SHOULD COULD WOULD

roots & branches
tree <?> the structure of this writing

CHAOS would be too complex to diagram COMPLEXITY
RANDOM CHOICES (somewhat oxymoronic)

RANDOMIZE ELEMENTS OF THE TEXT
ELEMENTARY

ARBITRARY ELIMINATE
ADD SUBTRACT
MULTIPLY DIVIDE

(metaphors for this writing although i don’t do much subtraction — i don’t like to get rid of things — not even words
an hour of writing — getting tired

————

my idea is to put up pages and then develop & change them later —
no page is ever ‘perfected’ —
a final state is arbitrary — depending on when i can no longer write
(but the possibility of someone else changing them will continue)
(note on artists always being wrong — there’s always a better way to do it)
(retract that — most artists are usually wrong — perfect pieces — one of the ones i consider perfect was always open for change — FW — i can’t image a klimt getting any better — 'the large glass' was not finished — perfectly)

PERFECTION
REFLECTION
CONCEPTION

not only the words and arrangements — the pages — can change but the entire concept of the ‘book’ — ‘the work’ - 'this text' can be changed —
