There is no tree separately from the earth, the earth separately from the sky, the sky separately from the cosmos, space separately from man.

This is the vision of man of the universe. In the same year, Kedrov wrote the poem “Computer of Love”, which, as S. Jimbinov notes, “can be considered as an artistic manifesto of metametaphorism, that is, a condensed, total metaphor, compared with which an ordinary metaphor should look partial and timid.” A year later, Kedrov made a new manifest, proclaiming the creation of the DOOS group Voluntary Society for the Protection of Dragonfly.
