IN RESPONSE TO A PAINTER CLAIMING TO HAVE HAD ME IN MIND WHILE PAINTING A PORTRAIT OF DIONYSUS' SECOND BIRTH FROM THE THIGH OF ZEUS.......HEY, MR. TAMBOURINE MAN....PLAY A TUNE FOR ME! I'M NOT SLEEPY.....AND THERE'S NO PLACE I'M 'GOING TO'.......





Your painting of Dionysos' emergence from the thigh of Zeus, may account for this peacock necklace, (reputably) found on the Earth, nearby the Acropolis.....partially melted by a not-quite-random firebolt from the clouds of Imagination...... Rumor has it that Semele was reincarnated as Abigail Williams, in late 17th Century Salem....or...say so....those snared by religious indulgences......However, without the 'back story', the pendant is but a found object, with great aesthetic significance, importuning its wearers to harness the mythology of Eons to bear its etheric  possibilites, like a moon drawn by luminous chariot across the darkness of the night skies, to dwell on the horizons of Tomorrows' twilights.......Yet, I am stumped by Metaphor, finding the scattering of random juxtapositions within the mass of predispositioned treasures, strewed, and reassembled like the relics of bower birds' Art......


I viewed your posts to view the painting......[birth from a mythological thigh], and reckoned an invitation to engage in fantasy cryptogenic displacement of breech birth Reality, in which the head is the last arrival from the clouds of imaginings.... as we plunge, feet-first, from the womb of Space and Time, milliseconds before light enters the dreamers' eyes...

.[Rumor has it that I was mistaken for my baby shoes and 'bronzed' in infancy, with little evidence of my Creation.....or, so swears the image from this old SX-70 photo, done later...much later....as evidential collaboration, joined with the witnessing of others.......]
