New dimensions in poetry?
Naaah, but fun nunn the less (but with less nunns):
Back from the 1960's
wʌt kɛr aɪ fɔr wʌt gɜrl aɪ ęm wɪš
wʌt kɛr aɪ ɪf ʃi smɔl ɔr bɪg ?!

Gate keepers instruction: Relax your eyes and allow the to line the images up..
So relax your gaze
In's Narrenkastltl schauen:
Notes: 1) Relax your eyes and look at the left to center eye until the pupils merge, then listen to some relaxing mozat music while gazing with your eyes at the picture
Allow yourself to slip into a deep trance like state where you may relax further, eventually emerge again refreshed and ready to take on any task.
2) Scaling the image to a size that works for you may be nessecary as every system is different in monitor size and resolution.
Try it out!
Enough of that, more at a later date:
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
Falling women - sweets and money .......
Size doesn't matter you say? Well then
And now:
Blasphemy from Frau Dulents Almanach (more later on this page.)
What the bishop won't tell you about the evolution of the church:
Indulgencies? They are like presidential pardons: 
Crime first, punishment deferred ...... until Armageddon.
It was the time of "the good times", yes, the ones that never really happened.......
Think back to the Dark Ages, the age of chivalry.......
Right after the Roman empire fell to the Barbarians
and just before Charlemane and the advent of the rediscovery of money.
They were singing:
"Didn't need no welfare state, everybody pulled his weight, guys like us
that had it made, those were the days..........."
The truth about the dark ages is revealed to us in ancient manuscripts,
QED below:
E.g.: What gave us riding sidesaddle? You asked ....
Well, try sitting on a saddle with
a rusty iron chastity belt around your underpinnings some time;
the Templar Knights knew this well:
("Our erection was stolen" they said....).
The similarities with recent events are by no means unintentional.
Initially this good work was done by a well-intentioned designer named
Moebius (ca. 1169, at the tail end of the "Dark Ages" right
in the even darker forrests near Munich). He was a
direct line ancestor of the later professor of Higher Mechanics at Leibzig
by the name of Möbius, who in 1858 expanded this very idea into a geometric
primitive that came to be known as the "Möbius - strip"
(The little pun was intentional: Möbius "- strip", as in taking it off - get it?)
History is full of subtle goodies like that. For more such
just scroll down to Frau Dulents advisories, later on this page.
________________________________
This became the underpinning, the key to the good old days as endorsed
by all manner of sectarian actors (Evangelical, Catholic, etc., etc.) :
I should mention that this design set the Australian-Kiss back, by hundreds of years
as it lead to all manner of French-kissing, but I leave further elaborations
to Frau Dulent to elaborate upon......(The current problem remains:
The device is frequently mistaken for a "Contra - Covid-19" mask).
Beyond that, it was a near "free for all" with a pass key:
(Saint Peter applied the concept to Rome)
Butt enough nostalgia, there is a new world out there waiting to be conquered!
So get out your canary and off into the coal mine!
(or at least insert the coal mine into the canary)
Expect the worst and be unpleasanyly surprised:
Back to the concept of "assart" (better look that one up!):
How can we for example give cubism a bad name?
You ask!? :
By
purposely misunderstanding the concept, of course.
QED:
still under construction cubes will be active soon.......
Meanwhile let us explore the conservative route first:
I naively thought the Trump approach is over, but it appears I was mistaken.
Money is still made with lies and distortion - "the new (?) America?"
More hoop-dreams 
Grabb 'em if you can!
It's back to chasing the allmighty buck!
After all, it's almost business as usual again .......... in it?
Combat the short sellers, clebrate chaos,
but don't think for a moment that makes you better that they are!
Further instructions from
The Artbishop of Honey Bunny are clearly in order:
Celebrating a legacy of distortion .....
Owing much to the last five years..............
Nature? Who needs nature?
About 8k, what's the other argument: When is "Too much?"
Just getting the right cables is difficult, would you read this manual?
Especially since it only tells you what the thing can do,
but it fails to tell you how to do it.
So
you got a tan in Hawaii
But
now the cops stop you at every other intersection.
Having
a black poodle doesn’t help, because he barks at
any
And
all people that come near the car.
The
vet bills are mounting, owing to stitches you have to
pay for
Every
time your dog is teased and tased.
At
first you thought it’s coincidence, or red sportscar envy,
But
you know better now: It’s endemic to a police state.
Your
president only exacerbates the situation
With
his incindiary Tweets, making him complicit in an
Already
bad, out of bounds, situation.
Then you told the FBI about Donald Trump being complicit.
And
now they are knocking at your door at all odd hours
Driving
the poodle crazy and resulting in yet more vet-bills.
It
that your concern Orpheus?
Well
take a knee and pull up your socks!
Go
and vote the Russian agent and his accomplices out,
And all his other co-conspirators!

