — entering a hole and finding a world — seeking the void and finding plenitude — the matrix idea has something of that — life after death etc

<references notes i can’t find>

dematerialization
rematerialization


something on buying memory etc — being rich in the matrix — revolution etc — erasure — living in the margins or interspaces idea or ‘image’ from Synners

<novel ideas>


mixing essay text etc in with the fiction — as more and more is integrated into the book the book disintegrates


the top of the buildings — a plume of black smoke — red bush in the garden across the street — 34 or 35 stories — hard to count — 4 apartments per floor probably

black leggings black tights black hose
ambient sexuality — a girl walking her dog — scooping up dog shit

biennial no good at all


bought a lot of books — decided no more this year — except the Pepper book if I can find it
