WHAT I BELIEVE

i believe in my own obsessions,in the beauty of a car crash,in the peace of the submerged forest,in the excitements of the deserted holiday beach,in the elegance of automobile graveyards,in the mystery of multi-storey car parks,in the poetry of abandoned hotels.
...
i believe in the forgotten runways of Wake Island,pointing towards the Pacifics of our imaginations.
...
i believe in madness,in the truth of the inexplicable,in the common sence of stones,in the lunacy of flowers,in the disease stored up for the human race by Apollo astronauts.

i believe in nothing
i believe in flight,in the beauty of the wing,in the beauty of everything tha has ever flown,in the stone thrown by a small child that carries with it the wisdom of statesmen and midwives.
...
i believe in the gentleness of the surgeon's knife,in the limitless geometry of the cinema screen,in the hidden universe within supermarkets,in the loneliness of the sun,in the garrulousness of planets,in the repetitiveness of ourselves,in the inexistence of the universe and the boredom of the atom.
...
i believe in the non existence of the past,in the death of the future,and the infinite possibilities of the present.
i believe in the derangement of the sences:in Rimbaud.William Burroughs.Huysmans,Genet,Celine,Swift,Defoe,Carroll,Coleridge,Kafka.
...
I BELIEVE IN THE NEXT FIVE MINUTES.

i believe in the history of my feet.
i believe in anxiety,psychosis and despair.
...
i believe in the death of emotions and the triumph of imagination.
i believe in Tokio,Benidorm,La Grand Motte,Wake Island,Eniwetok,Dealey Plaza.
i believe in alcoholism,venereal disease,fever and exhaustion.I believe in pain.I believe in despair.I believe in all children.
...
i believe all excuses
i believe all reasons
i belive all hallucinations
i believe all anger
i believe all mythologies,memories,lies,fantasies,evasions.
i believe in the mystery and the melancholy of a hand,in the kindness of trees,in the wisdom of light.
