Performativity

And he said: Hey! 
Are you talking to me? 
Or are you just practising 
For one of those performances of yours?

Undone

yeah it's broken, 
the wheel's still turning
it's turning slowly in the sky

we go out searching, 
we go out climbing
we give everything a try

everybody needs some beauty
some reassurance, 
reassurance

you can tell so much about a place 
by the way they treat their own
the way they treat their own deserters

undone 
thinking this way 
undone

 — David Bridie 'The Deserters'

For Awhile

I choose the rooms that I live in with care,
the windows are small and the walls almost bare,
there's only one bed and there's only one prayer;
I listen all night for your step on the stair.

But I know from your eyes
and I know from your smile
that tonight will be fine,
will be fine, will be fine, will be fine
for a while.

— Leonard Cohen 'Tonight Will Be Fine'

Motion In The Ocean

Far From Perfect

No we never met before
I'm very happy to say
Far from perfect strangers
I'd like to keep it that way

I'm not your psychoanalyst
I'd rather talk to mice
You're so easy to resist
I don't want to be nice

 — John Cooper Clarke 'I Don't Want To Be Nice'

Hi Brasil

Brazil, also known as Hy-Brazil or several other variants, is a phantom island which features in many Irish myths. It was said to be cloaked in mist, except for one day each seven years, when it became visible but still could not be reached. It probably has similar roots to St. Brendan's Island.  Old Irish:
í: island;
bres: beauty, worth; great, mighty

Hy-Brasil is also spelled Hy-Breasal, Hy-Brazil, Hy-Breasil, Brazir and related variations. It may be the reason that the South American country, Brazil, was so named. The central image on the Brazilian flag, a circle with a channel across the center, is the symbol for Hy-Brasil on early maps.

The Law Of Conservation Of Mass

We cannot conceive of matter being formed of nothing,
since things require a seed to start from...
Therefore there is not anything which returns to nothing,
but all things return dissolved into their elements.
 — Lucretius 'De Rerum Natura'


Full fathom five thy father lies:
Of his bones are coral made:
Those are pearls that were his eyes:
Nothing of him that doth fade
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange.
 — William Shakespeare 'The Tempest'
