Persepolis Trailer (HD)

Just saw this at Le Clap. Really touching story; simple but beautiful graphics... informative and moving. Me liked!

Hate that is an Act in a Life of Satire and Hilarity

Sensitive elation to the disruption I cause you
My candor is grand

Symphonic typhoon
Your body shakes with its furry
Detached fascination.

The always-conclusion:
Convalescent Rejoinder
Convulsed Truth

Snail without its shell:
Focused-burden of shelter
Course nexus of flesh:
Lost in the obsession of composure

Still observed
Essence Reflected
Distorted comprehension
Percipience-Still

Motherfuckin Mini-Paris of America: At Least It's Not Outright Contempt

Hey!

Yeah, you.

So I've taken on the real-life-social-experimental-adventure of moving to a city where I've gotten the chance to start at "Go" with some odds already stacked up against me.

First off, lets define a recent addition to our repertory of language.

That word would be: Xenophobic

That definition: an unreasonable fear or hatred of foreigners or strangers or of that which is foreign or strange.

OK, so I know that this sort of outlook did/does/shall exist, but never did I imagine that on any given day, there would be a 3/4 chance of observing this phenomenon up close and personal;
oh no, not to me, not in this town.

No longer would I take for granted that the arduous attempt of conjuring up a second language would elicit curiosity, warmth, engagement;
oh no, not to me, not in this town...not in this country...not in this language.

And so, without presupposition,
I feel no longer like voyageur;
no longer like wanderer;
I feel now, in fact, that which can be defined only as, with all resounding stereotype, that word which is:

immigrant

1. A person who leaves one country to settle permanently in another.
2. A plant or animal that establishes itself in an area where it previously did not exist.

Native Country,
Oxymoronic Province,
Motherfuckin Mini-Paris of America

I love it.

Bigger than Myself is Somtimes Hard to Bring into Focus

I wanna, kinda, sorta just.... flow
Through every pore, eyesballs, fingertips, the breath that leaves my lips;
let it spread out from the core and touch everything

Eyes meet and i wont look away.
I will look into you and see you; nothing will be hidden.
Then you will talk; clarity shattered.
I will, look away.

The rain brings everything together.
Chemicals melt down my face
Unknown liquid substance soaks up my legs
Dilapidated decorum

Then there is snow.
Thunder and lightning and snow

Anything can happen

Moments of Small Scattered Joy That Are, In Fact, My Happiness

I always get myself into completely absurd situations; an old habit of circling the fringes of expectation, elongating arousal through deliberate chaos.
My new sejour is no exception.
The past month I have gone through my whole repetoire of emotion.

I feel more alive than I have in years.

There is winter rain here.
It's warm, and leaves craters in the snow.

A mist has been hovering in the city.
Morning until night there is only a soft white blur: no sun, no buildings;
pieces emerge only bit by bit, swallowed again with passing.

I am a vaccuum terrorist

A Bright Past

I wish you were still trapped by time, A happy decaying memory

What was
is now
will be
attenuated
