A DYSTOPIC INNUENDO
they faced towards the light
or what they thought was the only bright
all of the he and she
holding hands
not making sense
of words without images
images with no words
convinced of
knowing
understanding and awareness
till
they stumbled and gave birth
the next age
was of blindfolded thought
and logic
based on a fading memory of bright
and an unexpected tumble

Bu Tarihten Önce
İlaçlarda, paketli gıdalarda bazı patlayıcılarda oldoğu gibi aile fertleri için de son kullaım tarihi vardır. Yazılı, etiketli olanlar reçetelerde, tanı ve epikriz raporlarında görülür. Hislerde ve düşüncelerde olanlar ise psikoloji ve psikiyatri ve psiko-analiz süreçlerinde anlaşılabilir, irdelenebilir.
Birincinin geçiştirilmesi finansal ve fiziki varlığın azalması, bitirilmesi, yok olması veya başka diyarlara göçmesi ile gerçekleşir.
Düşünsel veya hissi son kullanım tarihleri ilkel kabilelerde ve kin ve hınçların fiziki çözümlenme yöntemlerinin geleneksel kültürün kapsamında olduğu ortamlarda, ve yaygın inanç sistemlerinde şiddet kullanılmasın, ani veya süreli halletme yoludur.
İlkelliktan kendini kurtarabilmiş veya fiziksel şiddet kullanabilme becerisi veya gücü olmayanlar, söz ile son kullanım tarihlerinin gereğini sağlayabilirler.
Fiziki ve sözel şiddet son tarihini değiştirmese bile kullanımı kısıtlayabileceği gibi mıntıka temizliğine yol açabilir.
Aile fertleri de devletler ve güvenlik güçlerinde olduğu gibi şiddet uygulamalarında kararlı, haklı ve hatta, bazen, yabancı güçlerin etkileri altında kalmışlardır, sorulduğu zaman. Kendilerini sorgulamak alışkanlık ve eğitim ve inanç, ve öz tanımlarına karşıdır. Bu tür bir sorgulama aklın kenarından köşesinden geçse bile kendine ihanet olarak algılanır ve dağrcıktaki diğer bilişsel tutarsızlıklar arasında gizlenir.

MESELA
Varsayım olmanın acısı faraziye veya sanılıktan daha ağırdır. Faraziye hayal gücü ister, sanı ise pek bilimsel olmasa da muhakeme sonucu ortaya çıkar. En yaygını olan varsayım, en güçlü olarak insanlar arası ilişkilerde belirir, ve bir kere gerçekte olmayan mantığa yerleşti mi ilaçla, kanunla hatta damardan zerk edilen serum veya idamla tedavi edilemez.
Politikacılar, iş adamları, bilim adamları, açıktaki ve gizli güvenlik güçleri, hacılar, hocalar. eşler bu üç kavramı. anlamlarınn tüm yelpazesinde olmasa da bilerek ve bilmiyerek şahıs değerlendirmelerinde, cehalet seviyelerine uysa da uymasa da kullanıp dururlar. Başkalarına verdikleri zararı algılamayan iyi niyetliler de; özellikle zarar vermek isteyen kötü niyetliler de.
Beceriler ve başarılar ve estetik varsayımlar beğenilir, hoşlanılır; ta ki aniden veya değişik zamanlı süreçler olgunlaştığında izleyenler için geçersiz, kişi için de ıstırap, hatta kahır nedeni olurlar.
Akraba. taallukat ve sosyal olan veya olmayan çevre söz ve davranışlarını değişen varsayımlar temelinde, fark ederek veya algılamadan gerçekleştirir se vay haline kişinin. Varsayım düzeltmesi cerrahi müdahale veya mekan değişikliği gerektirir. Her ikisi de başka alemleri tanımlarında taşırlar.

