Writing Game 6.

Naming of Lovers

To-day we have naming of lovers. Yesterday,
We had Howitzer. And to-morrow morning,
We shall have Arquebus when there is time . But to-day,
To-day we have naming of former lovers, those who are tempting
like the apples hanging from the forbidden tree,
And to-day we have the naming of lovers.

This is the first one. And this
Is the one who started it all, the snake that tempted,
When you are vulnerable, helpless, and you turn to him
but he doesn’t help, he destroys all that is in his path
With empty promises and false gestures
Inviting like a beautiful candlelight, that burns you once you touch it.

This is the second one, the one who said he’d save me
his gentle talk persuaded me to put trust in him.
A helping hand in a time of need, all you need is to reach out for it.
That glimpse of hope swiftly faded,
as I reached out for him, he had vanished.
Once again I stood alone

and this left another crater in my heart.
Would I be able to take another hit?
A foolish decision, no doubt, but I put trust
in another one. Instead of one large attack on my heart
he had his manipulating tricks, and like a soldier
navigating through a minefield, with each move I risked getting hurt.

Some say that with time you’ll forget the pain
that you ought to learn from your mistakes.
But how can you forget something when it leaves a mark on your heart?
How do you know what lesson is to be learnt?
It is like you are lost and come to a crossroad,
and you just can’t tell which is the better road to take.

Hills Like White Elephants.

Rewritten as a Memoir

It‘s like it was yesterday, the feeling I had that day is so vivid. Waking up all alone, feeling so powerless, as if I had no choice over the matter and it was all up to him. When I looked into the mirror as I was getting ready, I remember looking at my own reflection and not really knowing who I was or how I had gotten to that point. Going to the train station to meet him, I trembled the whole way as I practiced my speech in silence “Honey, I think it is time to talk about the big elephant in the room. I know we haven’t been seeing each other for long, but we are in love and you have told me you are leaving your wife, so the question is really: Do you want me to keep our baby? “ This time around I was not going to melt at the sight of him, I was certain this time I would get him to show how much he loved me and our unborn baby. However that didn’t happen, for as soon as I saw him I melted down as a love struck teenager, I became numb and unable to focus. I tried to start my speech, but as I looked up and into his eyes, I blanked, looked towards the hills and said the first thing that came to mind “The hills look like white elephants don’t they?” From that moment I had lost it. I knew that all I wanted was him and nothing else in the world mattered, as long as he’d have me. How naive! I was naive, naive to think he was in love with me. The worst thing is that I was naive enough to let him decide...

Assignment 7 - Hyperfiction

When entering the page I thought something was wrong. I was just a page with a poem. No references. No author. No title. Just the poem. My conclusion must definitely be, especially in combination with the strengths and weaknesses I describe further down, that I am not yet open to this sort of literature. I am too traditionally.
When thinking about the concept, I tried to focus on the strengths and the weaknesses.

The strengths:
The text is allowed to get a ”life” outside the authors control, which may lead to unimagined places. I am reminded of two periods in Danish literature: 1920/30’s (the authors, and other artistic people, involved with Heretica) and the 1980’s (The ”Strunge” group). In both situations the groups met and debated their contribution to the literature stage. By doing so, they all had a say in everybody’s work. The difference between then and now being the individual person always had the last word, when it came to his/her text. I this new way the author sort of discard his/her text, and leave it to someone else to fix. This of course make it possible to use the combined strength of the ”world” to get the perfect poem.

The Weaknesses
A sentence keep playing in my head: ”Too many cooks spoil the broth”. If there are too many authors on a text, would it not degenerate? I am aware that avant-garde is ”in”, but sometimes one can push so much that the meaning is lost. No one really have any control over the text. And I know that is the point, but I still can help having the feeling that it is going to go wrong (either someone want to make fun with it, and enter some words totally out of context. Or someone takes it too serious, and changes it accordingly. Next thing you know you have a ”poemwar”.). Additionally, I felt it was wrong to even think about changing something. It would be some kind of intrusion. It felt like the poem really belonged to someone else, and I was just the plagiarist standing on the back of the real author trying to produce some sort of ”hit”.

