Mortal Wound from Paint.

Journal Entry: Wed Jan 2, 2008, 2:22 PM
  • Mood: Neutral
I was feeling artsy today. I haven't felt artsy in a very long time, but today I wanted to be creative. I tried sketching but all I came up with was half-faces of women and naked torsos of men.

Nothing creative about that.

Then I remembered about this paint I bought in Maryland when I was comissioned to design a sign on goat skin [NEVER PAINT ON LEATHER!], for my psychic friend Zenobia. No I am not making this up.

Anyway, I bought some wood to paint on and went to retrieve these wonderful paints and prepared to be artsy. But when I dug up the bag of paint, I saw that the blue had spilled onto the other cans of paint, my brushes, my brush cleaner, and a few other art supplies.
I tried cleaning my brushes, but all but the mid-sized one is ruined. That blue paint acted like a superglue, so I couldn't get the paints apart from each other, let alone OPEN. But in the struggle to achieve this, I somehow sliced up the index finger and thumb on my right hand. SLICED, as in, "Ouch, I just crumpled up this can of coke in my hand and now my flesh is shredded and bleeding profusely."

OK, I'm exaggerating a bit, but it hurt! And now I don't want to be artsy any more.

boo hoo.

thanks for the comments. i appreciate them. here's a quote for poetry interpretation from utne magazine:

As long as we're fearlessly engaging the avant-garde, here's one of Ange Mlinko's "Nine Dreams," from a 1996 chapbook titled Immediate Orgy and Audit:

Blew a brown leaf in my bed as I slept.
Moves relative to
the eyeball's tremor.
Softly boiled in a subtle change
I get up from the, in dream
pleased
greased by the oil
of a poached flower.

What are we supposed to do with this? Poetry-fear says: It's in code. Ange Mlinko is sending a message to other smarties, excluding us. If we knew more about what stuff like this is supposed to mean, we'd get it. But we feel bored, lost, and, above all, stupid.

Now the best antidote I know for fear is love. Suppose we decide to treat Mlinko's poem like something we at least want to love. First of all, then, we'd have to give up trying to figure it out, trying to make it be or do something other than what it is and does. We'd just experience it: just enjoy the explosive little B sounds of blew and brown and bed, and the jolly gently rocking rhythm of the line. "Moves relative to / the eyeball's tremor" would shift our experience into a more precise realm that feels a bit scientific; we'd realize we're still in dream territory because eyeballs do tremble in sleep. "Softly boiled" makes an unsettling and funny comparison between an egg and an eyeball (at least it does to me). "I get up from the" is interrupted by a comma, and the jerk is dreamlike; then "pleased" and "greased" get to mirror each other and we have the greasy pleasure of saying these words together. And as for "the oil / of a poached flower," that's just plain funny and mysterious: We feel greasy (still) and we feel the heat of poaching (instead of soft-boiling) and we see a blossom that's no longer there. The "cooking" we've undergone in dream makes us happy.

I guarantee that as far as knowledge goes, you have in your ordinary grasp of English all that you need for a poem like Mlinko's. What's hard is to be simple and even stupid enough to enjoy it in and of itself: its sound, its beat, its strangeness, and even your confusion -- they're all part of the mix. You don't get it? Read it again. Listen to it. Live with it. Play with it as if it were a toy. Forget about getting it intellectually the way you get a page of prose; all you can do is become more familiar with its oddness. Its oddness will seep into your nervous soul and you will glimpse the beauty of language when it's just being itself instead of doing some nasty job of heavy lifting. And, without turning into a know-it-all or a snob, you will be on your way to permanent recovery from poetry-fear.