Self in a Crowd
Identity in a Cloud
the first is recorded by security and insecurity cameras
the second is plucked from written stuff and thoughts
some to be archived
self to be shelved
we are rain and sleet, hail and snow
sometimes even visible enough
to be identified
we are emperors and royalty
with real or imposed pedigree
revered but not remembered by crowds of all sizes
we are in line-ups
discarded playlists

Not always
But possibly sometimes
kept within a niche
in an arctic crevice

A Long Overdue Elegy or Eulogy
I feel I am wriggling
within a peloton
without mingling
bereaving like a skeleton
confused with the spokes of the cycle
But spokes do not make a wheel
circumpolar animism missed
barely, but naturally missed
a place in the divine compendium
like a Mustel harmonium
in an orchestra of bagpipes
All of us
humans and animal and insect beings
blow out
tones and lyrics
through pipes and reeds
the world becomes an orb
Yet, this time around
the spirits in their homes stay

Venüs gezegen olarak sıradan insanlara Kuzeyi, bulutlarının arkasındakileri hayal eden büyücülere ulvi varlıkları, kendilerinin Merihden geldiğini sanıp Venüs heykelinin resminden hoşlananlara şehveti belirledi. Kadınların farklı olduğunu iddia eden erkeklik tanımlarını evrensel bilen abilere de kültür sundu.
Zühre yimibeş yaşında. Henüz adının anlamını öğrenmemiş. Acımasız okul arkadaşlarının cehaletle ve bilgisizce ismini bir gurup hastalık ile bağdaştırmasıyla sulh olamamış. Tahiri ise hiç tanımamış. Ne padişah bilir ne vezir. Afroditi kızdırır bu vurdum duymaz cehalet.
Çıkar gelir Merih. Erkek mi erkek, yakışıklı mı yakışıklı. Tam baba olacak adam. tam bir ruh ikizi.
Biri nemli, bulutlu, gizemli, diğeri sert, kuru, havasız ama yumuşak doku kıvrımları ile kas engebeleri birbirlerini cezbeder. Eder de radyasyon değil ki aşk dalgaları geçebilsin yararak olmayan atmosferi ve yoğun bulutları. Güneşin korumasız Merihe erişerek kıpkızıl yapması, temiz,. pak, günahlarından arıtması, günahın kelimesinden bile korkan zühreye afroditin erişmesini engelledi.
Merih başını çevirmeden geçti. Zühre ise sanki kolları kesikmiş gibi hareketsiz kaldı. Tahir kurtuldu makus talihinden.
Zühre de sessiz, sakin Kuzeyi gösterdi durdu, bulutlarının altındaki fırtınalar sadece bir kaç güçlü büyücü ve iki tane şaman tarafından anlaşılıp sonraki nesillere saklandı.
Buralardan Kaçmak
Yakınlarda bir zaman, zamanların içinde veya dışında ailelerinden, otoriteden, oyuncaksızlıktan filan sıkılan eski yılların çocukları bir çıkın hazırlayıp, onu bır dalın ucuna takıp, daha hoş veya eğlenceli veya heyecanlı bir yaşama giderlerdi, o mekanın sadece bır kac yüz metre veya iki, üç sokak ötede olduğunu algılamak istemiyerek.
Yeni çocukluğumda ben de benzer bir arayış veya kaçış düşünüyorum, otoritesiz, sorumsuz ve oyuncakları olacağını umduğum bir diyara.
Çıkınlar geleneksel olarak küçüktür, taşıyan çocuk büyük insan cisminde olsa da. İleri yaş çıkınlarına somun ekmek ve peynir konmaz herhalde. Çikolata, Ciklet naylon çorap gibi modası geçmiş savaş zamanı rüşvetleridir, asker çantalarının gizli bölmelerinde taşınan.
Müzik kayıtları, meşhurların eserleri veya fotoğrafları uzay kapsüllerine veya gömülen özel madeni sandıklara konup unutulur.
İleri yaş çıkınlarında en çok hatıralar bulunur. Çucuklarla, torunlarla, eşinizle gülüşmeler, heyecanlar, keşifler, görüntüler, ve hepsini paylaşma mutlulukları ve o mutluluk hislerinin zaman kristallerinde saklanmış, yer çekimine de kara deliklere de dayanıklı zerreleri.

