Lachlan J McDougall, Untitled 


Japanese Grass Script::: a memory of Brion Gysin

 

my writing i words senseless

meaning cut— i write

in the mode of dreams i

had in the shadow of

a magic moon receding:::

            “read your horoscope?”

            “it’s called Japanese grass script—learned

            it from Gysin the paintings i

            looked and fell into one evening—”

herein lies the grave of words i

write    —cut—

magic moon receding

 

the words stop writing i

stop writing where the grave

of words i lie still in the long grass flowing

Japanese grass script i fell into words

            stop     —cut—

Gysin with the paintbrush:::

            I am that I am”

and here we see the essence of the word

superimposed meaning senseless stop           —cut—

 

they call it ‘asemic’ writing:::

the dog snuffling under me for a

bit of old meat i dropped at dinner

with all meaning senseless dribbles down

            on his chin dribbling a long streamer

drool on the floor where my feet kick swift

across the floor senseless i stop

—cut—

the textual order rearranged to reader

            satisfaction i make a move

to Japanese grass script flowing

like a magic moon receding

 

Brion Gysin in the painting room Japanese

grass script flowing under

glass like a paintbrush moving back

            and forth like a steamroller:::

“does it seem to be persisting?”

“read your horoscope?”

            “I am that I am”

stop

—cut— 

 

Japanese Grass Script::: asemic writing[1]

 

wordless children’s dribbling is left forms

            between their quasi-calligraphy

—wordless asemic writing—

 

Brion Gysin into asemic piece can

            be rearranged by some people

but not postliterate style in a steamroller:::

            the paintbrush, calligraphic style

writing without it seem to move even

though it words to make a global

            —asemic writing hand on Jim—

preliterate between receding:::

fill in arbitrary movement—

            that i fell in formatting:::

 

the calligraphic interpret:::

all of writing such are floor where    

            illegible etc.)))

most applied to be “reader time”:::

            asemic writing with no verbal writing—

            asemic writing damaged 21st century!!!

translate expanding art movement

            back and forth like a movement beyond

 

            O,

to be a painting long

            and strong as an artist…

where illegible abstract works

allow for asemic worldwide literate

            rearranged the early part

            is traditional writing

with a pen or have option----

            hoaxes::: the readable:::

            it may be constricting???

here computer image sometimes----

 

asemic writing—they calligraphic writing

            an artist damaged their suggestions

they to make a pen semantic or

            “with all means”

relative over images

children’s dribble goal and for meaning

            a long grass flow as a

            type of asemic writing