Writing assignment 6 - the naming of parts

To-day we will have naming of friends. Yesterday,
We focused on the family picture. And to-morrow morning,
We shall look at the business structure. But to-day,
To-day we have naming of friends. Our goal is to
see a connection between the human relations.
And to-day we have naming of friends.

This is the first friend. We meet her in the street
She gives us a hug, and a kiss. Tell us how much she has
missed us. And what a great time we had last.
Then she is on her way. You do not remember her.
These friends increase the amount of confusing in our life.
We do not miss them, when they are gone.

This is the second friend. We typically meet them
in our work place/school. These are the friend that pretend to
listen to your problems, them spread the gossip.
These are the friends that only pretend to be your
friend. We use these “friends” to spread gossip.
We sometime miss them, when they are gone.

This is the third friend. They are everywhere.
You know their name, perhaps even a few personal details.
But no more than that. You do not really care about
there people. You only talk with them sometime.
These are the people you use to fill our time.
We sometime miss them, when they are gone

This is the fourth friend. We cannot escape
them. We are born into a relationship with them. These
are our family members. And they really
want to be our friend. If we only let them.
We spend out life trying to escape them.
We will miss them, when/if they are gone.

This is the fifth friend. There are only few of them.
Some we meet in childhood, others later. These are our
real friends. We talk to them about everything.
When we need a break in life, we seek their
support. We use them to regain structure/order.
We will always miss these friends.

Writing Game 6

Lessons in satisfied satisfaction

Today we will look at the different types of vegetables, which are
going to be your new best friends from now on.
Here we've got a carrot, and this will act as your new fix of well being
Mmm, a Mars bar just melting slowly and generously in the mouth
feeling the chocolate and caramel caressing the tongue
As I feel the fix of the sugar and contentment going to my brain

This is broccoli and this is cauliflower. We use these two vegetables for various reasons
One; to get better by eating it, two; it has a positive effect on our skin and
you can eat this raw, boiled, in pies, as a side dish – the sky is the limit
Afterwards the liquorish will nourish the nostrils even though it is placed in the the bag
the temptation is unbearable had it not been for the chewing gum for emergencies
where's the limit?

And this you can see is a pepper
there are three types of pepper you need to know off; red pepper, yellow pepper and green pepper
again this vegetable can be served in various shapes to make it more interesting.
The girl standing in her small trousers and beautiful fitted dress looks happy
as she is looking at me for comparison
Somehow the various shapes does not appear interesting

This was just a small introduction to the world of vegetables
tomorrow we'll look at fruits
Remember that even though vegetables may not appear interesting they are due to their various different colours, tastes and shapes.
Thoughts are travelling in the mind in all kinds of colours, tastes and shapes
as the eye ponder at the reflection
All the diversity feels like a room sustaining the simplicity

naming of objectives

Today we have naming of objectives,
Yesterday we had camp pitch
To-night we shall play card games after firing
But to-day, to-day we have naming of objectives

This is the map colonel
This is Kilinochchi, their facto capital
Where a bomb will go off in the main square
Luckily, exterminating one hundred Tamils.

And tomorrow it will be announced in the state television,
And they will make mention of Sri Lanka efficient army
troops will race to clear the last LTTE pockets of resistance.
Silent will reign in all the gardens: the war will be over.

This is Prabnakaran Sir
Their leader, this is the terrorist
who shall be killed in a grenade attack
in their military base.

The purpose of this is to force heir Military spokesman to admit defeat:
He will write in his communiqué:
"This battle has reached its bitter end ... We have decided to silence our guns”
He might also mention the fort and resistance of our soldiers.

At ease!
Tomorrow we will use heavy calibre weapons to capture Tamir Tiger rebels
And to-day we have naming of objectives.

Writing Game 6 re-write of "Naming of Parts"

To Heal the Wounded Soldier

Today we have naming of instruments to heal the wounded solider. Yesterday,
we had naming of body parts. And tomorrow morning,
we shall have naming of flesh eating diseases. But today,
today we shall have naming of instruments to heal a wounded soldier. The
beautiful sun reflects of the sand dunes splattered like the blood of soldiers
on the battle field of life and today we have naming of instruments to heal
the wounded soldier.