ÇOCUK OYUNCAĞI
Büyük insanlar da çocukdurlar, çucukluklarını izci üniforması veya dönen dantelli etek ile yaşamış olsalar veya olmasalar.
Yıllar, yıllar önce dipsiz sanılan kuyulardan, masal kötülerinden korkulurdu. Sonra dipsiz kuyuların da kötülerin de insanların arasında, içlerinde. karşısında olduğu bazıları tarafından anlaşılır hale geldi. Bu kabul etmesi çok güç görüş, kısa insan hayatının düşünebilme becerisi süresine sığmak istemedi. Dışarı taşınca da sıvı, katı ve gaz olması zorlaştı. Belki de halen son yılların modasına uyabilme ümidiyle plazma veya zaman kristali halinde varlığını sürdürmeye çaba gösteriyordur, yer çekimi gbi insan çekimine karşı gelerek.
Bozulan oyuncağının çalışmamasını cezalandırmak için oraya buraya atan çocuk ve ayağı taşa takılıp düşen kızını düşerek kendisini streslendirdiği için tokatlayan veya çimdikliyerek çekiştiren veli ile karısının veya kocasının sorunlarını kendisine karşı bir tutum olarak değerlendirme kolaylığını yeğleyen eşler dipsiz kuyuların dehşetini ve masal kötülerinin acımasızlıklarını vazgeçmedikleri çıkınlarında taşırlarken yer çekimini de insan çekimini de dışlarlar, yaşamlarındaki zaman kristallerini yok sayarak. .

ONLY TWO ????
The proposed new theory of gravity is based on the postulation that the entire universe is composed of only two fundamental particles with few binary characteristics. The theory reconciles quantum gravity with general relativity. It explains the mass/gravity duality.
So, duality can be explained

and in that of the politically insane
a grave insult
to them and to me
punishable by a hefty fine
and incarceration
in a cell
or within a particle
with almost no differentiating characteristics.

HIDDEN STUFF
Too many years ago, in Riyadh, a Cypriot neighbor's five year old son confessed to hiding his mother's wedding ring, There was a huge search in the simple accommodation provided by the employer, but the ring did not show up. And Christos never remembered where it was hidden, although he was proud that he had found the best hiding place.
As time flies as it is meant to, we hide other things, mostly memories, experiences, esoteric knowledge, faces, names, mathematical and magical and mystical formulas, unnecessary useless derivatives and integrals or vectors.
Some of these are secreted away intentionally. Other thoughts, data and feelings are unintentionally put into rooms with strong doors and locks and chains, requiring significant and sometimes, tortuous and painful dispensation to break in, even possibly some not very welcome bodily invasion. When this type of cache is opened the stuff found in the room and through the invasion may easily become subjects of fearful dreams. That is a part of what life is about, I say, "Just bear it and continue rolling the ball of worthless, wormless compost towards the looming horizon."

503. Kazıma Yöntemi
Bu yöntem her zaman umulan sonuçları vermez. Zaten kullanma amaçları da bilimsel kabul görmeyebilir, arif ve bilge insanlar ve öyle olsun olmasın, tarihçiler, tarafından.
Dersimizin laboratuarına katılmanız ve deneylerde gösterdiğiniz ilerleme başarı notunuzun önemli bir kısmını oluşturacaktır. Laboratuarda, ihtiyacınız olacak her türlü alet, edevat bulunmaktadır. Yani çomak, çapa, tırmık, matkap, büyüteç, mikroskop, ters bakmalı dürbün, hipermetrop ve astigmat cözlükler bulunmaktadır. Daha kapsamlı alan çalışmaları içi ise elektrikli kepçe veya endoskopi cihazları getirtilebilir.
İlk öğrenmeniz gereken amacınıza ve çalışma alanınıza uygun aletlerin seçimidir. Çok eskiden geçmiş zamanlar ile yeni dönemler arasında ve bilgi ile his ve görüş arasında uygulama farklılıkları olduğunu bilmeniz konferanslardaki dikkatinize ve iç güdülerinizin gücüne bağlıdır.
Aşağıda listelenen konulardan bir tanesini seçerek, bir uygulama planı hazırlamak ilk ödevinizdir:
1. Yeni dönem (son on yıl) sanatsal hafıza
2. Eski dönem (geçmiş yirmi ila otuz yıl arası) politik hafıza
3. Rahme düşme ile üç yaş arası duygular
4. İlk Okul ve Orta Okulda kazanılanlar
5. Lise ve üniversite yıllarında amaçlı veya amaçsız olarak öğretilen yanlış bilgilerin etkisi.
Kitaptan ve/veya internetten bölümler eklemeniz yasaktır. Benim eski yazılarımdan yararlanırsanız gerekli noktalama işaretleri ve dip notlarla belirtilmelidir.

