Lost In Thought

"This prediliction for getting lost, this
was the sign beginning with which
all possibility opened."
Jean Fremon
*Distant Noise* (Avec)


The arcades, so many doors.
Images calling to me from behind those doors.
The increasing impersonality of stores-
Starbucks' tendency to offer an identical
experience everywhere.
As if there were a conscious attempt
to eliminate the necessity of thought.
Thought gradually becoming equal to
obedience.
The impossibility of thought, the
erosion of thought.
The retreat from thought.
Essential uncontrollability of thought.
Emotional turmoil associated with thought.
Looking for thoughts behind those doors,
faces, faces in thought.
Thoughts going on behind the faces.
Faces as doors that open and close.
Closure of thought, essential
immovability of thought.

Hurrying for thought,
hurriedness of thought,
thoughts interfering with
other thoughts,
paradox of thought,
contradictions of thought.
Thought's eddying quality,
essential opacity
and permeability of thought.
Instability, transformability,
peculiarity, parodoxical
pettiness of thought,
thought's dangers,
passivity of thought.
Levels of thought,
simultaneities,
coincidences, thought
within thought, intellectual
bias of thought, thought's
cul-de-sacs, detours,
stereotypes, one-way-streets,
reproducibility,
identifiability,
transferability,
capability of condensation,
thought's tendency to
unearth and sustain origins.
Widening access to
thought, translation of
thought, thought's
chasms, divides, its
rhetorical treacheries,
hypocricies, tendency
towards illusion or
deception, thought's
limits, its divides, its
vulnerability to confusion,
misunderstanding,
distortion,
mystification,
obfuscation,
its secrets, its
isolated character,
thought's asocial
transgressions,
thought's earthquakes,
volcanic eruptions,
tectonic shifts,
unclassifiability,
enigmatic
discontinuities,
its essential
privacy, its
constant gnawing
appetite for continual
metamorphosis,
further
development,
its tendency
to seek momentum,
its desire for
progeny,
for history,
for remembrance,
insistence on
truth, in private
its public
insistence on
verifiabilty,
thought's
connectivity,
its desire
to
universalize,
efface
identity,
thought's
definability,
its chameleon-like
tendency to
adapt to its
formal
presentations,
its charm
and amiability
when it
needs to
pursuade
or seduce,
thought's
ability to
invent its
own vocabulary,
or improvise
a language
by means of
accessible
materials,
thoughts
lightness, its
capacity to
be held
due
to the lack
of necessity
for material
enclosure,
thought's
phoenix-like
tendency to
defy
its
containments
thought's
meteoric
rise, thoughts
sputtering
demise