One solution:
Collect dirty pictures! - Instead.
Delarte.com aims to
put the nude back into the renude interest among other

(UnARTige Bilder ~= Unabashed Pictures)
Either way, you've come to the right place:
The above right is what the
computer sees.
So you
found yourself in a state …….
An SState where wearing a mask is shunned as “sissy-stuff”
But you called in to get a shot anyway and you did this
Just in case Jesus has dropped you of his don’t recall list,
ja?
Three hours of recorded messages and backdrop escalator
music later
You finally got connected to a wrong number, of course the
guy didn’t tell you that.
He did tell you: “Come right over and stand in line because
there is a lull in demand just now.”
Six more hours in line to get a shot; only to find that
they’re going to poke you with a very long needle
“Unacceptable!” you screamed as you ran off into the park
next door.
Now you've permanently lost your place in the queue,
because
the nice lady that was saving it for you passed out waiting and you’re still
not immunized.
Does this describe your most recent complaints?
Muzika?!
Hit home did it?!
Well unscramble your thoughts, let them coagulate
Grab a Trump banner and start all over.
You’ll never give in, never give in!
Insist on principle.
Later you did give in after all and finally washed your
hands
Funny feeling to shed all that tradition
You feel bleached!
Now you can’t help but suspect a Caucasian ancestor somewhere
in the woodpile
It just ain’t likely to bleach out like that all of a sudden
and all at once!
No matter, you know where and when to go! Early in the
morning, to beat the demand.
Turns out everybody else had the same idea
So, you resigned yourself to another six hour wait.
Ha! They opened a parallel line; …. Nice try, but the line
is to be for card carrying members only.
Oh, if only you had signed up to get that card when you
donated to the campain. Rats!
But the mere fact that a parallel line seemed to push your own
line faster forward
Because the majority of patients bailed as the guy in front
of them got the last ampule.
The promise of a backorder with a further promise of a call
on its arrival is little comfort to you.
#$%^&*! (Swear-word!)
All the washing and waiting for naught…….
Is that what’s cramming your style?
Contributing to your complaints?
Well buck and pucker up!
Wash your mask and hands and get back in line
Even if others do not follow the rules
You never give up, never give up
Your individual resolve!!!
Months have passed the spot you usually wait in now carries
a plaque with your name on it
Touching, such consideration, for sure.
By now you have gone through all of the above
and still
Something, somehow, always went wrong
Not even changing your last name to begin with an “A” helped
Because just when you did it they changed their policy to
calling up alphabetically by first name
“To be fair” they said.
But today is your lucky day, you signed up to be one of the
first to be inoculated by a robot
What bravery! No fear of machines, after all you studied
robotics in your youth
And you still remember the World Fair in Montreal, the one
with “Robbie the Robot”
But times have changed; as the spider like machine climbs up
your pants leg
With the big syringe in one tentacle you panic, you shake
violently
Confusing the robot beyond its design capabilities and it
pokes you. Just to make a point.
Turns out you got the second shot first, plus
The side effects from hitting the wrong muscle are fierce.
But the relaxation for another two months in paid quarantine
are worth it.
Binge watching time.
Too bad it’s “Outbreak” on all channels for starters today.
“Waiting for Godot” tomorrow …..he, he, he he ………………..
”A History of the Black Plague” the day after …………….
Ha haaaaaaaa aa aa aa.
A "mere sniffle"? (My ass!)
As tradition dictates at delARTe: "Always out of order":
.
First: A typical example:
F.D.
on: Art history & Art, vs. the
Museum:
You and
many others have often
wondered why there is so much
“crap”
on the
walls of museums you have
visited, leaving you wanting for better
quality
to meet
your expectations. Well,
this might be an explanation of how
this perception,
that is
vexing so many of us, came
to be: Much
of what hangs on museum
walls
is not
necessarily good art, but is, more often than not, simply part of Art
History.
E.g.: the evolution
of artistic expression. As
such it reveals the development of
an
artist’s
progress and
very often reveals what
the museum can afford to purchase
of an
artist’s legacy. It would be silly to assume that every artist
has fully worked
at the peak of their artistic achievements throughout their carrier.
"Only the mediocre work at their
full peak of performance at all times!"
Much of
what constitutes an
artist’s oeuvre
is the struggle for surmounting
skill
and conceptual difficulties
and developing
the ideas required to make a
satisfactory
whole of what plagues
his or her mind and to bring the final
results
to the appreciation of an
audience.
