Warming up. I started from the word PAGANISTICS and began writing an acrostic of a sort. This is something I did in TAXI!, the webzine that Keisuke Dan and I co-published in 1997-98. The problem with spontaneous writing is it so often becomes repetitious. You are wading in the shallow pool of predictibility. Anyway, it went as something like this:
Probably the most difficult task in one's life is "to be pagan," leaving behind all the beliefs that as a child you were taught to believe.
Acknowledging all the gift that the world has given to you, but not by way of the social body you were born into.
Greek philosophy knew nothing about the brutal off-springs it had centuries later, who devastated the globe beyond the point of no-return.
Asymmetrical construction of sound and meaning is the source of momentum in any linguistic creation.
Neither/or---nobody, or the one who names oneself "nobody."
Island-oriented beings are sure to fail in the business world.
Spring is formed after some kind of fern, so I am told.
The tram is no longer in use as a means of urban transportation here; a shame.
Illocutionary discouragement requires redemption.
Crucify your credo to save your creativity.
Surprise your sense by sublimating your hesitation.
A series of automated aphorisms.
