Street scenes of the everyday night – Phone-boxes of the
street-corner hook-up – Phones off the hook and hangs dangling by the wire –
Carriages rattle past oblivious to the pathos of the scene – Here-s where –
tendrils whirling – I have had the melting experiences of meeting the
Caterpillar – encountering the entity face to decapodic face – Katapliktkos and
simultaneously cataleptic this beast flowed with a natural rhythm that defied
artifice and nullified the bourgeois mind in one fell swoop - This Caterpillar was the repository of myriad
untold dreams from many creatures of many aeons and epochs of singular
collective popular and universal flow and human surge through time-s tapestried
halls and space-s unfathomable caverns – the
lucky beast!
Well luck was with the humans too as the gifts of caterpillactic knowledge culture and science would soon be spread amongst – disseminated among and generally bestowed upon a seething and pullulating species of monstrous dream-primate sometimes known as Homo sapiens sapiens – the thinking man-s ape –

Dreading that forces unfavourable to the transmission of these
cultural treasures were at work – pitting their unwholesome strength into an
attempt to thwart the Caterpillar-s work – he reacted by spinning a cocoon of
activity – changing form and occilatory-rate – seeming to become more aethereal
yet palpably sentient and present – almost human
– no – much more than human – and so capable of seeing into the human heart
– the human body and blood – the endocrines and adrenalin – the biological
underlay that has such influence on the constitution and thus on the typical
thought-process – He could observe all these things with his sweeping –
scanning antennae and drink in the essence of any activity to which he was
exposed –
Plankton-papyri and ambergris archives were opened and
revealed by the hundred feet and the swirling papillae – namely the
psychic-antennae but fundamentally he would work by direct-communique – he
could talk straight into your mind – thus eliminating the need for the crude
semaphore of flapping lips and tongues – the monotonous music of the human
voice was obsolete and seemed unutterably primitive once he had established the
direct method and cut out the middle-man of verbal verbosity - Such things as happen in red public
phone-boxes at midnight in the main streets of Kernouac towns – namely in
Pendoze – a quiet little place by the sea where nothing much ever happens – a
cobbled hobgoblin hovel huddling high on ramparts of steel-slate pewter skies -

Feel like I-m under water – like I-m in a trance and I can-t
wake up – My mind is blunt and I can-t wake up - Handel bludgeons me unconscious with his ancient formal-garden layouts - lead-lethargy is aemic and osseous - invading the body with its insidious weight - puling as gravity pulls and wrapping bladder-wrack around me ankles as I stumble and tumble in slumber I wander and seek and search and wonder still with head aloft unto the sky and to the stars my eye doth shine a twinkling reflection of all this - of all this -
All twinkled in the eye of a reflective movement like the birth - life and explosive death of a vast Universal System - a Tri-Chilocosm - a Maha-Loka - Births coming and going and exploding and popping like thoughts - The thoughts of an ant - The thoughts that fill the head that fills the aunt-s hat - The ant-s heart and the hart-s panting breath - Breathess entranced - the Arhat has no thoughts -

Inexhaustible realms of consciousness - States of mind - programmes - mental-worlds - mind-sets - beliefs - feelings - feelings - feelings - feel -

Death-s Little Imps come and tap you on the shoulder - Mini-deaths - deaths miniaturized and minisculed - death-hints delivered by the Imp Servants of the Skeleton Lord - A bony finger taps you on the clavicle - "You haven-t got forever you know -
What do you think you-re doing ~
What do you think you-re doing~"
What do you think you-re doing ~
What do you think you-re doing~"
Phenomenal flow radiating through the tangible part of the universe - atomic poetry unravelling into molecular chemistry and cellular biological entity - Hallo human - please step forward - you-re on - It-s your show - You are the star - it-s yours - all yours - your world - take it - take it easy but take it - take it back to the source and shake it - take it to the shiny void - to the misty cloud - to the starry sky - take it away and sing it to life - offer it life and reflect on it -
Ravens and crows have plenty to say -
The last thing you need is more words in your head - but have some anyway - just in case you do - Anything is better than serious media - a squawking crow is a refreshing sound after you-ve enjoyed the sound of ten thousand fiddles steeped overnight in maple-syrup by demented goatherds - punctuated by the percussion of krogens - carapaces - cocoanuts - goat-skulls - tongueless bells and drums that don-t stick - The sound of falling earth is sweeter than any radio and the sea has more to say than ten million monkeys all chanting the words of Shakespeare - Chaucer and Dickens - So in the light of these revelations you can follow this trail back to the realm of the Caterpillar!
