Telephone Call and Serenissima & Exciplex

What would happen if we threw out every convention of the printed page and started over with blank paper and unconstrained invention?

AT FIRST THE SOUND OF THE BELL FRIGHTENS YOU, HITS YOU WITH ITS POWER. IT IS LOUD, IT IS SUDDEN, IT IS RESONANT, IT AWAKENS, IT BRINGS THE UNKNOWN. IT MAKES YOU BLUSH, CAUSES YOU TO STOP, ISOLATE YOUR DOMINANT ESTHETIC, REVEALS AND GIVES RISE TO SYMBOLIC DIFFERENCES. BUT THE STOPPING GIVES YOU THE POWER TO CONTEMPLATE. EVERY TIME YOU OPEN YOUR MOUTH YOU FIND IN IT REASONS. THUS THE BELL REVEALS THE ILLUSION OF SYMBOLIC DIFFERENCES, SHOWS YOU THE INTIMACY BETWEEN INTELLECT AND IMAGINATION, BETWEEN POWER AND MYTH. IT THUS WAS CONCEIVED TO BE PAID ATTENTION TO. ITS SOUND THEN IS MAGIC, THE ANALOG EQUIVALENT OF HUMAN BEHAVIOR. KNOWING YOUR SECRETS IT THUS COMES TO CONTROL YOU, YOUR IDENTITY, YOUR FORM, THEIR RELATIONSHIP TO YOUR SPECULATIVE BEHAVIOR, THE SPECIFIC RELATIONSHIP. IF ITS SYMBOL WORKS FOR YOU, IT THUS GAINS YOUR POWER. IT CREATES THE TEMPLE OF THINGS THAT LET YOU SEE DIFFERENTLY, HENCE ANNOUNCING THE CREATION OF A NEW SYSTEM, NAMELY THAT EVERY GOD'S DUTY IS TO DRIVE AWAY REASON.

My dad’s a tenor sings a lot of songs by a very old Armenian composer named Gomidas. I used to go to sleep to Gomidas when I was a little girl. One day when I was about six, he bought me a piano. I walked in and there was. When I was fourteen I stopped playing for about eight months. That summer I went to the Soviet Union and saw fourteen-year-olds playing very difficult Chopin etudes in concerts. I realized unless I started up again I’d waste away to nothing. When you sit down and play music, you have to try to bring back the feeling the composer intended add your own nuances personal touch faaaasssster here ssl l l o o o w w w w e r r there...

Born in Muleford, Indiana. Left with my parents and younger brother when I was ten.

Moved to Washington State, Richland, in the southeast corner. Plutonium plants, atomic frontier days.

The line between playing it the way it was written and too much of your own touch touch much touch much of your own touch touch too much of your own touch is really a fine one. When I put my own touch into a piece, it comes out as colors. Each piece requires a different kind of color different color touch touch color and you touch touch, touch touch and you touch much

We moved, traveled through the South, settled in Texas near Dallas, traded the house trailer in on two house cats and a filling station on two acres with a peach orchard.

SHARPEN PENCILS. CLEAN POOL.

Sold it and moved on, back through the Midwest, south to Florida, back, stopped in California that fall.

FIX SHELF. WATER PLANTS.

Next summer, after a little more rambling, moved back to Washington, North Richland this time, then West Richland and a house along the Yakima River.

Dad worked on construction and we lived in a twenty-five-foot house trailer.

Me and my brother taking turns on a harmonica till we got pooped, and out of boredom making paper B-36s and Starfighters.

Western towns, guns, special effects places, comic books.

Soaking up all that stuff, finding freedom in a car traveling all over the planet, in the summertime swimming and playing ball with my newest set of pals.

Stuffed into the cracks of the back seat, where long plays and dramas took place, people fought and died, got hung, torn in half, crayoned and pencilled and storytold to pieces.

A place where you could do as you pleased! It saved my life!

Growing up! What a concept!