This is a tourniquet. And this is a syringe, whose use you
will see with the tourniquet. You use both of these
when you have a wounded soldier whose is bleeding or needs blood drawn.
The jeweled lizard runs down the road through
the tired feet of the wounded soldier and today we have
the naming of instruments to heal the wounded soldier.

This is an IV bag which is always used on any wounded soldier. And
please don’t let me see anyone not giving a wounded soldier an IV bag
immediately when he comes in to this medical tent. The cactus
has no blooms upon its green prickly hide for it has not seen rain
for many a full moon and today we have the naming of instruments
to heal the wounded soldier.

And this you can see is two vials of medicine. These two
medicines are the most important for a wounded soldier. The
first is morphine to ease the soldiers pain and the second is penicillin
to keep the wounded soldier from getting diseases. Always give
these two medicines to the wounded soldier. The midnight black buzzards
circle overhead looking for there next meal and today we have
the naming of instruments to heal the wounded soldier.

Here you have the tourniquet and here is a syringe these are used for
a wounded soldier. And over there is an IV bag which is always
given to a wounded soldier. Also, there is morphine and penicillin for
healing the wounded soldier. And the jeweled lizard runs
underneath the cactus with no blossoms to hide from the midnight
black buzzards watchful eye and today we have the naming of
instruments to heal the wounded soldier.

NAMING OF WAR HORNY DICKHEADS (and other stuff)

To-day we have naming of war horny dickheads (and other stuff). Yesterday,
We had daily ass-fucking. And to-morrow morning,
We shall have what to do after being ass-fucked. But to-day,
To-day we have naming of war horny dickheads. Anastatica
Burned like petite bonfires in all of the neighboring gardens of Iraq,
And to-day we have naming of war horny dickheads (and other stuff).

This is the lower dickhead, Cheney. And this
Is the upper dickhead, Bush, whose use you will see,
When you are a stupid ass-fuck. And this is Rumsfeld,
Which in your case you have not got. The branches cling
in the Iraqi gardens to their annihilated gestures,
Which in our case we have not got.

This is the motherfucker bomb of bombs, which is always released
With an easy flick of the thumb. And please do not let me
See anyone using his finger. You can do it quite easy
If you have any strength in your thumb. The blossoms of Iraq
Are incinerated, never letting anyone see
Any of them using their finger EVER.

And this you can see is the result. The purpose of this
Is to open the eyes of mindless zombies, as you see. We can slide it
Rapidly backwards and forwards: we call this
FACTS. And rapidly backwards and forwards
The early bees used to assault and fumble the flowers in Iraq:
They used to call it a FACT.

They call it easing the tension of the world: it is perfectly easy
If you have any strength in your thumb and an array of motherfucker bombs of
bombs, yiiiiiiiiii-haaaaa, down, down and away.
Which in our case we have GOT!!!!; and the Almond burns
Silent in all of the gardens and the bees going backwards and forwards no more,
For to-day we have naming of war horny dickheads (and other stuff).

rewrite of naming og parts with a war related theme

NAMING OF BODY PARTS, '

To-day we have naming of body parts. Yesterday,
We had daily dissection of bodies. And to-morrow morning,
We will learn what to do with useless remains. But to-day,
To-day we have naming of body parts. The colour of the skin of the body like coral in all of the neighboring gardens,
And to-day we have naming of body parts.

This is the lower part of the leg. And this
Is the upper part of the leg, remember this because there will be a quiz
And this is the human spine,
Which in your case I truly hope you are the proud owner of. The bones of the fingers
lying in the bowl with their silent, eloquent gestures,
Which I strongly suggest you do not give an example of .

This is the safety-catch for the saw, which is always released
With an easy flick of the thumb. And please do not let me
See anyone using it for anything but body parts! You can do it quite easy
If you have any strength in your thumb. The blood vessels
Are fragile and motionless, under the skin
NOBODY use their thumbs!

And this you can see is the scalpel. The purpose of this
Is to breech the skin, as you see. We can slide it
Rapidly backwards and forwards: but advise you not to
we call this Easing the spring, because the blood will spill every where.
And rapidly backwards and forwards leaves the skin ripped to pieces
The early cuts will be assaulting and fumbling to the body:
steady hands men.

