Vispo Art: Untitled (Walking man) / Bad dreams / Restless reading / Bookshops are essential / Son House

 


RTomens, 2020

So what? 

Today...

Go back to bed...

All dreams are bad, these days...(latest) I'll never make the bus! I must catch that bus! I'll be stranded, miles from home...wake up drenched in sweat...

Can't settle into a book....unable to escape, even into fiction...roam from Dostoyevsky to Hemmingway...Canetti to H. G. Wells...

Manage to type, still...as if to have a least one good routine. It's therapeutic, for the duration of activity and about an hour afterwards...

The picture here is my one A3 typed piece...dunno what I think about it...do I have to think definitively about it? No. It's not bad - huh! 

Piles of books to be sold standing around under tables, bed, on the carpet...waiting for book shops to reopen so I can get some money. Bookshops are 'essential', aren't they? But they can't stay open during lockdown so Amazon make even more money...who says it isn't all a conspiracy to empower Big Business & Big Tech? 

Don't  

get

me

started...




typewriter art, vispo, concrete poetry, lockdown blues, bookshop survival, restless reading