Bach flowed, counterpoint style is supposed to be supposed supposed to be played as if on a harpsichord, two hands two keyboards. Romantic music is long lines lissajous long lines lines like when you touch me lines when you love me lines lingering lines long lines oh! lines going up and down, coming in and out, changing color, changing color, lissajous. Romantic phrasing is the hardest. Long, watery lines have to blend. When the phrasing isn’t right when the lines aren’t right the colors aren’t right the piece seems like it’s three hundred miles long. When I start a piece I study it—the right hand part, the left hand part, left right left right left right hand hand the hand part put them together, both hands, no color, don’t color them, no color then, no, not then, oh no, not then, I’m still dry then. Then I drop it awhile—maybe a month or two—work on another piece, then go back to the first piece. I’ll open the book and say, “My God, this music has matured!”

When you practice a piece over and over, your ear gets bland to it. I get a headache, NOT NOW! And then when I put it away and come back, EVERYTHING FALLS INTO PLACE.

Sometimes I can’t distinguish one detail from another hundreds of projects all over the place in here hundreds of projects all over the place in here yet somehow the work gets done even the strips of shibori even the strips of shibori the evironment determines its own performance you get too involved it's the involvement that's the performance you’re in love with it even if it is technical things you’re in love with it even if it is technical things like finding the right size lid to fit on things or the right color of cloth the right color of cloth it becomes its own moment

the name the name of the mask, not the dance, the mask lasts only for a few performances

the Balinese burn their artworks after the performance the Balinese burn their artworks after the performance As a child I wasn't Balinese, I went to the zoo a lot

You can't tell what happens when art goes onto a piece of stick

You can't tell what happens when art goes onto a piece of stick the stick gets covered with fimo clay sandwiched into May colors rolled rolled flat like cookie dough, folded into shapes flat like cookie dough, folded into shapes press and formed into a loaf into a loaf cut slices off the loaf, roll those into sheet roll them flat roll them flat then press in to the mold of the face of the face

the zoo's an imaginary club with imaginary language but nobody could join so I had no members. The zoo made me look like the costumes make you perform? the flowers made me perform I needed their colors so I could ignite.

That was where you got the confidence?

That was where you got the confidence? I did ballet and flute but I couldn’t remember the steps or the notes, I was intimated intimidated?

No, intimated stalemated by trust in myself

It's simple fimo, really, anyone can do it the face you are when we dance? Then bake the face. Sand it. The glaze face comes off and what you have and what you have is the millifiore face, the face of a thousand colors the face of a thousand gods, the source of all the gods the face of a thousand gods, the source of all the gods bands of colors like geological strata colors many colors many colors one

and make more things? and make more things? needed to make a superlight costume a costume for places where even a toothbrush is too heavy so make your next costume on a gram scale translate mechanical effort to the thing itself into its sensual self

In the morning I wake up it feels so good I feel the back of the back, feel the tickle spots, elbows, feel really alive, things start growing off me, they go into my costumes. My cat doesn’t like to sleep on my lap; I don’t sitstill. My mother had the painter’s equivalent of perfect pitch.She could could match colors exactly. That’s where I learned the piano. Fell in love with the piano. Then my dad taught me how to work with tools, be handy, and I noticed the zoo was theatre. Like Gomidas?

No, Gomidas was not costumes the theatre was costumes Can;'t you see I want to touch you I want to touch you I want I want to I loved birds as far back as I can remember. I drew some birds when I was three, made a paper eagle when I was six. Once I was sick so I drew a hummingbird. I thought If I can draw this bird I’ll be OK. When I colored the red place on the chest, it felt like a real bird and then I got well It takes time to make a costume?

