MISSION TO MARS

But what is Mars?

Mars is “a mass of incandescent gas, a gigantic nuclear furnace, where,” – no wait, that’s the Sun. At least, according to the Big Wigs. [2]

But what is Mars?

Let’s turn it into a riddle.

“Our ancestors came from there.”

But what is Mars?

“I’ll be holding a piece of it before we’re through.”

But what – wait, what?

“I’ll be holding a piece of it before we’re through.” [3]

? ? ?

So how did this all begin? It began simply enough, one simple sunny morn’ to the sound of garbage trucks which would make it a Monday first day of a new week and all.

I was simultaneously completing – two minor side projects – when Mars orbits by – down through the passage – all along the sight – of synapses the fire – in the glory of night. [4]

But what is Mars?

“Some say it’s Arizona, like the Moon.”

We don’t have to beat-around-the-bush, we can acknowledge it – I know very little about Mars. But rest assured, I’ll do my best to enliven both of us.

But what is Mars?

1. A planet in our solar system.
2. The Roman God of War.
3. A chocolate bar.

(Father, Son & The Holy Ghost)

not one alone

not two a couple

but three in one together

and speaking of three in one together –

HOW TO SQUARE THE CIRCLE???

I CIRCLED THE SQUARE!!! [5]

But what is Mars?

Maybe we should start to find out. Yes, let’s do that.

NOW!

Mars is a spiritual quest being undertaken by our species on Earth & later today, I am going home. I will hold a piece of myself in my hands today. In thinking of you we will be there together – better than three with me & my mind and you & yours, no – together we will be there in thinking three. [6]

But what is Mars?

Mars is the Murdoch Alternative Reality Society. Mars is everyday for the rest of your life. Mars is wearing glasses and reading fantasy (ha-ha). Mars is Total Recall. Mars is everywhere you want to be, baby!

But what is –

Yes, yes, “But what is Mars?” Everything else I write is some multi-faceted do-dad & this must be one dimension of the 4th? (Whoa man! … … … Whoa! One dimension of the 4th is worth three in the bag).

But what is Mars? [7]

According to data from the Mars Path Finder (???) I wouldn’t know because I haven’t read it – which may or may not be a crime (I’ve got legal representatives looking into it). What I have got is the clearest picture of the Mars Face ever taken!!! So seriously synchronous to modern understanding I’ve concealed it under the sealed piece of paper attached here below
(OPEN AT OWN ENLIGHTENMENT!!!)





For No Reason other than I have his books, here’s what the Nobel winning scientist, R.P. Feynman said of Mars –

“Kepler’s greatest struggle was his “war on Mars” [8] –

– nuff said. [9]

But what is Mars?

I can tell you this – its inhabitants are harshly portrayed in everything from War Of The Worlds to Mars Attacks! [10] The only friendly aliens are those so far away we cannot conceive of them as a threat.[11]

But what is Mars?

“We’ll see what my dreams have to say.”

According to my dream Mars is – three Captain Cook round 50’s, Joe & Kerry together, Nerelle & Tony not. (Tell it to the dream).

[1] There is the other Flory, known as Other Flori, these are the recordings of his Mars explorations.

[2] Indeed, They Might Be Giants.

[3] Yes, for you see, the holding of a piece of Mars (apart from being a clue to the riddle) is a lot like the eating of an orange. And I’m told, the secret to a good marriage. So I’m really looking forward to it!

[4] Homage to Goethe, a fellow Marstonian. “A landscape of dancers, Extending before us, All in the open, Free as the air. Some of them climbing Over the peaks, Some of them swimming Over the lakes, Or floating in space – All towards existence, All towards the distance, Of stars that will love them, The blessing of grace.” Faust.

[5] Well, in the 4th Dimension – it’s more than you did! Or anyone else anywhere at anytime – perhaps I really am – God’s chosen one.

[6] You know, I am God’s chosen one & you’re, well, not. Therefore, all things are Funny to me & Just, whereas to you they’re just, well, not.

[7] William Burroughs informs me that the only thing not pre-recorded in a pre-recorded universe, is the pre-recording itself. Now where the hell would that be? Hang on a mo’ – I’ll take a look under the bed – … … … nope. Luckily, it’s all in my head. I have decoded The Matrix through Buddha hood. It wasn’t that hard.

[8] Feynman’s Lost Lecture – ‘The Motion Of The Planets Around The Sun.’

[9] No! One more thing. In honour of R.P. Feynman – it must be said, I think he’d pooh-pooh my Mars Face photo, at least without examining the negative.

[10] Although, given they’re us, it’s probably a perfectly adequate portrayal.

[11] It is not a lie to say, for The Record, I’ve never met an unfriendly alien.
