Port of Empathy (Part 2) - Wolfgang Günther (Germany)/David Stone (USA)/ Cheryl Penn (South Africa)

Port of Empathy
‪Part 2


Preface
Starting, following.
With three people
there is always one nearer to a middle.
With 1 ethnic language
for speakers of different native voices
the situation of dialogue is not ideal.
(Said Habermas.)
Esperanto would change that.
(Says Nula Horo.)
But it's indeed worth trying.
(That's what I say.)
It's part of a world-wide icarian responsiveness.
Staying in the air, detecting, landing, digging, finding.
Getting to know.
Getting beyond.

Wolfgang Günther (Germany)

has the feeling of an odd though poetic panel discussion. It works because there is some similar vein in which the 3 of us use language and it becomes interesting because it allows our differences to be accentuated.

David Stone (USA)

Somehow it didn’t matter the order in which we wrote, nor that the theme was disjointed, just that we wrote together, pulled far away words close and wrapped ourselves for a moment in language that superseded daily handling.

Cheryl Penn (South Africa)



‪1.
‪Know, choose & give.
‪New ends to similar beginnings.
‪New outsets to old deadlines.
‪Kiam la luno ciklas -
‪contageous yawning.
‪Confoundly helping &
‪indiferently empathetic (?)
‪Cake-clock-clue-date
‪at black hole`s gate,
‪but no common number yet
‪for the common crunch planet...
‪The rules for spelling time as neuroscience.
‪The rules for tellig time as omnipotence.
‪& 2016: year of the pulses.
‪Moros, cristianos & judios:
‪black are the beans & white the rice.
‪Wide-zero-privacy-android.
‪Here mushy rooms, there arid brooms.
‪Having or feel it?
‪Grimmaceous Mother Hulda.
‪Avoiding afterwisdom.
‪Caring for the appropriate Ätherleib
‪while you are looking
‪for your parking lot in orbit.
‪Pues sea como sea :
‪Siempre es comienzo.
‪Kiam la luno ciklas...

‪the experience. I asked Noah to recite the Kaddish- proof that I believe in God? 
ports. travel. travail. the odyssey of partners. ideas. storms.
when we last worshipped together?
did we-really-ever?
‪ 
‪it is a tranquil moment. a motive. oars sound. quiet. lapsed.
Elohim. the gods. the flesh matters. soil on this earth-is it good? 
to worry? to drive- a victim. one steps on a bug or swats a fly.
did Albert Schweitzer ever do that when he played the organ? 
a trial. a standup comic-I tell you I don't get any respect-keep quiet about that.
a great victory one right after the other.
opportunities to recycle plants.
in the form of fossil fuels or fused particles as we row.

3.

Know Choose and Give?
Tranquil moments?
Motives?
Fused particles?
he thought/we thought
 he was going mad
a phantom
a cubby hole
with filed weapons
I knew who did this.
there were only a few moments
held together with now
images by unknown artists
but
only one person could bring him success
and only for love.
Come now!
You think
this theory is based on proof?
he found out
and threatened the dalliance
-          (as he called it)
and neither forgave the girl in the splattered dress.
Its hard to go somewhere
living side by side
with old memories
I went back
At - Exactly On Time
the good memories -
they are those that hurt the most -
       ANY port of empathy (for  Enigmatics) will do.


4.

Hello, let's see:
Beauty as food.
Claims & relations.
Even the hexamercerata
develop solidarity.
Wanted for salvage.
Social monitoring & metafacts.
The agencies of makebelief & hope
stand by our side..., true?
Deentitation & dual narration.
Good art does what is necessary.
The moments of great moments.
MERS will be doomed,
despite all Alberts.
Well done:
The Institute of Earth & Space
so far denies the obligation
to choose between beyond & secular.
It rather wants to fuse them.
& there is nothing wrong
with splattered dresses...


5.

‪ ports of empathy true or false-is it an outburst of emotion or quietly felt
and
unexpressed.
(A Hallmark greeting card?) 
a holiday occasion with a lot of family.
crying at a real wedding or actors on the screen
or stage
faking tears and getting the audience to cry along with them.
a phd in drama-the art of tears.
‪ 
6.

pluralistic, comprehensive dukkah/tanha
the anatomy of sorrow.
“there is no soundness in my flesh”.
Kempis (a vale of tears) - no greeting card that.
Secret sorrows of which the world knows not
Longfellow was not cold but wretched
(can empathy be moderated?)

