As the last space probes crash into the Moon’s surface, I see an eye drop fall and hit my eye. The moon is full of disappointments expressed in scrap. Some of the eye drops fall outside the eyeball and I need to correct the orbit. Then I blink to diffuse the liquid, take an upright position, and lean out of the window. It’s night and it looks like the Moon is near me. Years ago I used to enjoy looking at it with my home telescope, but I’m tired of its dreary, desolate craters. I live in a street with little traffic. Sometimes I turn on the doorbell camera and watch what’s going on inside. Every now and then a passerby passes by. A black and white, mysterious, opaque, irreducible pedestrian.
Observation. Voyeurism. Appearance. Scope driver. Looking at oranges gives pleasure. Looking through a jewelry store window is just as pleasurable as looking at a fruit stand or a rainbow. Food begins to be digested not in the mouth, but in the eyes. Television was invented to provide an enormous amount of observable objects. I want to say that the ceramic in the kitchen is beautiful, very artistic, nice to look at in the belly but moves very little or not at all unless you’re moving it. The painting Las Meninas is great, but the caretaker of the Velázquez room in the Prado Museum has finished Las Meninas to the top. The first thing he does when he gets home is turn on the television so that the images pass before his eyes, not the eyes before the images.
Television is like pornography in the constant in and out of dance colors. Often we are not interested in thematic content, but only in the movement of forms, because movement brings pleasure to the retina. I’m thinking about all this because I use eye drops that keep the vitreous humor in shape. When the vitreous humor is disrupted, floaters appear that strike the eyeball like probes against the Moon. A drop of ink spilled over a sentence on the page. The two twins threw themselves from the sixth floor to the bottom of an inner courtyard in Oviedo a few days ago. Notice that the eye drops fall and hit, etc.
