LOOK
BUY
ENJOY


the trolley pronounces


here I buy coffee
feel this


here


others walk the treadmill
seats only for those who buy


then relax
so relax


the arrival towards looking forward to a London place
there
and I will enjoy
to debrief
this


geometry
how to take this away from
this
then
to give through
geometry


and


freedom allowed through this gifting
to work by tools of freedom for freedom 
wings
flight
but buoyancy without metal prisons


outpost → outpost


in freedom
no condition
functional
solution
solving
firstly for myself 
and towards every other
this is as is
required


welcome
welcoming
to be
and
so just as a bird will fly over all
and
trees allow us themselves
no matter who
also
within creation and solution this total embrace is more efficient
so
here
sitting in a no place
but
do I ever arrive?


where to and 
when to leave
when to depart
when to arrive
all is 
this one place


being here and at the same moment all of my surroundings


yes 
to work by the tools of freedom for freedom
but also to
use the tools and methodologies commonly exploited towards
repression
        control
subjugation 
and to utilise these tools in the passage towards freedom
to express expansiveness by means of the instruments of restriction


outside from nostalgia the work moves closer to an edge
the cutting edge
knife edge place
where
this is being towards
separation of this rational /analytical from the less-literal
words are in one book then not-words are in another


setting these methodologies
these flexible/experimental codes of good practise


the place also requires distinction and separation in all which I do


let beauty be that and allow this to surround me
this is the open-access place
and
my joyful bubble


GIVE OUT JOYFUL MEANINGLESS BEAUTY


the intellectual pursuit away/out of/ separate from
intelligence
the process further moving from mental analytical


allow science to make these observations


I am the outer


within process becoming away from this scientific
away from an art of emulation/ celebration of science


THIS IS NOT MY POINT
cultivate
this
away from
perspective
expansive
potential
freedom
light
then also the other
shadow
darkness
will be present


so this could be focus


geometry 


I need not succeed
I need not make convincing proof
I need not recreate the present


I may apply pressure
like
a pencil line


this will function as a measure for pressure on my path perhaps ?
