PA SAATپاساعت

ساعت 
پا ساعت 

٢
وقت را بر برجی بلند نشاندم 
تاوقت به بازی بازگشت 
وقت باز گشت 
زیرا 
برج ساعت نمی میرد 
کسی که وقت را ویران کرد 
این را هرگز نمی دانست 
١

پا ساعت
 pa sa'at,clock tower,sari,mazandaran
Meidan Sa'at is the center of Sari and Mazandaran,Iran
and even the world
This is the only independent clock tower in Iran,
not leaning on any other structures.
IT IS SPRING FORWARD
DO NOT FORGET TO ADJUST YOUR TIME TONIGHT
WITH CLOCKTOWER OF SARI,
MAZANDARAN
IRAN

*PA SA'AT

سر بند سر زمین سبز A HEAD TIE OF GREEN LAND
 در شمال IN THE NORTH
 یا تمامی سر زمین محبوبم OR ALL OVER MY BELOVED HOMELAND.
 تو برج یا میدان می خوانیش YOU CALL HER SQUARE OR TOWER
اما او همیشه پا ساعت بوده است BUT SHE'S BEEN PA SA'AT FOREVER.
وقتی شهرداری او را به سکوت وا  داشت ONCE AUTHORITY ORDERED HER SILENCE
و مزدوران
 او را به زمین آوردند AND THERE WERE THUGS
TO TAKE HER DOWN.
پایین آمد اما بیرون نشد SHE WAS DOWN
BUT NOT OUT
و مردم به خیابان ها  ریختند AND PEOPLE POURED OUT INTO STREETS
با او WITH HER
و حالا دو باره AND HERE SHE GOES AGAIN
جوان و توانمند YOUNGER AND STRONGER
برج ساعت سر زمین سبز A CLOCK TOWER IN GREEN LAND
که بر کسی تکیه ندارد WHO IS NOT LEANING ON ANY ONE
و بالا و تنها AND TALL ALL ALONE
ایستاده ست  دلاور STANDING GALLANT.
اینجا میدان ساعت ساری است IT IS SA'AT SQUARE
OF SARI
سربند سرزمین سبز A HEAD TIE OF GREEN شمال در IN THE NORTH
یا در تمام سر زمین محبوبم OR ALL OVER MY BELOVED COUNTRY
ساعت SA'AT
پا ساعت PA SA'AT.

WE DID IT AGAIN

 FARAMARZ SOLEIMANI
*...AND NOW IT'S CASTER SEMENYA'S TURN
TO BE TESTED FOR TESTS.
I WONDER THIS IS FOR THE NAME
OR FOR GENDER?

WE DID IT AGAIN
WE DID IT TO MICHAEL,THE KING OF POP
WE DID IT TO ELVIS,THE KING OF ROCK
WHO'S ALIVE AND WELL
TO MARILYN "THE BOMBSHELL"AND MILLER
AND JACK AND BOBBY
AND TED OF CHAPPAQUEQUE(OR WHATEVER)
TO MARLON AND HIS DAUGHTER AND HIS SON
AND EVEN TO HIS NATIVE AMERICAN CAUSE
TO BILL , THE WHITE BLACK BOY OF ARKANSAS
TO CHARLES"I LOVE AMERICA"KRAULT
TO MICHAEL"THE BIG FISH"PHELPS
AND THEN PUT HIM IN WATER
WITHOUT HIS TAIL AND FINS
TO MICHAEL WICK,A FALCON TURNED EAGLE
TO A ROD,CARL LEWIS,SOUSA,BARRY THE BIG BABY
TO IRON MIKE,DONTE
ROGER,MANNY,MARION JONES OF CARIBBEAN
TO REDSKINS SEAN TAYLOR OR TITAN/RAVEN STEVE MC NAIR
TO O.J.THE JUICE
NOW TO RICK
BUT HE'S RICH
AND HE'S GOT POWER...
WE RUINED WOODY
WE PACKED JOHN TO HIS BLOODY VOCAL CORD
WE DECONSTRUCTED CHARLIE CHAPLIN
AND PACKED HIM OVERSEAS
WITH HIS HUGE FAMILY
TO HIS HUGE MANSION IN SWITZERLAND
AND HE STILL MAKE US ALL LAUGH
WITH HIS MONKEY TRICKS
*
WE DID IT AGAIN
WE MADE SHINING STARS,
A LUSCIOUS BITE
AND SOON SELL THEM TO PAPARAZZI AND TABLOIDS
TO DRUGS
SEX AND
SCANDALS
IN ARGENTINA
OR ON APPALACHIAN TRAIL
AND SOME SECLUDED HUT
IN MONTANA

