spies learn
how to play tennis
because
if they are tortured
they can image
they are playing tennis
which will completely
occupy their mind
and they will ignore the pain.
if you do not believe me
ask any spy.

please forgive me for being racist.
i can not help it.
it is not my fault.
i am a victim of media brainwashing.

i spend a lot of energy
to unwash the racist virus from my mind
but it is difficult
and it prevents me from doing
something much more useful.

metaphor and irony
lived together
in perfect harmony

metaphor
allows us to overcome
the limitations of language
by connecting directly
to primordial ideas

irony
allows us to overcome
the limitations of language
by enabling unavoidable
duality of our minds

few times in my life
i made visual art
and it was fun and beautiful
but it was too slow and too much hard work.

i chose to write poetry
because it is fast and easy
and i can often change my mind
and go through hundreds of ideas.

but finally i have found
a way to make visual art
and not be bored by the hard work.
i hope it works out.

visual art is cool
and my kids might like it
more than my poetry.
and i will meet new people.

i know rafael does not like
that people describe his art
but i think it is useful
to give it some context
because its value to humanity
can easily be missed.

rafael’s art transcends
any form of reality we are in
allowing our mind
to instantly go in another place,
and he does this
using only few simple shapes
in the most simple animation.

this allows us
to be something else
for few precious seconds
which is more than enough.

no one ever
in the history of humanity
was able to achieve so much
with so little.

maybe i sound like i did lsd
but i did not.

you can be liberated
only if you change your mind
at least a hundred thousand times.

changing your mind
less than that many times
is not really liberating.
