The Splintering Frame

[Phil Dragoo]

Stan, unitary perception

In the morning my lover comes to me and tells me of her dream
with no attempt to shovel the glimpse into the ditch of what each one means

Fool on the hill
versus the doorman from Op 40

Stan rightly observes strategy of tension

Passenger 57 faces a Red Brigadier who asserts
I believe in nothing

(we know him to be that stateless dormant cell of Prouty's Tale)

Meeting the sea on lysergic acid diethylalamide is a path
and while life and time are a razor's edge or a broad avenue
exclusive of the two percent evil operators
and the three percent pursuants of that Marley Harley ride for cosmic beer
the sheep will follow, to be sheared or slaughtered or sung to by the shepherd

We await the postcard with word whether the philosopher-poet was a man dreaming he was a butterfly
or a butterfly dreaming he was a man
and Charles would say, why either/or?

Why suffer over the inability to do that which you-are-there/you-are-John-Lennon/and-the-cast-and-crew "cannot"

At some point the teacup into the saucer into the sea

Peter observes

Those who seek to control others make 'frames' and try to prevent looking beyond them and controlling what can be seen and discerned within them.

Among the myriad examples, Zapruder

This is the bell jar
but
we tire of the vacuum

So high above the ants
but with far less "sense of purpose"

Give me the beat, boys



As Stan observes

There is nothing they can do to stop the awakening mind.

And as Peter points out, the last attempt to do so (9/11) presents as blowback

There are laws
