this town
at night
is DESERTED
i had to go out at 2:30 am
looking for a pharmacy, a night shop, something, anything
(long story)
and let me just say
this town at 3am
is ready for the zombie invasion.
(i need to take some photos for lli)
because its night lit
looks like “after the fallout”
from bombs that kill only the people and
leave the buildings intact.
it was sorta beautiful
far off sound of a car
or a person walking 3-4 blocks off in the distance
but
who knows, maybe they’ve already become host to the undead.
the wind blowing strong...
not a living thing in sight
just the water gliding on its path through the canals.
castle towers.
i wish they would let the animals have this city at night
then it wouldn’t be so lonely
walking looking for something open
and nothing is
i want bears
i want unicorns

the plan worked. i set my alarm months ago to go off tonight. went to see BlowUp at the Sphinx cinema. I admire this film, a lot. And it was a fine way to see 60’s cinema... large. the plot happens as part of his everyday. it was almost incomprehensible how women were so submissive as if to say, here’s your sexual revolution, work in progress, not done yet, come back in 20 years and see how we’re doing. but the ambient quality of the plot, that is something. nothing matters anymore at least in this guy’s world. for one moment he paused from his life of distractions hall of mirrors to care about something. for one moment he wasn’t so bored with his rich life. he found what he was looking for but soon as he got distracted by something else, the meaning was gone again, hidden/stolen away from him. leaving him to what his life had always been and will be day after day. still, it’s good to be the photographer. i can see why all the guys in the photo departement at parsons back in the day loved this film so much ;) they all wanted jane birkin rolling around on the floor with another girl, ripping their clothes off for the mere chance of having the charming wolf take their photograph. ah and his photo equipment, ah!
