BELIEF IS GRIEF

Picture-poem on dreams vs. ideology, by Chris Wayan, 1992.

This just burst out one day--a ranting calligraphy-poem against ALL ideology: religions, philosophies, rules. Direct daily experience--or nightly experience, if you're a dreamer--is a better guide. The metaphor: experience is water, but belief is experience frozen into ice.


Two-page typographical picture-poem: Belief/Is grief./Drop your ice cap/of water once alive...

Congealed now/Like corpseblood/White spikes, chill pillow./But elastic pines all know:/There's a time to shrug off/Your load of blindfold snow.
