A Question / Of Language.
Not transparency. Is not work. Work is shoe. Is not work. Is thing.
Thing is not language.
Is shoe.
Shoe is language.
The dapper art of trying to see through words (see-through words) is not on the
rise.
On the rinse.
To make language more
Texture/Transparent
Is not is.
Is not red.

- Harald M. Reed (1983-86)

Would it make sense to see this poem as enacting the dichotomy of two impossible idealisms in regard to language? On the one hand the old idea about the transparency of language – the dream to see the world through the words. The hope of attaining a style of writing so perfectly neutral and objective as to form a direct, but invisible, link to the object(s) described. On the other hand the notion that (in the opposite manner), the work to perform would be the gradual thickening of language, the endowing of more texture, so as to make obvious the inevitable opacity of the sign. Thus creating a richer and more inclusive and more detailed and interactive map, making possible (i.e., creating) new roads, leading to new places (thusly created). The map creating the territory.

"Once one has a certain kind of academic status, any statement that you make, if it is couched in the language of your discipline, no matter how critical, how searching, is seen only as an embellishment, another layer of crystalline accretion to the stalactite. To break it off at the root, one's language would have to be brutal, uncompromising, emotional, non-technical."
-Will Self. The Quantity Theory of Insanity. (1991)

"By now these seminars had become a daily inquisition into Talbot's growing distress and uncertainty. A disturbing aspect was the conscious complicity of the class in his long anticipated breakdown."

"...the man who thinks he can live without myth, or outside it, is an exception. He is like one uprooted, having no true link either with the past, or with the ancestral life which continues within him, or yet with contemporary human society. This plaything of his reason never grips his vitals. It may occasionally be heavy on his stomach, for that organ is apt to reject the products of reason as indigestible. The psyche is not of today; its ancestry goes back many millions of years. Individual consciousness is only the flower and the fruit of a season, sprung from the perennial rhizome beneath the earth; and it would find itself in better accord with the truth if it took the existence of the rhizome into its calculations."
-C.G. Jung

"The world and society in 1913 looked like this: life is completely confined and shackled. A kind of economic fatalism prevails; each individual, whether he resists it or not, is assigned a specific role and with it his interests and his character. The church is regarded as a "redemption machine" of little importance, literature as a safety valve... The most burning question day and night is: is there anywhere a force that is strong enough to put an end to this state of affairs? And if not, how can one escape it?"

We have been walking too long in someone else's sleep. There is a nagging sense - we reward ourselves by insisting upon it - of having travelled through a dark night of the soul, a lightless tunnel. Sick colours spiral from the grey-mauve scurf of cathode-ray addiction, recessing to some infinitely remote, infinitely cold region: dead stars. Any action, however stupid, outranks contemplation.
