Lollipop and/or I Pop Loll

Image

Please don’t go blind trying to read the spiral. Here are the words, starting from the center:

this is the beginning of the unblanking of a journal page – these words radiate not only from the impulsive urge to create but also from the polar-coordinative orientation of the message about a locus of the page that has deliberately been left blank. Promarily this was done for the visual effect – it is not possible for a normal human being to read these words with the ease with which Cartesian-coordinated words are read; consequently, the focus is not so quickly shifted to the meaning of the arrayed words. attention is first paid to the array itself.

There are also two double acrostics. The rightside-up one reads:

Investigative Journal Prism/In pentimento Optimism/Perhaps a LOL perhaps a schism/promoting motion non-abysmal.

The upside-down one reads:

Let’s undot an I/Olive pit to keep/Load a me O’Mayo/Lull a Bligh to sleep.

The dude on the beach towel looling in upper left is captioned “A diller a dollar a 5 O’ Clock LOLLER.”

There are portraits of Fats Waller, Gustav Mahler,and Linda Lavin (“above” LOLL,but read it LO LL and it makes a little more sense). There’s also a drawing of a residence in Loretta Lynn’s old stomping grounds, Butcher Holler. And had I time, I would have added a portrait of Kris Kristofferson, and labeled it “Rhodes Scholar.”

Lastly, the two tall dudes are labeled “Tall” and “Taller.”

    Delightfully whimsical. A likeable lickable lollipop!
    I see a balloon with a guy in it that is about to go pop. Can’t say i understand why 😉 .
    Pleasantly obfuscated!

      The guy on the balloon is the lolling guy from the upper left, Michel. So in a weird way this is an illustration for the”I Pop Loll” double acrostic. Hope unobfuscating doesn’t de-delight! 🙂
