THĘ HÓĄRDĘR-GĄTHĘRĘR
So you pick up this thing. You hold it in your hands. Maybe you feel attracted to its appearance. Maybe it will entertain you now. Maybe it will be useful somehow in the future. You have two hands, right? While holding this thing in one, there might be space for a smart device in the other. Your hand is a container but your ability to carry stuff around is limited. You might put your stuff in a bag, pocket or any other container, without even thinking about it. This book in your hand can be considered as a bag or container. It stores hoards of words and sequences of sentences. You live in times where attention is currency. You pay attention, you spend time and you value it….Yo? …YO! Are you still there? So, before you go back to your smart device, let me say one last thing… this is NOT a hero story.
PÓŚĄ LĘFTĄ
you empty your bags in order to fill them with the stuff you found last evening at the cementeries scrap yard. you pull a knife from the bottom of your backpack – do you take it with you? You found them on the walk somewhere between Delphi and Athens.
– a memory –
– you remember –
– you recognize –
and you dream up several scenarios of how
you pick the knife from
– the river –
– the gras –
– the mud –
– the arid soil –
– the sand –
it is already late – paranoia –
You think about your addictions
and leave it in your studio
– you are a man –
it’s less likely someone
would try to rob you –
– it’s fucked up –
arrived by bus & equipped with an empty 85L hiking backpack,
an 60L bazar bag,
a half gram of toxins & no knife You enter the university campus
instead of the cemetery´s gate –
walk along the sidewalk –
look if someones around!
– step on a stone & disappear in the
– bushes – bushes – bushes – bushes –
rat run – stopwatch –
press your middle and index finger under your jawbone
count the beats for 15
seconds – multiply by four –
– it is a high number –
– jump over the fence –
bend over position towards a pile of waste –
– run – walk – crawl –
You recognize these fully filled plastic bags.
