The Masque and Spectacle of Hollywood - a Forest of Pavements

Where in 1922 The King of Hollywood, Douglas Fairbanks enacted to pursue the rich to pay the poor as Robin Hood, posing as the ultimate Cuculatti.

Now my beloved, step down from your chariot, and let not your foot, my lord, touch the Earth. Servants, let there be spread before the house he never expected to see, where Justice leads him in, a crimson path.



"I am a mortal man, I cannot trample upon these tinted splendours without fear thrown in my path".
(Agamemnon to Clytemnestra)

The Uncarpeted Reality.
The carpeted space is veneered with the colour of our interior, outwardly accessible and yet isolated from the location of its common ground, the inhabitants and their mutual gaze occupy a shared totality. 
Secular temples; The Ineffable Space (Courbusier) and the Tabula Rasa of the cinema screen.


On Malibu Beach by Alpha Lima Hotel
An old Collie Dog with a (rich or poor) Dude,
Lived in a house or lived on the beach - 
Can"t tell
Well, his dog stared at me for a long time,
then he came up behind me
and poked me in the bum.
It was very funny, the man apologised.

Davids Morning stroll.

On uncarpeted ground, a Rebus in Beverly Hills accompanies the local news, where the news vender wanders the poiesis slumbers,

Una postal on es veu la cara
d'una vella i, mitjançant
un sistema d'incisions en persiana,
en estirar una llengüeta, apareix
la màscara del diable.

Al darrere llegiu amb faltes d'ortografia
que de nit no us heu de mirar al mirall
amb un llum encès a la mà.


El dia a dia, 1988-1992  Every Day - Joan Brossa