...AND NOW
LADIES&GENTELMEN
WELCOME TO OUR SHOW

HERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRE'S
JACKSON X 5
AND MUCH MUCH MUCH

IT AIN'T OVER

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WASHINGTON,D.C.(JULY 16,1790)

ON THIS 17TH ANNIVERSARY OF MOVING FROM MY BELOVED NEW YORK,NEW YORK TO WASHINGTON,D.C.AREA ,I DEDICATE THE POEM : "19 REASONS..." TO REMEMBERANCE OF JAMES SMITHSON.
JAMES SMITHSON,THE FOUNDER OF SMITHSONIAN MUSEUMS WAS BORN IN FRANCE IN 1765 AND LEFT HIS FORTUNE TO BUILD SMITHSONIAN MUSEUMS IN 1846.THIS CASTLE OF ART & CULTURE ,NOW EXPANDED TO 19 MUSEUMS AND 9 CENTERS FOR RESEARCH OR MUSEUMS BY THEIR OWN RIGHT,IN OUR CAPITAL CITY.
JAMES SMITHSON DIED IN ITALY ON JUNE 27,1829 BUT HIS LOVE AND LUST FOR LIFE NEVER DIED.
HE ONCE SAID :
"EVERY MAN IS A VALUABLE MEMBER OF SOCIRTY WHO...PROCURES KNOWLEDGE FOR MEN."
THIS IS HOW WE GATHER IN HIS BIG HOUSE AND ENJOY THAT KNOWLEDGE AND CULTURE HE PROCURED FOR US.

BY THE WAY,SOON WE'RE GOING TO CELEBRATE THE BIRTHDAY OF NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART(NGA),
WHO WAS BORN MARCH 17,1941

SPORT BARN:SPECIAL ISSUE OF LOS ANGELES LAKERS,THE CHMPIONS,
modified:18 April 2011
We know Phil Jackson never lost a playoff opener in his carrier,except last sunday to hornets.Still we remember NO is NOt NO.1,but lakers is(or are),We also know Lakers are going all the way to this year NBA championship to facilitate  12th ring for Phil's 10 fingers,no matter if we are busy with April,The Month of Poetry and don't have much time to follow the games.So bear with us and get set to cheer for champions.It,s a serious matter because Kobe is real hungry.Tell New Orleans to wait.Hopefully things are getting better,and time will arrive with confetti,buquet and rings.
GO LAKERS!GO PURPLE AND GOLD!
*CONTENTS:
1.LAKERS NO.1
2.USAIN BOLT

BOLTING LIGHTNING BOLT
IS HE A BOLT OUT OF BLUE OR WHAT?
LIGHTNING BOLT
NOW BOLTING
ON TRACK AND FIELD
BOLD AND BOWING
BOLD AND FAST
DANCING AND BOLD.
WE FORGOT ABOUT JESSE OWENS AND CARL LEWIS
TO TIME AND SPACE
WE SUCCUMBED BEN JOHNSON AND MARION JONES
TO CHEMIST AND PHARMACIST HANDS.
NOW USAIN LIGHTNING BOLT
RUNNING 100 METERS IN 9.58 SECONDS
200 METERS IN 19.19

(NOW 45.28 AND COUNTING BACKWARD)
AND STARS AND STONES
ON PARADE.

LAKERS NO.1
1.LAKERS ARE NUMBER 1
THEY RAN FROM MINNESOTA
THE LAND OF A THOUSAND LAKES
THEY SETTLED IN
WITH NOT SO ANGELS
OF CITY OF ANGELS
IN THE LAKERS
OF NO LAKES.