Nature's Inhumanity to Nature
A tree is what nature is
an apricot tree
married to a small paved yard
longer than my marriage
nourished by love
fruited after twenty years
in sympathy
to aging inhabitants
and to
the suffering of its family members
from wild fires
long way away.
with a silent request
for the pits of the fruit to be saved
in the damp compost of my memories
CONTEMPLATING COMPENSATION
Male psychology is not as much into compensation for grievances as female mindology when the grievance may be classified as mythical-emotional. Yet muscular memory plays an important role in male compensation, especially when there is no financial judgement that materializes in a modern world with no surviving Oedipi and too many dominating matriarchs.
Shearing off unwanted growth
is a delight
when the growth is a weed
or when it is a fungus
inedible
but the shearing of
views, beliefs, perspectives
is best when all of these are
consumable
In years and other times
when there were no containers
to contain them
in shapes to shape them
thoughts to think them
And when they are eaten,
and consumed
and boxed
and shaped
and thought
There is still no memory
of the unwanted
and even of the wanted

SIGHT PERSONALIZATION
astigmatic observation
common for political eyes
denied by family and fellows
measured by uncaring equipment
used to provide for the seemingly caring
notwithstanding
reptile tears
resulted also
in the collapse of my tennis career
when joined by my paradoxical eyes
one far sight
one near sight
combined for cognitive discrepancy
culprit of so many missed balls,
and missed meanings
badly aimed shots
when the recommended arm stretch
or the wished mind stretch
became inoperative jokes
T'IS THE 43rd ANNIVERSARY
Albeit
Sometimes life pays you by the number of letters you use.
Hence the real. Capitalized Title.
Anniversaries are nothing like real ones
whatever they may be
firsts, lasts, farewells
junked cars, typewriters, loves, crushes
then comes one who is a never ending pause
between dull operatic episodes
many with same actors
and similar characters
and toiling coils which do not produce
an amp of compassion
or high passion
or exhilaration.
The real season
with myriad episodes
developing, changing,
eager characters
always remembering their lines
and moves on the stage
with no fear of finding another part
or appearing in another episode
strangely satisfied
satisfactorily strange
mimicking their years
and ages
and anniversaries
during all the ages of mankind

Daughters and Dads on Fathers Day
appear different
somehow
to viewing eyes
which find reasons for the blurring
seeing the aspirations
and the hopes
and the fleets of fancy
sailing in the blues and greens
of their soul gates
movements of shoulders and arms
tossed hair
tossed cares
shrugged worries
packaged and packed
in boxes and cases
in the whirlycues of gray
be they the clouds in the sky
or matter enclosed
in overflowing personal storage
which will be the only burden
to be carried away
and carried far
and carried beyond
to join millenia
in a picture of dads
running

knowingly nodding
marching

moods

behavior
and movement of money and others
hoping that a time will come
when fish do not grow on trees
or when the left and right sides
become brain brothers
to emotionally load
and unload
garbage
and verbiage
rationally better left alone
but magically and mystically
serve you in the socialization of parts and limbs
and tensions
fitness
and relaxations
in harmony with some
even if a few
more so than many
lovingly gathered and nurtured
living in and around you
seen and unseen
and felt by known and unknown senses

