Dog Poet Transmitting

If you have your focus right, you can see the culture imploding before your eyes. I always concentrate on maintaining 'the thousand-year stare'. It is a little like 'the thousand-yard stare', but it is time instead of distance. It is Objective, rather than Subjective. It also takes in a great deal more territory.

Fights are breaking out in public arenas; at sports stadiums, in parking lots, at nightclubs, in parks, on the sidewalk, in restaurants, airports, and on airplanes. Sometimes they happen in mob-like conditions, and sometimes they are single protagonists. Sometimes they simply assault themselves in public.

Obviously, there is something in the air, the way they used to say, “Something is in the water.” I could speculate, but I am weary of speculation. Whatever comes into my thoughts when I am watching The World, it always raises the question; What's the up-side? Often, it is very hard for me to see the up-side in what people get up to. More and more, there is the sense that madness is like a wind blowing down the avenue, then up the side streets. Like moonbeams running along a roof, they come down the chimney or into the heating or air conditioning ducts. They come in around 3 am, and then fix some drinks, get comfortable... Then it all goes to Hell when one of them turns on the TV.
