first in the city / last in the city (thus krishna on the battlefield)

 'the shift from wanting to be first in the city to wanting to be last, is, by a mutation of pride, to trade a dynamic madness for a static one...' 

- e.m. cioran, history and utopia

'and this (as horsemouth pointed out at the end of april) is the mutation horsemouth is trying to undertake, to move away from his concern with the communal endeavour...' 

and this, it now occurs to the somewhat dull mule, is keir starmer's problem also. currently he is important and heroic, but soon he could be minor and comic. it may be that is not what he wants. it may be that it will happen anyway. 

yesterday egg deliveries and sylvia visited. black gloves in the abbey porch. 

'then lord zippy did address bungle sunk in deep despair...'

a friend has proposed bungle and zippy for the famous arjuna and krishna live from the chariot between the two armies scene. horsemouth likes this idea. 'how can I be expected to deal with this?' moans one 'I'm just a bloody sock puppet'. 

well it's the morning (which was sunny and has now darkened over)

horsemouth has found the hereford times puzzles page and will attempt the sujiko (actually the sakuro) in a bit. 

today maybe some bad news (or maybe not). 

today is the anniversary of the recording of huntington ashram monastery at the coltrane family home in 1969 (great ron carter bassline). 

it is also ascension day - the day when we play ascension fucken' loud.