FROM THE DESERT OF TIME
I once met an Afghani prince
no relative of the Hungarian Prince Kemal of my teens
the Afghani built pyramids far from Egypt
structures of envy and greed
without mummies or artifacts
the Hungarian prince rebuilt dreams
and visions of feminine beauty
Greek actress Aliki and a Brasilian dance group
of different eras
long gone
with the quicksand they paced
Both princes were somehow related to games of rubber bridge
which also disappeared
except for the plastic playing cards
which can still be used
to build towers

Ages Of Mystery
The child seeks mysteries
and surprises
behind doors
and whispers
in paraphernalia
and in boxes
or drawers
or a mother's hug
and even in an ant and its friend the bug
The old seeks protection
and certainty
stead of adventure
or inventory
of things in cupboards of memory
in parlors dusty
no longer puzzled
preferred to be let alone
and not to discover
that which has stayed hidden
behind broken shutters
even when the smell of wild fig
drifts by.

Pesonal Unorthodox Crepiderianism
Tonight, as I stepped out
to get a whiff of fresh air
I heard a snail say to a slug:
"belief in an illusion

is your very self
being totally competent
in your own incompetence,"
Was it malice or stupidity

A FABLE FOR ALL CREATURES
There were too many eggs
all hatched at the same time
or so it seemed
for time has little meaning
for eggs
or for hatchlings.
They all checked themselves
for appendages
for instincts
and for mouth and teeth.
and naturally, for balance
then they scuttled or careened away.
except for one who had no tail,
he realized.
and no balance
and with strange thoughts.
of living an unbalanced life
shunned by all.
until a little boy picked him up in warm sweaty hands
he had no companions also.
for he had a tail
a fabulous friendship started.
they shared the one tail
but also many tales
that each made up.
Their own story was not the only one I heard
but i forgot all the others.
and wanted to share this before it also was forgotten
If you come across a tailless lizard and a boy with a tail
ask them for other tales
and record them
and please share them also
with all those who have something missing
and maybe tails will grow back one day
and missing parts appear,
making everyone a unique complete tale.
Olden days are remembered
sadly
vividly
when you are about to sleep
or wake
to a palaver
heard
and almost understood
involving hunters and game
adults and secrets muttered.
which drift away
leaving miracles
every day
to a fading sun
a favorite cat or two
and a tough to fulfil desire
to stretch
as though
those days are within reach

Writer Suffers but Remembers days of imported wisdom and joy:
At a time when creativity seems to have flown out of the drilled cranium, aome memory cells work double hard to make up.
This is a review of "Nile Shadows" by Edward Whittemore, a favorite book of a favorite author.
Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2010
The street where I was born and lived on and off; the one where I still live is called "BehindPalace" possibly because of My great grandfather's long gone mansion or the imposing German Consulate in a way the word "behind" loses its meaning.
STREET BEYOND THE PALACE
It was a narrow street of cobble stones
used for playing football
and then paved with asphalt
not only for hopscotch by the few girls
but other imagined ball games
while I watched from the corner
on days I dared to leave the high- wall- bound garden
with its rusted car chassis intact with a stick shift or hand break,
a three feet tall foundation,
away from a well with its hole half in the wall
and a cistern next to the large wooden gate
on the steep slope named after a bearded grandfather leading up to the street
where the soccer games were almost as interesting as the bugs and the birds of the garden
and the fruit trees and the foundation where a treasure stayed buried
and the old cistern containing mutilated bodies of discarded linoleum.
My soccer career consisted of the two times I was asked to join one of the teams,
and I missed kicking the ball just as I woke up.
until similar circumstances were presented some years later at school,
but fully awake for the misery.
Children and vendors mingled in my street streams,
both types of memory without artistic merit,
of an unfamiliar world of unknown kids and unappreciated food sold by hungry emaciated old men.