2.LAKERS ARE NUMBER 1
THEY BEAT ALL INNOCENT VISITORS
WITH MAJIC(i DON'T MEAN ORLANDO)
AND JABBAR
AND THE BRUTAL BOYS
OF PAT'S COMPANY.
THEY BEAT SOMETHING OUT
OF THE WEST( NOT JERRY)
AND THE EAST
AND THE NORTH
AND THE SOUTH
AND THE CENTRAL.
THEY BEAT SUPERMEN
AND THE POLISH BOXERS
AND THE TURK OGHLUS
AND THE FRENCHMEN
AND THE ROOKIES
AND STAN
AND JAMEERS
WHO WERE SITTING
ON THE BENCH
AT THEIR HOME COURT,
STARING STUNNED
AND DID NOT WANT TO GO HOME.
THANKS TO EVERYONE
WHO SENT HOME EARLY
LEBRON AND THE GANGS

3.LAKERS ARE NUMBER 1
I'M TELLING YOU
SO THAT'S HOW IT GOES
TO STAY THERE
FOR A YEAR
OR SO.
KOBE IS ALPHA MALE EMMM VEEE PEEE
SHAQ-LESS
HORRY-LESS
AND FOX-LESS
BUT WITH FISHER
SPANIARD PAU
AND A BUNCH OF UNKNOWN GUYS
FOR THE TIME BEING
AND POOR PHIL,THE-MOVE-OVER-RED
ON THE ZEN ZONE
WITH HIS BOW LEGGS
TO LAME DUCK WALK
AND A GOLD HAT
FOR "COACHING UNCOACHABLES"
SETTLED TO NUMBER 10
(ASTERISKED* OF COURSE
OTHER THAN BARRY'S
'CAUSE THE GUY MADE TWO MORE RINGS
WITH THE GREAT 70'S KNICKS TOO
BUT HE'S GOT NO MORE THAN EIGHT FINGERS
AND TWO THUMBS
TO WEAR HEAVY METAL HARDWARE
WITH CAMEO DIAMONDS
UNLESS IF HE USES
HIS TOES
LIKE SOME RODMAN GUY
OF THE OLE BULLS
IN THE SHADOWS OF JORDAN.
-ENOUGH OF PARENTHESES)

4.LAKERS ARE NUMBER 1
THE REST
ARE GONE FISHIN
IN UNIFORMS
OR STREET CLOTHES
ON RED CARPET
OR COBBLE STONE STREET
OR THEY MIGHT BE BUSY
PLAYING
LUCRATIVE COMMERCIALS.
SO SEE YA
IN THE AUTUMN ARENA
( AND I DON'T MEAN GILBERT ARENA.)
LONG LIVE LAKERS
EVEN WITHOUT THE rich LAKES
But lot to offer.

MOJ SEVOM/THIRD WAVE


"MOJSEVVVOM.ORG" IS STARTING HERE ON THIS SITE,TO WORK AS AN ARCHIVE FOR MOJ SEVOM/ THE THIRD WAVE OF CONTEMPORARY PERSIAN POETRY.
THEORY OF MOJ SEVOM INTRODUCED IN DONIA YE SOKHAN LITERARY JOURNAL IN 1366/1987-88 BY DR.FARAMARZ SOLEIMANI. THIS BROUGHT BACK THE FORGOTTEN DISCOURSE OF AVANT-GARDE PERSIAN POETRY THROUGH PUBLICATIONS,MEETINGS AND INTERVIEWS,AND then BECAME A PERENNIAL PART OF ART AND LITERARY DISCUSSIONS thereafter.
THE THEORY OF MOJ SEVOM HAS BEEN TAKEN TO IRANIAN DIASPORA LATER ON THE SAME DECADE ,AND PRESENTED IN U.S CITIES,CANADA AND EUROPE BY MEANS OF MEDIA,SPEECH AND DIALOGUES ,ESPECALLY OF INTEREST FOR PERSIAN COMMUNITies AND GATHERINGS.
WE WILL TRY TO COLLECT LITERATURE ON MOJ SEVOM AND MAKE THEM AVAILABLE FOR COMMENTS ON THIS SITE,PARTICULARLY FOR RESEARCHERS AND HISTORIANS WHO MIGHT HAVE PREPARED THEIR WORKS WITHOUT ADEQUATE APPROACH TO DIFFERNT SOURCES.
AN OVERVIEW OF MOJ SEVOM THEORY AND OUR CONTEMPORARY POETRY,FROM HENDI SCHOOL TO PRESNT ,WILL BE POSTED SOON,WITH THE ORIGINAL ARTICLES IN DONIAYE SOKHAN ,AS WELL AS OTHER ESSAYS,INTERVIEWS AND RESEARCH.
AS AN INTRODUCTORY STEP , A TABLE OF THE CONTEMPORARY PERSIAN POETRY IS PROVIDED.THIS IS DATED FROM PRE NIMAI POETRY AND POETRY OF CONSTITUTIONAL REVOLUTION BY THE TURN OF 20TH CENTURY,AND CONTINUING THROOUGH POETRY OF 2000'S OF POST NIMAI AND NEW GENERATION ,TO THE PRESENT ERA.

FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT'S NEW FACES

WHEN LOOKING THROUGH NEW PUBLISHED BOOKS TO MEET FRANK LLOYD WRIGT,"THE GRATEST AMERICAN ARCHITECT OF ALL TIME",ONE ALWAYS WONDERS WHAT MADE HIM AND HIS WORKS SO MARVELLOUS MEMORABLE.IS IT A MASQURADE OF MASONARY OR A MASTERMIND IN WORKMANSHIP? OR JUST BEING PRAGMATIC TO EMPLOY NATURE IN CONCUBINE LIVING WITH HUMAN?
WRIGHT'S b-d IS TODAY,JUNE 8 IN 1867,IN RICHLAND,WISCONSIN.HE DIED APRIL 9,1959 IN PHOENIX , ARIZONA AND LEFT BEHIND ORGANIC ARCHITECTURE WITH INCORPORATING NATURE AND THE ART OF HABITAT,ESPECIALLY IN FALLING WATER OF MILL RUN,PA.NEAR PITTSBURGH .THIS IS WHERE NATURE CONCIEVES A VAGABOND SPRING HOUSE OR VICE VERSA.
HE PIONEERED PRAIRIE SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE AND CONCEPTS SUCH AS UNISONIAN HOME.DIFFERENT PROJECTS OF TALIESIN IN SPRING GREEN,WISCONSIN AND TALIESIN WEST,IN SCOTTSDALE,ARIZONA ,MADE UNDER THE NAME OF A POET AND MAGICIAN OF WELSH MYTHOLOGY ARE EXAMPLES OF PRAIRIE ARCHITECTURE,REPEATED BY HIM AND HIS STUDENTS WITH ONE EXAMPLE IN MEHR SHAHR KARAJ,IRAN : KAKH MORVARID/RUBI PALACE) OR KAKH E ASHRAF?
ONE OF WRGHT'S GEMS LOOKS LIKE A REAL RING-RING OF SOLOMON-IN SOLOMON GUGENHEIM MUSEUM ,IS BUILT IN FIFTH AVENUE OF MANHATTAN ,NEW YORK.AND THE OTHER ONE IN WASHINGTON AND VIRGINIA AREA AT FAIRFAX COUNTY IS POPE LEIGHEY HOUSE,THIS ONE OPEN TO PUBLIC.
FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT:FROM WITHIN OUTWARD,FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT: THE HEROIC YEARS,1920-1932 AND FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT : AMERICAN MASTER ,TOGETHER WITH T.C.BOYLE'S THE WOMEN ARE TRYING TO ANSWER WHO THE REAL F.L.W WAS AND THIS COULD BE A PRODUCTIVE WAY TO KNOW WHY NOWADAYS HIS INFLUNCE COULD BE SEEN IN EVERY CORNERS ,AND A GOOD REMINDER TOCELEBRATE HIS b-d.
BY THE WAY THIS YEAR IS FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT'DEATH AND WITH ALL THESE IT COULD BE A GOOD OCCASION TO VISIT HIM IN ONE OF HIS 500 COMPLETED PLANS AND PROJECTS AROUND THE COUNTRY.
FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT WAS A GENTELMAN,WITH ACCOLADE,WHO DESIGNED AND BUILT GENTELMAN HOUSES FOR LOVERS OF ARTS AND ARCHITECTURE.

