Tattoo You
One of the things that /
freaks me out about this place /
the planes
no, no little Fantasy Island

Tattoo
frothing on the
beachfront
but
THE PLANES! THE PLANES!
It’s a
small airport
with a
fucking long runway
ideally sited &
suited to service
the military training area
a few kilometers away
& in the
night
or the
early morning
every
so often
the little propellered
commuter craft
are replaced by
THE PLANES! THE PLANES!
First
the chartered C5 Galaxy
[—Capacity: 36 fully-loaded 463L-type cargo pallets (88″ x 108″ @ 10,000 pound (4,536kg) capacity); 270 passengers in the air-bus configuration*; six transcontinental buses; two M1-A1 Abrams main battle tanks; seven UH-1 Huey helicopters; one U.S. Army 74-ton mobile scissors bridge. (A combination of pallets and wheeled vehicles can be carried together when required.)—]
that unloads tanks
in the middle of
the night & manages
to shake & wake an
entire city
& does it again
twenty-four hours later
on its way out
& then
the army
five jumbo jetfulls
in at ten minute
intervals & out
at the same rate
an hour later
& then
at an un-
specified time
the
fighter jets will come screaming
down the valley
& I will shit myself
with conspiracy paranoia

Perception & Projection
Perception is Projection, a topic covered from the first day of the NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) Coaching Practitioner Training, simply means that you cannot perceive anything around you that is not you. There is, however, no scientific evidence supporting the claims made by NLP advocates, which is why it is described as a pseudoscience based on outdated metaphors of the brain’s inner workings that are inconsistent with current neurological theory & contain numerous factual errors. — H.J. Heinz: 57 Varieties of synecdoche.
OK, that’s Factchecker out of the way.
So let’s go back to Carl Gustav & pro-
ject the hills are alive with the sound of
music & see how people perceive that.
“Projections change the world into the
replica of one’s own unknown face” is
what Jung said. Does that mean I look
like Julie Andrews & don’t know I doe
a deer? Oh dear. How will people per-
ceive me now that a few of my favorite
things are projected on my forehead?
Can they help bring me back to d’oh?
