Postmodernism

From monstrouspossibility

Post Modernism Defined

Looking at the past through a mirror

No good, shatter mirror

Stare

Stare Stare...

Where is past?

Point at it

Points at mirror

Where is past?

Pointing at mirror

Pointed at mirror

Points at mirror

Staring

Stare Stare

Stare...

No stairs

Only escalators

No floors, just escalators

You walk up, against the flow

Thinking they are stairs

Stairs standing still

But no

No

NO STAIRS!

Just escalators

and you are going the wrong WAY!

Here is an essay by Brian McHale: [2] and another: [3]

S.E. Gontarski's Editing Beckett: [6]

Devillo Sloan's The Decline of American Postmodernism: [7]

Stanton B. Garner Jr's "Still living flesh": Beckett, Merleau-Ponty, and the Phenomenological Body: [8]

Another broKEN gesturation:

I am language and time and

all that lies above and below and

side to side, diagonal, direction, and

past and present and future

Visible and invisible

That's me all over

All over undone

Undone but unending?

Odds against that

Odds and ends will be the end

Of me

What's outside?

What's outside will go on

No end in sight for what lies outside

What business is that of mine?

What is and isn't mine?

What I have now

What I need now

Is mine to not keep

Mine for now

Search for now

Dig dig dig for now

Find at the end (of me)

Release for the rest (outside)

To each his own

To each her own

To each its own

To me, mine own, for now

Then rest

While the rest go on

I’ll go

It’ll go on
