Subject: Hieroscratches


For Edward Moore


... and an occurrence of phrases, then, with the dissolution of
consciousness which involves a weakening of memory and imagination and also
involves a turn away from a desire to preserve something, be it an
individual, community, faith, state, etc., -- brings into play the
condensation of fragments and the plasticity of images as much as the murmur
of obscure speech outside language. ///. The dissolution of consciousness
(memory/imagination/conceptual categories) loosens a digression of language
that is its own ruin and results in the communications that acknowledge the
irrelevance of the meaning of words such that the projective modification of
our throwness into a situation no longer forms a ground as if it was still
defining a genus and not allowing for the approach of an abysmal situation
where all words loose their meaningful import -- and would not this be the
anguish of a written potlatch? The old attachment to the semantics of
language positions any sliding drift within a developmental context
expressing merely a utilitarian project with its means geared towards some
progressive end and not to the a-topia of aimless, serpentine lines, which
as I indicate in practice, errrrrrs across a screen or mind emptying
out-//////////////////////////////////////-casted hieroscratches. Primitive
'memory' of an unreadable cry... and a peel of laughter this side of a
hermeneutics that is still fascinated by the withdrawal of the encryption or
shadow of word(s)-symbol(s) which act as catalyst of reading and therefore
do not make room for you, my dear reader, to take up your branch and start
drawing on the sand the id(o)lness of a wild-culture on strike, scratched
from any useful economy and transmitting nothing but the noise of chatter.
Sober (s)crypt. In individuated, idiomatic writing where I tend to affirm
the fragility of this line, the arrival of a period marks the obliteration
of ordinary memory. An atmosphere of phrases, then, are linked by effacement
and to them comes a lucky, if at times unfortunate, digression. This is what
makes them impressive, in the Humean sense of the word. Pyrrho, is their
emblematic signature.