The air is full of their shapes. I take the costumes from there.

the shapes of air beings energies around air beings are why you feel more alive in certain parts at certain times of the day in between the transparencies of the air things floating off like air things floating off like air thousands of things allaround our bodies and inside of them, putting us into physical form psychical form too psychical form too trapping the beings in the air? recovering all the things that happen to us during the day recovering all the things that happen to us during the day sanding through the dozens of coats of paint on the fimo sun and sky gods, myths, the names of planets turning us from a dull solid surface into a millions-sheened face

OH WHAT IT WAS! IT WAS LIKE THAT! IT WAS LIKE EVERY MOMENT BEING BORN IN THAT LAND! IT WAS A LAND WHERE IF YOU COULD BE ANYTHING, ANYTHING YOU WANTED TO BE YOU COULD BE IT YOU COULD BE ANYTHING. AND IN THAT BEING YOU COULD STAND TIMEOUTOFMIND LONG FOR THERE WAS NO TIME, TIME WAS ONLY THE MEASURE OF MOTION NOT OF MOMENT. WE COULD THUS WATCH OUR LIVES PASS AS IF THERE WAS NO PASSAGE, GROWING THICKER AND TALLER SEEING BETTER AND BETTER ALL THE WORLD THERE WAS TO SEE AROUND US GROWING AS WE GREW, MINGLING WITH ITS COLORS AND TEXTURES AND GRADATIONS AND KNOWING THE WAY A PURE THING KNOWS. LIVING THERE LIVING IN THE SUN AND THE DEPTHS OF THE MIST, LIVING WITH THE BIRDS AND THE DUSK AND THE MIST AND THE SUMMER (IT WAS ALWAYS SUMMER THERE) LIVING THERE LIVING WITH THINGS AS THEY LIVED WITH THEMSELVES REJOICING AT THE MORNING WITH ITS SINGLE THIN COLORS AND THEN WATCHING THE LIGHT’S GROWTH AS IF IT WAS OUR GROWTH FOR INDEED IT WAS. WE WERE THE LIGHT AND WE LIVED THE WAY LIGHT DOES. LISTENING TO THE MUTED RUSTLINGS OF LIFE AT OUR FEET, TALKING OUR LIGHT LANGUAGE AND KNOWING LIGHT’S WAYS AND NOT CARING THAT IN THESE THERE WERE NO RHYTHMS OR THINGS OR TIME. AND THAT, THAT, THAT, WAS HOW WE LEARNED TO HEAR TIME TALK, TALK AS SEASONLESS AS A CENTURY, AND WHATEVER WAS, WAS THIS. TIME AS THE TREE AND CREEK AND FLOWER KNEW IT, NOT A THING PASSING BUT A THING FEELING. THE THINGS WITHIN AND WITHOUT, FEELING THEM FROM MOUND TO HILL TO HOLLOW TO BOWL TO GROVE TO STREAMBANK TO POOL, FEELING OURSELVES AS WE FELT THE WORLD FOR THERE WAS NO DIFFERENCE AND IT WAS OURS AS OURS WAS. WINDING AND COILING AND DESCENDING AND JOINING AND NEVER NEVER DIVIDING IN THE SOFT CARELESSNESS OF TIME BECOMING ALWAYS LESS HURRIED THAN BEFORE UNTIL WE BECAME CARELESS EVEN OF SELF-KNOWING AND END AND

