The Death Of The Author - I am diminishing like a
figurine at the far end of my own small literary stage,
to paraphrase Barthes...
&
to quote Cage:
Music willy-nilly
I guess I just don't know And I guess
I just don't know +++++
You arrived here from forever, you
will leave for everywhere (Rimbaud)
My will is not my own, my words
not worth the air that carries them (Disch)
There is no recipe
for arriving at a successful collage; try to achieve
a balance between chance effects
and planning.
Keep a clean nose
Watch the plain clothes
It don't take a weather man to tell
Which way the wind blows.
And all over the land, instead of trees, Clean poles
and wire will whisper in the breeze (Betjeman)
Mr Foster Hip-Skip What They Do
Once the Author is removed, the
claim to decipher a text becomes quite futile
