We cannot hear the stars and planets scream. Not from here, not with such buffers as near-vacuum and huge dust sheets between us and them. Yet if you held a microphone up close enough, you would hear the screaming of cycling fusion, tectonic shift and celestial childbirth. I prefer to think that if any emotion were associated with that violence of noise, it would be Joy, gladness to be turning the gears of Reality. So let us pull the microphone  back far enough to make glad whispers of the screams.

Jumble of Joy

This image began with an exercise: look through a newspaper supplement and draw all the faces. The faces turned out to be mostly smiling, so the suggestion was that joy was in the air, and that it was jumbly–Jumble of Joy. Unfortunately, J as an end-letter doesn’t fly much outside the Mideast. Fortunately, J as an end-SOUND is all over the English language, so a little spelling-flexibility–nowhere near what is seen in much of hip-hop–took care of the J issue.

Here are the words:

Jurassick sparks won’t tree-fly if you vej
Umbrellas willn’t get you through a hej
Metropolises bulge & overflo
But Sparseville FREEZES: forty-2 belo
LIFT HIGH your Heart, for THIS will be the day
Enchantment rocks–IF you come out 2 play

More of the same platitudinous crap I’ve been ladling for years, granted. My only defense is it’s true…