THEN WE KNEW WE UNDERSTOOD OURSELVES BECAUSE OF OUR FLOW AND WE SUDDENLY NOTICED WE WERE THE SEA. AND TO THAT WAKING UP WAS LIKE BEING BORN EVERY INSTANT AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN EVERY MOMENT A REBIRTH, OH!, AND TO WAKE UP TO IT THE EYES-OPEN FLUTTERY GUPPYLIKE WAKING-UP KISSES HUNDREDS OF THEM. WE’D KISS LIKE THAT AT FIRST AND THEN WAKE, SLOWLY WAKING TOGETHER, AND I WOULD SAY I LOVE YOU AND WOULD HEAR LOVE YOU YOUR SMELLS ARE LIKE FLOWERS AND I WOULD SAY IF GOOD LOVE MAKES GOOD BABIES WE MY LOVE ARE THE PARENTS OF ALL ANCESTORS AND COULD EVEN THEN FEEL THE FUTURE RUSTLING WITHIN ME AND I WOULD SHUSH US AND SAY WE ARE ONE AND I WOULD HEAR OUR ORGASMS, THEY WOULD BE LIKE SEASONS, SEASONS SO MANY AND SO ONE. THAT’S WHAT WE WOULD SAY THEN WE WOULD MAKE LOVE AND WHILE WE WERE I WOULD DREAM ON THE SUNDONE SKY THE DREAM OF SOME FAR FAR DAY WHEN THE SUN WOULD WARM OUR BACKS AS WE WOULD BE WORKING ALONGSIDE EACH OTHER TENDING THE SOIL, ONE OF US KNEELING AND THE OTHER SITTING ON THE GROUND AND BOTH SO NEAR UNITED BY THE SOUNDS OF OUR PRESENCE, THE SOCIABLE SOUND OF A TROWEL DIGGING INTO THE SOIL MINGLING WITH THE KNIPKNIPKNIPPING OF LAWN SHEARS AS THEY EDGE A FLOWER BED AND WE WOULD MOVE PEACEFULLY SERENE IN COMPANIONABLE SOLITUDE EACH LOST IN PERSONAL REVERIE, THE SMALL SOUNDS OF OUR DISCOMFORTS THE SORE KNEES AND LEGS FALLEN ASLEEP, THE SMALL SOUNDS OF MUSINGS, THE TELEPATHY THE NURTURING SEA, BRIDGING US, THE COHABITATING THE SHARING THE YEARS OF MIGRANT THOUGHTS, MIGRATIONS FROM THE SUN, TURNING INTO A WALK BY THE SEA. WE ONCE TOOK A WALK THERE. YOU ROSE AND BRUSHED OFF YOUR CLOTHES AND SAID, ENOUGH I’M TIRED OF THIS LET’S GO FOR A WALK BY THE SEA. AND I REMEMBERED THE DISTANT SEA THE TIMEOUTOFMINDAGO SEA TO WHICH WE HAD COME A SEA MADE EVEN MORE DISTANT BY THE LAND THE LONGAGOLAND FROM WHENCE WE HAD ARRIVED, THE LAND WHERE IT WAS LIKE THAT. AND I DON’T KNOW HOW OR WHY, BUT NOW I AM NO LONGER THE BUDDING YOUNG GIRL WITH THE GREEN RIBBON SWILLOWING FROM HER HAIR, YOU ARE NO LONGER THE PAVILION GREEN SHOOTING THE SKY FULL OF GRASS ARROWS. NOW WE ARE THE SHIVERING VEINS OF LAST YEAR, THE DEATH OF DRAGONFLIES IN THEIR CRYSTALLINE WINGS OF THIN BLUE, THE DEATH OF THE SLEEK GRASSES THAT PLAYED SUN KNGS IN THE AUTUMN’S GOLD LIGHT. NOW WE HAVE BECOME BROKEN AND WITHERED AS WE WINTER TOWARDS GRAY, OUR SMOOTHWATER RIPPLES BECOMING MYRIADS AS THEY DIE INTO THE SKY’S WHITE, THE DEATH OF THE OLD TIME AS IT SETTLES DOWN TO ITS LACE DREAM. THAT IS HOW IT WAS HOW IT BURST FROM THE CORE OF ALL THE OLD WOUNDS. AND ASKED HOW HOW WHY WHY WHERE WHERE DID THE RAGGED SCARS APPEAR, THE HALF-SHATTERED SHAPES, THE FRAGMENTS OF BOULDERS, THE FORGOTTEN TESTIMONIES, THE DULL RED HEAT, THE ASHES, THE STING, THE SCOLDS, THE HAIR BEGINNING TO THIN, THE WRINKLES AND ACHES AND BIRTH NOW SO PAINFUL. WHAT USED TO BE PERPETUITY GIVEN UNTO BEING, HOW HOW WHY WHY DID I HEAR US SAYING, I WISH COULD RIP AND SHRED AND TEAR THIS LOVE FROM MY HEART AND PUT IT TO THE MUSIC ONLY AN ARCHESTRADE WOULD STRING, AND WOULD HEAR, OH YES AND WISH TOO WISH I COULD TANGLE AND MINGLE AND BREAK YOUR LONG HAIR AND AM GLAD OUR BODIES AREN’T FLOWERS BECAUSE FLOWERS YOU MANGLE AND RIP AND TEAR THEM TO PIECES. HOW CAN YOU FEED A LOST LOVE? AND I SAID IT’S YOUR LOVE TOO AND I HEARD, I’M NOT SO SURE ABOUT THAT EITHER, BESIDES I AM NOT GOING TO FIND OUT BECAUSE THIS IS THE WAS OF A LOVE WE CREATED IT WAS BY WAS AND THEN WE SET SAIL ON IT. SO NOW SHUFFLE OH SHUFFLE OH SHUFFLE AROUND THE ROOM THE POWDERPUFF SLIPPERS AND PAINTFLAKED WALLS AND TOO MUCH HEAT.

