etienne returned in a half-hearted manner only

to slide out again in small isolation segments.
classic tracking shots that in a spurious moment drown characters in their surroundings while the vertical pan deletes memories.
how he figures others lives is somewhat akin to peeling the potatoe in the dark. phillip on
the other hand relinquished all rights to his environment when his socioeconomic status
clearly faded out. confusion rained on all planes. where was the theme - where was the plot. it was a crime. he went around telling everyone about the special implications in idiomatic language.
etienne.
dominated by the tilt of the shot he views attitudinal statements passing through canal
street. screwdrivers, nails and hammers. whatever you need you can get. pierre snickers. a triangle pointing straight up to the sky in 1941 like superimpositions were vague and very random factors. dream idioms grab the guts of sleepers and get strung in a matter of fashion. somedays they roll out of his mouth like mothers of pearl.
so how long should a shot be? overlapping fragments punctuate the editorial
sophistication that is seldom found anywhere. in this last paragraph they all believed in
lower subjective tempos. bathed in information that for the most part is useless the three shed tales. etienne spoke of the middle east - the endless heat. phillip recalls rome saying too little. pierre talked of his time in miami with his rental car. words from one mouth to another's ear. instantaneous validation.
once it was 1912.

a new england clergyman had said that the baroque is unlike and like a
cube.....

 

 

 

 

An Awkward Moment In Paradise     2008                                         

 

a little overdue -                                                

thumb rubbing majors

filed past

the devil in spanish

chanting

poly-sci allegories

overconfident lies

stuffed in a sock ~

a broken seatbelt

a slick tire

3 dents daisy

somebody felt odd.

with eyebrows arched

back flat

tummy tucked

a slow hour to

nowhere stonewalling

the information canal

drenched in sweat…

a veil of roses

bedded a cherry picker

a sack of thorns

scorched millions

sitting

up and then down -

in the goldfish pond

a misunderstood poem

became a sonnet

of regret

as they all whispered

geronimo

morphing to granite

in one loud

mutter of

obliterated unreason…

textbooks

failed to deliver

breakfast on time

naked leather

simmered

and a fracas

could be heard

in this

port-of-call ~

 

up till now…                                                            

a full imposed self                                                     

on earth                                                                       

bewildered                                                                 

flung open the quivering mouth                                

so fresh   so wonderful

in all its primitive

famine

hearing nothing

but sleep

illuminating in the

taut breath of

silence   daisy

struggling to repeat

an exceptional sound

the upper

arms flying around

disguised in monogrammed

flesh

ironed without starch 

so the next day

will be as fresh

as now

stroking caution

understanding

that the room

penetrates

light from behind

riddles choke  scalding

the rough voiced

caress

seized 3 o'clock ~

over there where

protest lingers

footsteps

intensify

a knot

in the throat

a coincidence without caution ~

 

held and caught

indefinitely

without knowledge

one sleeve

foolish

the other

whispering

risking twisting

taking

possession

past a watchful eye -

a pang of concern

an imposition

strapped by a

shoestring

dangling

a deliberate provocation

restlessly stirring

a

kiss

for conversaton                                                                       

racing

double time

on a 78 rpm...

shivering aloud

fingers

adrift for 12 months

daisy

casually polishing

anger

in mid-flight

pretending temptation

with a wintry response ~

perfect clarity

at the five and dime...

 

it's impossible.

once again

a twisted labyrinth

as the

bartender

puts the glass

away ~

directly upstairs

a double-barreled

shot

could

be heard ~

daisy got up

walked out

without

consequence

condensation

or

even

constitution

in

three colors

flat ~

no one knew

what the reaction would be -

did it matter?

no it didn't -

did anyone care?

no they didn't -

so as time

went by

the chemistry

disappeared

beakers cracked 

liquid

dried up

haphazard intentions

went awry

all because

the

killer whale

got

beached

and beached

bad

in a foreign country...

 

pale

sky

revealing slender

hips    broad thoughts

swimming

fluidly close

as the villa

shrunk

in the reflection

below ~

somewhere between

3am and 9pm

a murmur      a pout

a curled lip

a breath

drawn in

at the junction ~

a tiny

shudder of panic

under the chin

temperature rising

while daisy

gave a

dismissive little

gesture      of the hand ~

sometimes     it is

impossible not to

tip

the     taxi driver

under

the smooth

olive-toned skin ~

holding still

in thundering

judgment

footsteps in sync

the word     died

on the tongue

of disbelief

washed    off

with a

molotov cocktail...

 

wrapped in death

squirrling away acorns

for

a better

day

forest reunions

were

par for the

12 hole course...

idiomatic simantics

rivaled

cost delays

for

daisy's sake ~

mid-flight

composure

in english

yes

a thing of the past

trembling white-faced

from the

neckline

to the ankles

while

considering the right

financing ~

speechless

off the cuff

no doubt

the animated face

drew

declarations

of

momentary

icy winds

of

defeat

once more…

 

besides frugality

the courts

issued

a long-range

forecast ~

swoon

meltdown

bluff.

daisy heads

into

the kitchen

at 2:06 am

tightened

her belt

straightened her hair

emptied

the mousetrap

and pet the cat ~

you see stumbling

in the dark

could be akin

to

traveling

to the equator

in march ~

a dot

in the sky

a helicopter

recording

every lie ~

the memory of

dry

whispers overhead

fitted

cynically on the

way over there

systemically costuming

corrugated cardboard

hell bent

for two

as a rouse

to the heart

would not be

that uncommon

on most anyday

of the week... 

 

find any limitation

and

drown it.

flickering

once or twice

in revenge

it wasn't a welcome

avenue

to walk down ~

daisy

hesitated

then 3 steps forward

to the villa

overgrown with

prickly

brush

uneven hedge

dead pigeons -

legs wobbly

exhausted

thought bare

spare flesh

murmuring

incessantly about

runaway dreams

smelling flowers

at 2am ~

the pleasure of

disguise

the deceit

of failure

making it

impossible to

breathe

among

billionaires

whose

instant gratification

comes

from the

ringing of a

bell...
