Two-dimensional dream

If you called me 'two-dimensional', I guess
I'd go away and think about it - is he
insulting me and if so, how?

Though in a sense, all of us here in cyberspace
are two dimensional, to each other?

There's one time, though, when two dimensions
would be a blessing: like today,
when the cutely photographed brochure
for IKEA, the flat-pack furniture giant,
thudded through the letterbox
with its cosy nordic world as fresh and clean and scented
as a newly-built sauna just fired up;

then the two-dimensional me
could simply slip like a well-trained bookmark
between page 24 - 'a welcoming family room'
and page 25 - 'a bathroom to relax in'
with a pine-scented sigh of relief

These Wooden Ideas

Its a better way to feel
Dont be real, be post modern
(Its not that one dimensional, its not the only thought)
Its a better way to feel
When youre not real, youre post modern
(Its not that one dimensional, its not the only thought)
I stopped and waited for progress
I stopped and waited for progress
I stopped and waited
But Im not willing to accept it all
This wooden idea is your method of repetition
This wooden idea is how you sell reduction x 2
Its the best way to feel
Dont be real, its post modern
(Its not that one dimensional, its not the only thought)
Its a better way to feel
When youre not real, youre post modern
(Its not that one dimensional, its not the only thought)
You cant keep waiting for progress
You cant keep waiting for progress

The Karate Girl

I am the karate girl in town and,
I am seeking for your love;
For it is just a great joy to meet you and to know you.

I have been sleeping for four hundred years but now,
I am awake and to love you;
I am like the flying insects that walk on all fours,
And like two turtlrdoves and two young pigeons;
So stand straight on the doorway of love and,
Let me warm you up with my karate-movements.

I have a skin of milk to let you sleep all day,
And like the bull and the goat;
With the two-dimensional arrays of love to share,
For my act is all that you need tonight.

The source of my flow,
The nakedness of your law had exposed us!
And from the three-dimensional arrays of love,
But we are now like the sheep and the cow.

Painting does what we cannot do - it brings a three-dimensional world into a two-dimensional plane.

Seem to be telling this, but really telling that. Three-dimensional writing, like three-dimensional chess. Nabokov was the other master of that. You could learn something from Nabokov on every page he ever wrote.

I Am Tired Of Simple One- Dimensional Poems

I AM TIRED OF THE SIMPLE ONE- DIMENSIONAL POEMS

I am tired of the simple one- dimensional poems-
I want my irony back
And my contradictions and ambiguities-
I want the beauty back of a phrase which says more by itself
Than I initially intended it to have-
I want a way of writing which is a way of multiplying meanings
Not making them seem so simple singular and clear-

I want my Poetry back
But I fear I have lost it,
And it will in no way come back by itself soon.

A Quartet

PROTON-ENHANCED NUCLEAR INDUCTION SPECTROSCOPY
Famed pioneer of
N.M.R.in non-liquids
Alexander Pines
literarily known for
an engaging acronym.

LOFTY THOUGHTS
Pencilled crosshatching
parallel for strength and depth
fibre girded Art
the biomechanical
hydrostatic cylinder.

REALLY LOFTY THOUGHTS
Our measuring stick
four-dimensional spacetime
empirical rule
bluntly one-dimensional
yes-no, more-less, zero-one.

Humanity Redefined: Part 4 (The Omega)

Though greed was responsible for
The invasion, greed would also be
The fuel for humanity’s survival.

Harvey Trenton Smith-
Though singlehandedly causing the invasion,
He would be the key to ending it.

A molecular dismantling ray,
Possessing such unequivocal potency
Nothing could escape disintegration.

With help from the world’s governments,
The device was mass produced.
One last chance to ward off the Xeno-Creatures

A force field suddenly encompassed Earth
The Xeno-Creatures activated a dimensional rift
The inexplicable energy radiated in space.

Choose Any Game Except Reality Responsibility

take time time spend your time
spend your time to achieve what?
time is a precious sacred gift
a gift if used for true worship
for deep thought meditation

time is a dimensional illusion
time is not filled with freedom
time is filled with work necessity
time is filled with responsibility
time learning growing adaptability

time is bending of material form
to our will let water in pipes flow
let electricity power our machines
let electricity illuminate our nights
let wisdom exercise machine mind

dimensional will mind bending space
time thought is vast limitless spacious

Craddock’s Time Theory Age Relative

light years apart
in space time
continuum

youth three-dimensional
stretching into mathematical models

age a fourth dimension
spatial dimensions

our spacetime passing each other
is space and time in a single continuum

our shared Euclidean space
on this plane of existence
is but the trap of physical flesh

our atoms bound at every point
in three-dimensional Euclidean space
