WORDS ABOUT WORDS

(1) Only a person that considers words totally worthless will ever say anything worthless enough to listen to.

(2) A poets words live in such a clean abstract world that he can't smell the shit on his fingers.

(3) Artist know things that have no names.  They are interested in exploring these things.  They are not interested in giving them labels.

(4) Art is all the things that words cannot define.

(5) Words are human like sounds used to define a very limited part of our environment.

(6) Words are human like sounds used to define the environment that the fathers encountered.  They are not necessarily the environment the children will encounter.   Evolutionary law states that only those creatures suitable for the next environment will survive.  Therefore, we must forever remain suspect of all words.  We must rely upon our senses that are capable of perceiving in real time.  These are images, tactile sensations and non-human sounds.