AND ANOTHER A BLACKBIRD WITH HALF ITS WING FEATHERS LOST, AND NOW ALL OF THEM REJECTED BY THEIR OWN SPECIES AND FINDING EQUALHOOD ONLY WITH EACH OTHER. NOW EATING SIDE BY SIDE THE FOOD’S REMNANTS, EACH EXPOSED TO THE SAME RISK IN THE DARK’S LATE DYING. AND THAT IS HOW FEEL DRESSED IN MY VERY BEST MY HAT IN MY HAND TAKE THE NUMBER AND WAIT IN LINE AND IN BETWEEN THE TEA SIPS AND FILLING OF FORMS SAYING THIS CONTRACT STIPULATES THAT IF THE TOTAL MONTHLY EARNINGS SHALL EXCEED THE TOTAL MONTHLY LOSS IMMEDIATELY UPON THE BIRTH FOR WHICH THE CLAIM IS BEING MADE THE SOCIETY SHALL BE LIABLE FOR NO SUBSEQUENT CLAIMS AND AS THE BENEFITS PAID HEREUNDER SHALL NOT EXCEED THE PREMIUMS IF TIME PAYABLE AS LOST EARNINGS IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CLAIMEE FOR WHICH FURTHER RESTRICTIONS ALSO PERTAIN. HOW CAN I SAY NOW, MY DEAR SWEET LITTLE BABY, LIFE IS NOT A RIDE YOU DESERVE JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE SO LOVING AND SO YOUNG, IT IS THE SLINKY OVERGAUDY AUTOMOBILE IN THE ADS KILLING YOU FROM ITS ANAESTHETIC EXHAUSTHOLE WHILE YOU ARE UP IN THE AIR CONDITIONING SLIPSLIDING AWAY IN INCREMENTS AND TINTS TV HOUR BY TV HOUR DWINDLING ON DOWN TOWARDS DEATH IN FINGERNAIL POLISH AND SNIPPED-OFF LOOSE THREADS. MY BABY I DON’T WANT YOU TO LIVE THROUGH THAT. THE LOVE THAT BROUGHT YOU HERE I COULD SEE IN EVERY FACE AND FLOWER, THE TINY BUG ON A STONE WRITING ITS PATH WITH THE TRUTH, THE TRUTH THAT’S IN THE BOW OF THE VIOLIN: ONE FINGER HOLDS, ANOTHER GUIDES THE ARM, A THIRD FINGER PUSHES, AND A FOURTH ONE PULLS. BUT IT IS ALL OF THEM THAT MAKE THE VIOLIN SING! OH MY BABY THE FINGER THAT HOLDS THEM ALL IN BALANCE TOUCHING ONLY AS MUCH AS IT MUST, ONLY THEN DOES THE VIOLIN SING! A MUSIC SO LIGHT IT IS ALMOST NOT THERE YET GIVING A STRENGTH SO INCOMPARABLE THAT FROM START TO FINISH THERE IS NO OTHER REASON FOR LIVING. THE FACT THAT THAT ALONE WILL NEVER CHANGE, THAT IS LOVE. UNTO IT TIME IS ONLY AS DEEP AS THE DUST ON THE TABLE. ALL OUR PARABLES ARE SHADOWS OF FORGOTTEN ANCESTORS, REMEMBRANCES OF THINGS TO COME, KINGS OF KINGS, QUEENS OF QUEENS, THE GUIDE THAT IS YOUR GUIDE, YOUR PROTECTOR, YOUR COMPANION. IF THE DROP IS SWEET DRINK THEN THE FLOOD. CHILD, YOUR DAY HAS BEGUN. IT WILL BE OF WINDTOSSED SKIES AND TIME WORN THIN. IT WILL BE BEYOND PERIPHRASTIC TURNS OF PHRASE. IT WILL BE AS ONE AS THE CLOUDS WRITHING ACROSS YOUR BEING ARE ONE, THE HELIXES AND FOLDS OF YOUR LIFE ARE ONE, THE MYRIADS OF YOUR MINDTIME SIGHS ARE ONE, THE CROWS SHIVERING THEIR WAY TO THE TREES ARE ONE, THE PINK AND SKY OF YOUR TRILLION-CELL FUTURE ARE ONE, YOUR EDDIES ON THEIR WAY TO THE SEA ARE ONE, THE BILLION-YEAR WHEELS ON WHICH YOUR BEING TURNS ARE ONE, THE MILLION JANGLED THOUGHTS OF EVERYDAY AND THE WHISPER SO SILENT ONLY ETERNITY CAN HERE ARE ONE, MY SOUL AND YOUR SOUL ARE ONE. I AM OF YOU MY CHILD.YOU ARE NEITHER SUN NOR HUMAN NOR GOD, YOU ARE THE IMMENSITY OF EVERYTHING ELSE.

