• to move a hummingbird

    this little hummingbird got into the house yesterday.
    i kept hearing these little noises and of course i
    thought it was coming from outside. I was up on the
    second floor and went out to see what the fuck was
    going on. I see a hummingbird trying to get out by
    the window. I try to move him out but he don't want
    to move much. Finally he tired out and kind of laid
    down. I put an envelope under him and took him outside
    where i just put the envelope down on the ground and the
    little pecker head flew away. Never had a hummingbird
    come into a house. I've had a couple of bats come in
    but they always fly out quickly. Weird brew. Maybe
    we should shut the screen door more often. It's always something.

    I probably wouldn't have even mentioned this dream,
    but somehow your hummingbird story seemed to 'request' it.

    ### - ahh i wouldn't worry about it, was likely just a strange, anomalous dream, and if you'd poked around a bit more would have probably found old trumpie hidin' behind one of those flamin' trees innit hehehehehe :D :D :D

    This morning I dreamed I was walking down a long straight
    dirt road sloping gently uphill and at the end of the road
    just above the horizon an enormous full moon was rising in
    a silver-blue twilight. As I walked toward it, in the distance
    on both sides of the road, large trees strangely colored
    a golden-orange seemed to frame this moon, and excitedly I
    walked faster and faster, hoping to get closer to these trees
    before the moon had risen much further. As I drew near,
    I saw that the trees were actually on fire and raining down
    showers of sparks on the sides of the road. I stopped and
    for several moments stared down the dirt road at this scene:
    the huge moon and the long dirt road framed on both sides
    by what now looked like pillars of fire as the rather majestic
    song I'd been hearing throughout my walk played on in my mind
    and right then I woke up.

    Well, I had a lot stranger lucid dreaming experience than that dream
    just 15 minutes ago, but it was SO fucking cool - and so different
    from anything I've ever done in dreaming before that I hesitate
    to even reveal it in a place filled with idiots like you who are
    so virtually certain to just shit all over anything one reveals.

    In fact, after waking up just now since it was really early I came
    to look for some 'indication' of whether I should say anything
    about the experience here, and thanks to you I got it...

    Indeed, another dreaming experience I had two weeks ago
    was also far cooler than that one I just posted. It too included
    the experience of some dream music which that time I brought
    back from the dream, and the dream itself was far more emotionally
    significant. I didn't reveal a thing about that experience to
    anyone here, for the reason that it just seemed too interesting
    and personal to show to nitwits who don't really listen anyway.
    I only typed up that last one for Chris, since it more purely
    artistic and had very little emotional impact other than
    'pure wonder', and since something in his post called for it.
    But fuck it, I don't know why he ever posts anything cool here either.

    Another thing lately... I've started experiencing a different
    "type" of hypnagogia - a "type" I had not ever experienced in the
    past either, which has a rather 'startling' effect. I'm not going
    to describe anything more about those experiences either.
    And not a word about the weird lucid experience I just created.

    No more. Not in this stupid place. In fact, not anywhere where
    there's anyone as dumb and as antagonistic as you. Nada. Period.
    All I'll say is that for some reason I seem to be doing several
    things in dreaming lately that I've never heard of people doing
    and that I've never done myself before either in all my decades
    of previous dreaming. And you'll get to hear nothing about any it. :)

    Oh, one more thing for you, Mr. Arts. A couple of days ago I took
    some time to specifically read about the first 20 poems from
    Rimbaud's "Illuminations", since you kept going on about the guy.
    I came away from them distinctly unimpressed. A few of his pieces
    were kind of interesting, but honestly, I've read many poets
    I find superior. Meh. So that was strike two for you, and this
    here is strike three.

    Now I'm going to go write a little bit about the very odd lucid
    dreaming experience I just had while it's still fresh, but it's
    only for me and people truly close this time, and from now on,
    actually. So you get to jerk off by yourself here now which I
    guess you've really been working toward practically forever.
    Congrats! It's you and the argumentative Aussie from here on
    to the gates of hell. :)

    it was something that the hummingbird did that made me
    write about it. I didn't mention this but perhaps it
    is worthwhile to tell. It made this little noise that
    was different from the other sounds it was making. It
    was a communication of ouch. I think the little guy

    me to slip the envelope under him so i could carry his
    ass outside. He did not move as i walked down the stairs
    to go to the front door. I laid him down and stepped
    back and off he flew. Smart little 'bird, very smart.
    There's a lesson in here somewhere....

