Inspired by a line in a Gregroy Corso poem have found/practised:

Standing on a street corner waiting for no one is power--

(then wondering if have it wrong and it is power is standing on the street corner waiting for no one)

either way

to stand there, with no waiting--for anything--

just to stand--in the air--in world of things moving by--

"the world as we see it is passing" 

say for example one thinks of the line in terms of Lou Reed"s

"i'm waitin for my man/standing on the corner/26 dollars in my hand"

to wait for anybody anything--is to owe not just money but power--to someone, something else--

to turn it upside down --by waiting for no one--for nothing--

and just be--in ongoing flow--seeing--anything--that is there--and is moving on--

>I just came across an action poem Filliou presented in 1965 called �Le Filliou Ideal�, which in his book he describes as the �secret of Absolute Permanent Creation�. The score of the poem reads:

>SITTING QUIETLY
>DOING NOTHING
