varman hoot doss

(primitive mind poem)

wetiko varman
ralu ralu long chain
petro varman hootku
gong chao lo
in shallow zebra stripe
ink trough

who is your angel
which looks like my demon
who is your hudoq
is it mammon second particle beast
courting language copulation conundrum
in objects

how do you print bodies in the sea
all behaviors all logics
are protocols inhabiting
image architecture
your long house is code
your wetiko disease plague
is a shape which squeezes
the entrails of your mind
which is a hooting bird
made of leather
old shoes become a masque
inhabited by a spirit
made of old wind chimes
from foreign movies
all these people are foreigners
in the true heartland of semiosis

in the deep jungle
the wizard knows
the universe
is made of signs

but knowledge is not power
both do not exist

there is only image
knowledge
and power
are both illusions
there is only image

logic shapes
behaviors
and protocol spirits
from top to bottom

even an atom
is a special kind of dancer
