About Me
|
Who am I? Between myself and myself I can see an abyss. What can I say? Perhaps one should just create... Perhaps creation is the only answer to all questions. So here I am, creating who I am to be... Dreams, hopes, illusions... Beautiful blue mornings, shiny aegean waves stabbing my senses to the bone. Fresh breeze makes the fishing boats creak, sunrise so smooth, a moment so entire. The Canal St Martin around midnight. Fireworks of the "present moment". Rainy day, listening to some boring professor, looking outside the huge Sorbonne windows. The Quartier Latin. Wishes, hopes, memories... sketches of children playing in the Luxembourg Garden. Once it had snowed, and while walking near the frozen fountain, I thought this surreal silence was to reign forever. Bicycles, and long,long swims. Diving for seashells. Sand and salt stuck to your nostrils and cover your hair. Voices of loved ones, voices of singers and poets "and protectors of the mind". Impressionist pictures, and real life moments not less impressionist. Between my self and my self, I hope I'll be given the chance to create!

The Bit Generation
We are the bit generation.
Yes, we were born on the road, but the road’s getting smaller and we’ve seen it all.
The others before us were never satisfied – we are forever quite content. We are a bit lost but our parents can’t beat us. PCs are getting faster every day & we are told to always fasten our seatbelts.
Our programmed lives run on the screen, we burn our songs before they’re ripe& rip our music. (The words sound violent but, honestly, we commit no crime.)
We are the bit generation, a patchwork of pixels running around.
What’s ethical, we don’t really care to know.
We don’t have to choose between yes and no.
We want to have both the one and the nought.
A bit of this – a bit of that.
A bit anarchist, a bit conservative.
A bit organic, a bit modified.
A bit Christian, a bit Nietzschean.
A bit concerned, a bit indifferent.
We are a little bit of everything and it’s not so big a deal.
Memory has always been read-only, but the bit generation forgets that it depends how you translate it for the future (& it’s best not to think about it, lest greenhouse gas is all there is to find.)
We know how to consume a lot but we don’t take up much space; we’re always zipped & won’t cry or make unnecessary noise.
Our heart beats like a digital alarm clock, in little bits of acute beeps.
Our heart bits & it’s so tamed & dispersed in little bits it rarely bites. Besides, when we protest it’s by e-mail & we’re careful not to give our real address.
Our life is carefree enough & when we think it’s getting heavy we download bits of it.
We are the bit generation, isolated amid blind optic fibers & so perhaps I’m wrong since I can’t really see my generation.
But I think we are the bit generation & eight bits make up a byte, which is another useless information.