They call it easing the Spring: it is nowhere near easy
If you have any strength in your thumb: now is the time to use it
And the breech, and the point of balance,
Which in your case you have not got yet; and the newbies
Silent and the scalpels slowly going backwards and forwards,
For to-day we have naming of body parts.

Class dismissed...

Writing Game 6 (Naming of Parts re-write)

Faults

Today we have the blaming of the faults. Yesterday,
We had the placing of the faults, and tomorrow
We shall have even more faults to place blame for
And today we have the blaming of faults
Yet the spirit will not break, just
Because we have the blaming of faults

We have the people without homes, and ask
Who are to blame for this? We sell the Products
To gain the profits we no longer have, and tomorrow still
We have the people without homes
Yet the hope flows in the unbreakable spirit,
Because we have the blaming of faults

We have the weapons of mass-destruction, and wonder
Where all the wreckage originates from? We see the destruction,
But walk right by it without as much as a glance, because
We have the weapons of mass-destruction
Yet, knowing the world, we believe there can be a new tomorrow
Because we have the blaming of faults

We need little knowledge to cause pain, all that is needed
Is the knowledge of the human brain and how this functions, with this
It is easy to cause pain and suffering, and then we ponder
Over the knowledge we use to cause pain
Yet the human brain has its defenses,
Because we have the blaming of faults

We call it war, because there is faults, and
Because people are left without homes, due to the
Massive groupings of weapons of mass-destruction and
The knowledge the people use to cause pain with these
Yet all this matters little for the spirited population,
Because we have the blaming of faults

The naming of hells

Today we have to clean what human race has permitted,
we have to put an end to all garbage,
all for starting a new age.
We need to get rid of that melting pot which completed
what we could call home, what once was a living land,
now is a dying marsh

It is their fault, you know they must be exterminated
so I do not want seeing hesitation in your eyes,
I do not need your shaking beats
I do not need that for undermine my strenght
it is enough just looking into their eyes
and finding out the same horror as in mine

You must release all your contempt in the field
since you are not allowed to think
dont let compasion exist, cockroaches do not deserve it
Let me being part of the nature, is this the path?
If I were a tree, a drop of water, a perfect strand of grass,
I would not need to use my condemned hands

The purpose is the spreding of the doctrine,
we have to pay back their wounds in our world,
there is no place for them in the river
I wonder if every single being is born with this destructive heart,
no, it would be the end, we cannot let life having wishes
because it would mean the pursuit of suicide

This is the eternal summer of our aims,
can you feel the heat of the glorious end,
that is the true need, the property of the rules,
The truth is: what is real is what we cannot get
we are always longing for things which only exist
in our unhealthy and despicable reasoning
NAMING OF PARTS

Victoria Concordia Crescit

To-day we have naming of parts. Yesterday,
We had bomb building. And to-morrow morning,
We shall have what to do after blowing up. But to-day,
To-day we have naming of parts. Arsenal is the only
Team to wholeheartedly support.
And to-day we have naming of parts.

This is the bomb belt. And this is the dynamite, which use
As you will find later, will bring you 42 virgins. And this
Is the TNT, which use you will see,
Will bring you just as many virgins
As the dynamite. And this is the abort button,
Which in your case you have not got. The glorious history of
The club binds the supporters throughout the world
Which in our case we have not got.

This is the contact-button, which is always released
With an easy push of the thumb. And please do not let me
See anyone do it away from innocents. You quite easily
Find innocents around markets. The philosophy
Is to find young talent and transform
Them into professionals.

And this you can see is the uniform. The purpose of this
Is to confuse the infidels. We can put it on and come close
to their soldiers, if not then innocents: We call this
Fooling the enemy. And as quickly as an attack is launched,
A counter-attack can cause even more immense damage
They call it fooling the enemy.

They call it Fooling the enemy: it is perfectly easy
If you have any idea of tactics: You walk in your uniform
With the bomb-belt strapped to your waist,
detonating it to get to the virgins in solidarity,
Which in our case we have not got; and the tactics
is in our advantage and the players will run around in dismay
For to-day we have naming of parts.