You're a suburban has-been named Herman. That fantastic future you think is so great ... ....But it IS! Everything that happens will happen because we want. There’ll be space colonies for everyone over seventy and sexfarms for every one under twenty, and everyone in between will be rich. All we need is the right genius to come along and market it.

And ask what inflation means and he’ll never have heard of the word. So how come when every future arrives, next year it’s the pits? So what you do, really ?

APPLICATION LAYER detailed information about the information

I’m writing the definitive history of one-night stands. I want to ride into heaven on the coattails of pussy.

STOP IT! You You You You You asked! asked! asked!

Don't forget: I can last longer than you can. I’m a woman, remember?

All right, I’m a systems analyst. I’m trying to get the glitches out of a Sun CAD system for the Water Department. They’re making a bridge and I’m supposed toturn the whole river into numbers. It’s awful. Everybody in the place was dead and buried twenty years ago, even if they’re only sixteen. When they go to the bathroom they don't need a toilet, they need a dustpan.

COULD YOU AT LEAST PUT YOUR ARM AROUND ME?

You mean Sizzler Steakhouse over there has finally stopped smoking?

HEY!

OK, HYSTERICALLY HYSTERICALLY HYSTERICALLY stopped smoking. So what about you?

I’m a history student. MA. There was this prince who had a weird sex life and I’m analyzing his thirteenth wife.

History history the musical fruit, the more you eat the more you toot.

You know what?

What?

You’re funny. You weren’t that way in the Dance Place.

I am? They don't know that at the Water Department.

That's because you got all your hats on there. Like you did in the Dance Place.

When you don't got all your hats on, you're funny.

PRESENTATION LAYER conventional radiance

That piece of history paper you’re working on. What’re you going to do with it? What’s it get you for a job?

Sometimes I wonder why why

whywhywhywhy why whywhy

I'm beginning to wonder if that word isn't part of the problem sometimes I wonder sometimes A lotta times, I bet

All right, a lotta times. The school promised me I was going to get a lot more than I really am. They said a degree would get me a job. But my MA teacher’s got Roman hands. He

Romes on me. He gets off on the sex life of old queens.He talks about Nefertiti. He closes and locks the door. He Romes on me. He ...

Hey, it's an A.

It's not like you close your eyes and think of England.

Hey, you are too!

Nefertiti? Funny.

What else can you do when the dance place turns into who we are?

Hey, here’s my place. Park over there.

I know it’s not much, my folks can't help me much.

Sometimes I think I should be trickin' instead of givin'

But I got plants in the window and you better goddam like ‘em!
