Gates
The rich are behind their gates.
The poor are clamoring in the streets.
Mocking bird singing before sunrise.
Hawk circling in the warm blue air.
Brown squirrel tail shaking.

Notes: pregame on the radio...interviewers all a twitter over Ohtani's ankle...I was at game, in my 500s perch, keeping score, and Ohtani was due up, his third at bat, after HR, GO...GO, ground out, was a broken bat, again...reached first base awkward...brb...watched clip...really destroyed the bat!...tried to avoid first baseman who was too straight up on the bag!...hmmph..."he kind of covered more of first base than normal"...I'd say...fans all disappointed to see Ohtani out of the game...and today too...much concern!...on the day to day list...Simmons out today too...last night was great game...all kinds of great plays...Calhoun put on a show with a diving catch and over the wall catch of home run ball...half the stadium full of noisy NY fans...Angels 3 Yankees 4...damn Yankees...fffff uuuu Yank ees...see how tonight goes...got a ticket for May 3...poncho night against the Orioles...
more iconography curios...7th note post in series...see previous...I have to keep a list of the browsing on the tablet...I can't find the site favorite save on it...last couple days I found a lot of things!...on my own, I became curious of the hand gestures in the Mayan iconography....Pakal holds his hands in a distinctive way...one up, one down...there's another statuary with this gesture...brb...oh...another disastrous early inning...Yankees get five runs at top of 1st...4 on errors...and now I cant find that statuary...my bad for not writing down web site addresses...there...found 'm...

The Hidden Maya: A New Understanding of Maya Glyphs Paperback – June 1, 1998
author took the idea of Sign Language being used in the iconography and ran with it...wish I had funds for books...a curio is that in the Old World deaf people were regarded as mentally handicapped, until, it was discovered in the New World they spoke just fine with their hands...and so signing was introduced to the Old World...there's a similarity with the maize gods gesture and one Buddha makes...and, if I remember right...brb...
There's one of the hand gestures on King Tut's throne...I used it in my poems from King Tut visit at LA Museum...hadn't thought of it as a mudra...what Buddhists call these gestures, mudras...Angels are being punished...10 nothing New York...more on this for sometime...
now, continuing with the cylinder headdresses on the Tula warriors, I noticed in close up pic, that the cylinder below the feathers is decorated with hexagon beads...these are beneath the warrior's neck too...looks like snake skin?...on the Limasu winged bulls' heads, the headdress has round circles within circles in ordered rows...the bull's headdress are a combination of the cylinder, and the stylized horns that wrap around the front, and back a bit...this is really common on Mesopotamian iconography...the horns...not always the cylinder...from Syria to Iran...from very early, to the Persians the Greeks knew...I got to looking at Elba and Mari...now, I went to a Mari exhibit years and years ago at the LA Museum...and there was a goddess statue holding a jar pouring water, and on her head doing these searches I noted the horns on her headdress...she is really old, and this headdress is on the Innana plaque too...unfortunately, the goddess with the jar is in the Aleppo Museum...what a tale of its travails surrounded by the wars!...brb...

below some of notes I keep to remember by...dogears...try to fill them out a little on where they are going!
Ruins covered redwood trees
over time, ruins get covered up, become dirt hills, 'tells'...a wonder is why redwood trees don't get 'covered up'...

Toltecs on coast
did the Toltecs invade from the coast?...at Vera Cruz?...there is an odd parallel between Chichen Itza and Tula...both have identical Temples of the Warriors...a dogear

Oh, Cozart got a hit, a home run...he's had a long hitless streak...Angels are leading MLB in attendance, I think...brb...hmmph...3rd...Dodgers first perennially...
what happens with the coast redwoods is a curio...they grow on alluvial plains...and as rains and floods bring down more mud, sediment, covering the trunk, they sprout new roots into the alluvial, sorta keep growing out of it...I think...I've tried to remember the Sierra redwoods...they too seem to grow in canyon pockets, sort of little hanging valleys...the opposite of soil washing down around them, is soil being washed away...don't recall ever seeing this...ones tipped over may have had this happen...they're hundreds of years old!...so something is happening...soil does wash, erode, away from, the Bristle Cone Pines in the White Mountains...roots growing into thin air...soil doesn't stay put in Nature...oh...the eye brows...the priests with folded hand from Mari have unibrows...and this is common throughout Mesopotamia...common in Mesoamerica?...well, there's Frida Khalo...becoming an 'icon'...her image on many things...and that I think is how iconographies get started...there's an original, and it's popular, and gets copies, often stylized...oh...was thinking on stylization...the process of figuring out what something is supposed to represent...its allusion...the Ducks Hockey team recent re-did their logo...its supposed to be a duck's foot...
I had to look it up...and the Mesoamercan iconographs are very difficult, and it must have been so too for the Mesoameircans...which seems to suggest there is some purpose to being visually obscure!...

The Shigir Sculpture, or Shigir Idol (Russian: Шигирский идол), is the oldest known wooden sculpture in the world,[1][2] made during the Mesolithic period. The wood it was carved from is approximately 11,500 years old.[3][4] It is displayed in the Sverdlovsk Regional Museum of Local Lore in Yekaterinburg, Russia.[

with closer and closer study, they keep finding stylized portraits on it...

The idol was also covered extensively with markings, some of which depicted tiny human faces. To this day, no one knows what most of the markings depict.

There is also a large series of columns, which originally supported a tremendous enclosed space, surrounding the Temples of the Warriors in both of the two sites, and in other areas. A Castillo-mimicry in Tula, Hidalgo (now ruined) of the same construction in Chichen Itza, and the fact both sites have very large ballcourts set in a similar architectural context further cement the fact that there is some connection between Chichen and Tula. These bases of comparison are undisputed. However, the exact relationship between the two sites is unknown. This connection between the two sites is significant in part because Chichen Itza and Tula were both the seats of large Mesoamerican empires. That they share such constructions is unique and startling.[citation needed] No other Toltec or Maya site has an equivalent set of buildings in a different city, and in a different culture. This distinctive trait, and the huge historical power of each of these two sides, makes this argument a tremendous one in Mesoamerican studies.

"Let me give you two examples of the brilliance of the underlying idea. In Yucatan, in Uxmal and Chichen-Itza, the same principle is followed, based on identical natural surroundings. Yucatan is flat lowland covered with an inaccessible jungle, which grows to a certain uniform defined height. In this jungle the Mayans lived in their villages whit small pieces of land cleared for cultivation, and their surrounding, background as well as roof, was the hot, damp, green jungle. No large views, no up and down movements. By introducing the platform with its level at the same height as the jungle top, these people had suddenly obtained a new dimension of life, worthy of their devotion to their gods.
... ... ...
By the introduction of the staircase arrangements and step-like buildings on the edge of the platform and keeping the central part at a lower level, the mountain top has been converted into a completely independent thing floating in the air, separated from the earth, and from up there you see actually nothing but the sky and the passing clouds—a new planet. Some of my projects from recent years are based on this architectural element, the platform. Besides its architectural force, the platform gives a good answer to today´s traffic problems. The simple thing that cars can pass underneath a surface, which is reserved for pedestrian traffic, can be developed in many ways.

an explanation of my penchant for sitting in the upper deck at the stadium...that, and funds!...problem with quote, is that it is proving out that the Maya had pushed back the forest...they had open views...an even modern like urbanity...hmmph...Angels 1 Yankees 11...actually, Angels did well in the remaining innings after the outburst!...
