Roberta Star Semple was the daughter of Robert and Aimee Semple Mcpherson. She passed in January 2007. She is survived by her Mother's legacy. Something between Buffalo Bill and Thomas Edison to the Birth of the first media star. Well a very early one, given she spoke publicly in 1903.

Escalator

The escalator
is a dangerous enemy
who could trip you
one step at a time.
This is how the mind works,
synthesizing dream with substance.
Or as Jung
alternates
with Freud.
The substitution
of ground for holiness
claims voice as a reason
for old tribes locating
the sun
as figures
in the act, at the window.

The future derives
from sleep, evolves into gods
and animals.
This is a process
that F. chilled into
vintage prose.
Jung warmed
to the blooded world,
not alone. The human collective
describes the enormity
of a single voice. How the
minotaur
poses like God
in his mystical cellar.

Yet F. too brings the good news
that deciphers time
in focus, traveled by a map,
as if one could say
there it is! now is as good
as anywhere.
Everything is abstract
in its origin almost
as if Plato
believed in the verity
of his good republic.

The escalator goes flat by
steps. It continues
as breath does:
two men in blue suits with vests.
The moving sidewalk is
no less.
It slows into watchword, and if F.
abhorred the occult,
Jung compared sexuality
in the psychic order
to a hidden grammar,
dogma on the harpsichord.

Organized
mystery, lens-defined
hyperbole.
A science rises from obsession,
shaped like the Golem of Prague,
but who remembers
his song?
Jung catches flies
instead of fish.
F. hangs his briefs
on the line.
The world is all
alone,
all there is
to imitate.
Time limps behind
the escalator, F. stands
with a stopwatch,
Jung with a camera.
Mind in slow motion, caught in breath.

It's clear here the script is different, and so the generated texts. What's different is the location and context of processing. The first while reading Michel Foucault's horrific account in Discipline and Punish riding the Joban Line in Tokyo, and the second sitting in the Cafe Deux Maggots in Paris. The message is essentially the sayme. No Pan intended. Just a little Pain... nee mots rumoured of neural synaptic frizzzle

Alice Coltrane

2007-01-14T11:10:00.000-08:00

LOS ANGELES -- Alice Coltrane, the jazz performer and composer who was inextricably linked with the adventurous musical improvisations of her late husband, the legendary saxophonist John Coltrane, has died. She was 69.

Coltrane died Friday at West Hills Hospital in Los Angeles, according to family friends. She had been in frail health for some time and died of respiratory failure.

Though known to many for her contributions to jazz and early new age music, Coltrane, a convert to Hinduism, was also a significant spiritual leader and founded the Vedantic Center, a spiritual commune now in Agoura, Calif. A guru of growing repute, she also served as the swami of the San Fernando Valley's first Hindu Temple, in Chatsworth.