I’m tired of looking
for tracked down fires
burns and splinters - repeat
you’re not supposed to be here
do you think I want to be?
do you think I haven’t noticed
that he was gone
everything turned red
in his absence
the dragon turned carmine too.
how could they do this in flickering neon lights
falling to the floor in a fake year.
swimming tubes in tunnels
a wilderness adventure
I left my keys please open the gate
       How can I know
          What I have not known?

7.

the sentence of going apart,searching for an apartment
somewhere beneath the tall spires. I aspire. a dream.
a ship. assaillantes. require. bought. stolen diamonds. thirst.
down digging beneath the crust. the mantle. mental salient. resolved. spite.
Many

Ci risiamo.
Living
the membrane.
Walking
the borderline.
The seas
with much ado about land.
Multum quis facit,
qui multum diligit.
Dear all!
You better rilate than maintain.
Cross-race bias,
notwithstanding.
Pretty-hard-to-do
(phd)-philosophy.
The ever-present human
dynamics, avoiding
soulsquatting though
& too much waste
(& lavishness).
See:
Ironing shirts is
as preposterous as
aluminiumfoil...
For 1 kg aluminum
one
could iron 225 shirts.
But –
who wants to do that?


9.

Be careful with those boxes
touch nothing
she was cold you know
she wanted a fire
not to keep warm,
but to hide
people burning letters?
Yes from those they cannot have.
This is not a complete set
a story that doesn’t make sense
shirts? aluminum? lavish waste?
I know this is annoying
and home troubles belong to all
         - traditional effects.
why do you not want us
to find the truth?
and they disappeared
their faces, their souls.
I don’t think the security units
were functioning honestly
     - Do you understand?

10.

hidden of course in plain sight inside the text. use.
foreign still tinkering in a kind of cold storage box.
columns. wasted. watered. nutrition studies. planks. hidden by atomic fusion.
we relapsed.
bought certain sustainable items. placed them in an aluminum tank.
called the president on the telephone for assitance.
aid.
despite the riots and the value analysis tempered.
redistributed.
undernourished.
provisions.
in the bank.

11.

2015 – Year of the light.
All have a glimpse!
Says Francis
en LAUDATO SI':
This world is more (then)
than a problem to resolve...
Addressing again
the hidden 3rd.
Security beyond all Freuds
& home, sweet home
& anonymities of
the black market.
The own from outside
& the other from within.
The we-s
in front of mustering-outs.
Rather the incomplete less
than total nothing.
What´s the sence in falling
to one's eternity
because of overcomplex
& expensive footwear?
Aluminĉerkoi &
transgenai la semgrenoi.



12.
2015 excavations. expansions.
deliberations whole. altruisms. exceed gold and diamonds.
cuts into flesh.
figments offend the disastrous statements
of police and politicians urban citings.
I reacted as though
some kind of alien force forgot me after I agreed to leave.


13.
From here - north or south?
(The Alien withdrawal I mean)
Its all an industrial evolution
in-sight
of dank courtyards
infinitesimal suffering
how did we endure?
its very cold
the other day down to -3
but I prefer it said he -
I do this all the time
getting caught
taking off before I begin
to turn us all down.

14.
a walk a journey barred back wards people repopulate decimated zones
Albion launched saucers stats crypts encrypted formed millions of attenuated
barriers. Winston Churchill lunched on heated sausages eighteen barrels
of iced port.bricks. absolved. we broke Mach 5?
fifteen trillion time zones since Australopithecus first lunched here.
the carbon deposits provided the proof.
right here in my back yard station where at we have heated steaks just last year.

15.
Kie la vorto parolas...
Hallmarks &
disorders & decisions.
Demographics.
Faux empathy
en 2-lane-roundabouts.
The loss of keys
scattered to the 4 winds.
Man: stakeholder
& at risk...
See the rodents compassion.
Low growth - &?
Marhaba, makabrio.
Going nuclear  is
trendy again...
Cash slips decide
in our final shot studios.
Uwaga & ubuntu.
The port is still open.

16.

The port is still open
But entrance is blocked.
It’s the end of containment
yellow lights
rained ahead
failed experiments
she could not leave her people behind.

you cant fight
so cover up
the loads
the prizes
of grim reapers.
trolley wheels
three apiece while you take your 100 chances.
the ground was hacked
mapped
by those that sky fell
never the same again.
Lights out
a search team
sent
to ports of empathy
who helped them?
who produced their cause?
tell me you never set them free?
are we back to
Whatever you wanted/needed to do?








 Book/Chapbook made for An Encyclopedia of Everything
The suggestion for a three-way collaboration came from
Wolfgang while I was in Australia in very early June. 
My first port of call was - always is David Stone (USA). 
He very kindly agreed and here follows our Tri-Way.   

Wolfgang begun on 10th June 2015, David followed and
I was third.