SOCRATES,A PARADIGM

SOCRATES WAS HAFEZ OF ATHENS.THE FATHER OF PHILOSOPHY LIKE OUR FATHER OF POETRY AND LIBERTINISM WAS A MASTER OF " NOT..BUT ",AND I MEAN : NOT WISE BUT OTHERWISE SAGE.THAT MIGHT BE THE REASON HE WAS COMPARED TO RELIGIOUS FOUNDER FIGURE SUCH AS BUDDHA OR JESUS CHRIST,and larger than life
VERY INTERESTINGLY SOMEONE ELSE,CALLED PLATO,WROTE SOCRATES BIO AND STILL CALLED IT :AUTOBIOGRAPHY..Lyers!But WHO CARES, AS LONG AS WE GET TO KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON IN HIS MIND.,and or in his disciple's mind.
SOCRATES LIVED BETWEEN 470 OR 469 TO 399 BC AND HIS bdWAS JUNE 4  ,ACCORDING TO WHATEVER CALLENDAR,ALTHOUGH WE KNOW IT WAS AT THE TIME OF ONE OF PERSIAN-GREEK WAR IN PLATEA ,TO SUCCESSFULLY REDUCE CIVILIZATIONS TO the level of ASHES and dust,AND LET THE SPECTATORS ENJOY it.HE INFLUNCED PLATO AND OTHERS IN GRECO ROMAN SCHOOL OF THOUGHT." WITH THE EXCEPTION OF EPICUREANS, EVERY PHILOSOPHICAL SCHOOL IN ANTIQUITY,WHATEVER ITS ORIENTATION,SAW IN HIM EITHER ITS ACTUAL FOUNDER OR THE TYPE OF PERSON TO WHOM ITS ADHERENCE WERE TO ASPIRE"(STANFORD ENCYLOPEDIA OF PHILOSOPHY)

ENIGMATIC UNKNOWN SOCRATES
SPREADED WIND WITH WINGS OF CLOUDS
TO TAKE THE WORLD BACK TO MAN
TO SHOW HIM
KNOWLEDGE IS WHAT
I DO NOT HAVE KNOWLEDGE
'CAUSE
" I KNOW WHAT I KNOW NOTHING"
HE WAS IN DIALOGUE WITH DEATH
WITH LIFE WITH DEATH AGAIN.
LIFE IS VIRTUE OF SELF DEVELOPMENT
NOT FOR WEALTH
BUT FOR HEALTHY POPULACE(wellth?)
A MAN OF REASON
THE RENAISSANCE MAN.

THERE IS A CLOWN
IN CLOUDS OF CLOSET
CLOUDS LAYING EGGS
IN THE WIND
A CLOWN IS BORN.

POISON IS A VEHICLE FOR Socrates
DEATH IS MIGRATION.

-F.S.
TO ANSWER YOU WHO SOCRATES WAS,now that you got to know Kant,and liked the poem I wrote for him ,on the occasion of Earth Day.This one written ON Socrates  BIRTHDAY.

FIRST CITIZENS

ON THIS DAY OF JUNE 2ND,IN 1924,
U.S. CONGRESS RECOGNIZED ALL NATIVE AMERICANS AS U.S.CITIZENS.
I WROTE THIS PROSE POEM IN THEIR HONOR.THE FIRST CITIZENS...

BEFORE THE WHITE MAN CAME,THE REDMAN SANG.
SANG THE REDMAN OF CORN AND FIRE.
FIRE ON THE HILLS ,I RAISED TEPPEES IN PLAINS
PLAINS ARE ALL MY COUNTRY,
COUNTRY OF MEN AND WOMEN AS OUR NATION.
NATION OF REDS .
REDS DO NOT NEED TO MARRY WHITES.
THE EARTH IS MY BELOVED I MARRY TO
TO THE SUN AND THE STARS
SINCE THE REDMAN SANG
BEFORE THE WHITE MAN CAME.

STILL SOUL
I SIT WITH LUIS MELENDES.
ARE THESE REALLY STILL
OR THAT'S HOW WE LOOK LIKE
FACING THE NATURE?
AN OLD GUARD SIGNALING TO ME
NOT TO PICTURE THESE
OUTSIDE THE CITADEL.
IS SHE REALLY STILL
OR THAT'S HOW THE GUARDS OF THE WORLD
LOOK LIKE
FACING THE STILL LIFE?
SILENCE
SPEAKING
SOMEHOW
STILL.

STILL
SPEAKING IN
SILENCE.

LIFE IS STILL
GOING STILL
IN STILL LIFE.