    ### - oh c'mon, you don't seriously expect to be let-off THAT easily after subjecting everyone to 2-FUCKING-YEARS of the daily fuckin' TRUMP did ya??

    you DID that!!! and now ya can't stand being ribbed a bit for it either??

    you DID that! and am afraid you'll just have to live it down!

    you DID that! hahaha + that's assuming you've 'stopped' now??? :)

    (ain't gonna let you off ya know until you HAVE stopped!)

    so laff it off already or suffer it, that's up to you bud! :)

    ### - didn't trash your dream particularly, which i do have to say sounded
    just a tad contrived, but more ribbed ya for not talking-trump?

    (problem with you jeremy is you just have no sense of humour?)

    ### - awww you're not cryin' are ya?? (kinda sounds like it heh...)

    ### - oh that sounds interesting, pray tell more?




    I'm not going
    to describe anything more about those experiences either.

    ### - awww lol you're such a tease? (really laffing hehehe...)

    All I'll say is that for some reason I seem to be doing several

    here is strike three.

    ### - and so now, having read 20 of his poems, you're suddenly an
    authority on rimbaud??

    i.e., to understand rimbaud one kinda has to understand what 'other' poets think about him/came to conclusions about, and being right up there
    perforce it's not easy to understand!

    my suggestion being, before ya just throw it out willy-nilly 'coz it's something slider likes etc, is to read henry miller's intro to rimbaud
    (time of the assassins) as he actually makes it a little easier to even
    'see' rimbaud! (bob dylan is reputed to have been inspired by rimbaud's message, as was jim morrison apparently, for example...)




    Now I'm going to go write a little bit about the very odd lucid
    dreaming experience I just had while it's still fresh, but it's

    ### - oh dear, whatever will i do if jeremy refuses to share his dreams
    with me??

    i just dunno if i could truly bear the loss!?

    riiiiiight..... :)

    (look, i'd prolly feel a bit stupid too if i'd done wots you done with
    trumpy every fuckin' day for 2 fuckin' years, but it'll pass! providing
    that is you don't start-up with all that shite again?? lol pleeeease nooo!)

    ahahaha :D

    it's the penalty box for you pal! time out! hahaha :)))

    yeah yeah we've been doing that routine for years.
    My wife brews up her concoction of sugar & water.
    it's a regular bird santuary out there in the back
    yard. just enough grass for the dogs to shit and piss.
    Oh lucky me i stepped in a pile of dog shit the other day.
    Jesus, such a hot shot huh?

    ### - how cute to have those little dudes hangin'/buzzin' around your yard?

    plus i'd prolly squeak a bit too if i suddenly realised my battery reserve
    was totally running out and i couldn't get to the food aww...

    their metabolism runs so high and so fast that they literally have to eat
    their own weight in nectar every day? (something crazy like that anyway, borderline) stop feeding for 10 mins and they'll just drop dead they're
    burning it up so fast??

    but our local hero was there to save the day heh, gots 'im back on his
    little perch :)

    In the summer, we have a lot of magpies here and they are quite
    intelligent and easily tamed and they coexist with us just fine.

    I hand feed the young 'uns and some of the older ones, (mainly cheese,
    calcium is good for their legs). I made the mistake of teasing one
    into the house once, it came into the kitchen for its food, then took
    flight in the fucking house. A magpie is a big bird with a huge beak
    and a lot of weight and it took a lot of dangerous manoeuvering to get
    the thing out (their beak can, and will, take out the human eye).

    We don't have hummingbirds here, just nectar eaters.

    Then it must really sting you to realise that Trump has pulled off
    this massive, unprecedented deal with Kim - rather than proceeding
    blindly into a huge war which Trump said, in yesterday's press
    gathering, that his advisers had told him would cost around 30 million
    lives!

    If HRC had won, your country would be bleeding now, along with the
    rest of the world. Hats off to Trump. Nothing else can possibly
    spoil the show.

    I would say he is in line for re-election next round. How do you feel
    about that?

    Because it's inconsistent with your view? Now if it was inconsistent
    with reality I would agree, but if your view was the preponderant
    view, then Trump wouldn't have been elected, would he?

    Trump is an icon breaker - an iconoclast. People who are unused to
    change, stuck in the rut so to speak, don't like iconoclasts.

    We must change. Trump is the medium of that change. More power to
    him.
