Glorious Satori, Revealed in the Song Titles of Albert Ayler

March 9, 2010

A blood flower tree
toiling in the desert sun —
inborn drudgery.

Holy vibrations
of wizard-saints and angels —
universal bells.

Love cry of spirits!
Ghosts rejoice in healing prayer —
omega truth force.

Message from the heart —
the raising of the divine
island comes at last.

[assemblage composed entirely of words from Albert Ayler song titles]

My veins are pure flame . . .
Crackling blue sparks in a world
of deep pleasure need

***************

Conformity is
a virus . . . Catch it and you’ll
be dead in two weeks

***************

Happiness is a
sputtering parasitic
sewer tadpole dream

***************

Innumerable
machine gods are killing all
human consciousness

***************

A shooting spree is
the only possible way
to implement change

***************

Be arbitrary . . .
Your mind is a byproduct
of hope addiction

***************

I tend to regard
love with a special horror
like malaria

***************

The intestine mind
is hungry for ultimate
creative control

***************

Nothing exists till
a functioning paranoid
is observing it

The architects
of political illness need
smallpox exposure

My preconscious guts
are compulsively shitting
on Western knowledge

***************

Word hustlers are a
raw intoxicant like old
deviant flowers

Most of the trouble
in this world has been caused by
cats from outer space

***************

In the Western Lands
intellectuals live on
biologic filth

Nonviolence is
never the answer for a

A legislator
is the face of total need . . .
Never give succor

***************
Anxiety is
beautiful music . . . Regret
sounds like garish birds

***************

Grotesque paradox . . .
God dies in the moment of
fertilization

***************

God is a tyrant
who cannot be moved . . . Prayer is
the greatest danger

***************

It is fruitless to
quarrel with human passion . . .
Love enormously

***************

God is an inmate
in the asylum He built
. . . breathless with sorrow

***************

Purity of heart
is the root of all evil . . .
Saints creep in the dirt

***************

Once you label me
I am incapable of
grasping my own thought

***************

At the bottom of
the snare of animal love
lies indifference

***************

Bores are important.
Boredom is interesting.
Idleness is joy.

***************

The dirt cheap souls of
incalculable insects
whisper like soft sighs

Literature is
the contradiction between
pride and nothingness

***************

Luminous evil

for health and balance

***************

Logic will oppress
all the faculties . . . It is
feeding on a stone

***************

Supreme beauty is
a cruel punishment . . . It
sings of wickedness

Semantic stuffed goats

Poets are merchants

Since when do pictures

Collector nowhere!

One sniff of birth and
the riddle of life will sing

***************

Only obsessive
repetition delivers
us from novelty

The way of all truth
is an imaginary
tale from here to there

Kant

January 27, 2010

***************

It is God’s will that
we should be the essence of
starry vileness

***************

To be is to do
universal evil . . . Man
is a happy worm

***************

Religion has been
trodden on by blind reason . . .
Nothing is divine

***************

Reason begets doubt . . .
There is nothing higher than
imagination

***************

Seek not the favor
of belief . . . It violates
every principle

***************

Awe annihilates
science . . . Wisdom can be carved
from intuition

***************

We weigh the cruel
heart of mankind and judge it
guilty beyond hope

***************

What can I know? My
life is a dark ocean strewn
with empty voices

***************

The multitude can
be fashioned like wood . . . Honest
immaturity

***************

The law is a lie . . .
Crooked timber of a shunned
philosophic wreck

***************

Happiness is the
incapacity to live
with an ideal

***************

Wittgenstein

January 27, 2010

***************

I don’t know my way
about . . . View is still not clear . . .
One must be silent

***************

If a lion could
talk, nothing intelligent
would ever get done

***************

The bewitchment of
sex is war . . . A religious
night ceremony

***************

A soul is like a
fresh seed sown on the ground of
unlocked timelessness

***************

I don’t know why we
are here . . . Logic is not like
walking in the snow

***************

Music should be played.
Humor is transcendental.
Nothing is tragic.

***************

Science is the soul
of seclusion . . . The body
an unknown language

***************

The sun will rise on
a mirror-image of the
world . . . Vanity church

***************

Harmony is a
dangerous organism
that limits my world

***************

Silliness is no
less complicated than a
combination lock

***************

Reality is
a public exhibition
of stupidities

***************

Every culture is
tormented by the music
of eternal life

***************

A confession is
an inner process with not
an inkling of truth

***************

I awaken to
the green valleys of barren
imagination

***************

Tomorrow is based
on the metaphysical
mistakes of today

***************

In a certain sense,
to die in your sleep would be
deceiving oneself

***************

Contradictions are
very wise . . . They say nothing
about everything

***************

Pain is nothing for
the truly religious man
who sits astride death

***************

For man to enjoy
war he must be frightened to
death of bad spirits

***************

If only we had
eyes to see the horrors of
peace all around us

***************

Sex is a system
of misleading techniques . . . The
body knows too much

***************

Death is a theory,
not an activity . . . A
great hypothesis

***************

To lie is a part
of life . . . The deeper truth will
take care of itself

***************

Heidegger

January 27, 2010

***************

Dwell as though we know
the master of hydrogen . . .
One body essence

***************

Language is famine . . .
History is the stiff-necked
pettiness of life

***************

The possible can
save us . . . Only a god is
four-dimensional

***************

Suicide house . . . The
motorized organism
blockades consciousness

***************

Anxiety bomb . . .
Transcendence is the shepherd
of animal thought

***************

Selfhood is the death
garden of Being; time-space
the adversary

***************

Metaphysics is
essentially glorified
time calculation

***************

Learn to know Nothing . . .
Responsibility is
intelligible

***************

Being is a truth
formula . . . It requires
ego reduction

***************

If I acknowledge
that we are still not thinking,
why face life squarely?

***************

Man demands modern
physics . . . Extermination
on glorified ground

***************

Entities resolve
into the manufacture
of the world’s corpses

***************

Action gathers the
centuries passing away
within history

John Cage

January 27, 2010

***************

Misuse the past . . .  Old
ideas are frightened of
the silence of time

***************

Nature is boring.
Poetry is empty space.
Destroy lullabies.

***************

Death is mostly a
distraction . . . A sonorous
resurrection sleep

***************

Ignore beautiful
music . . . We need synthetic
inconsistency

***************

What I’m proposing
is a noise factory that
will quiet the mind

***************

Photoelectric
love is completely changing
the way we exist

***************

A passing truck is
more musical than Schoenberg . . .
Overtone structure!

Godard

January 26, 2010

***************

If by chance you can’t
afford a color TV
then buy LSD

***************

Beauty is not some
great moral idea . . . It is
eternal decay

***************

Art is composed of
style, fashion and money
jumbled together

***************

The human body
is a fraud both inside and
outside . . . Pity it

***************

Reality is
a difficult prostitute
and we are its pimps

***************

Cinema is a
secret kiss between painting
and literature

Marcel Duchamp (Haiku Revelation)

January 26, 2010

The consummated
chess brain is deciphering
thoughts of coition

=========================================

Art that is eating
the spectator interests
me more than beauty

=========================================

The glass pane of art
is interpreting the world
through a shop window

=========================================

Commercialized man
cannot express taste, merely
external regret

=========================================

Conforming is a
creative act . . . Objects are
ruled by possession
