In The House of the Hangman 801

Archangels, goats, and several cups of tea into New Year's morning -- just little bits of magic and aggression, processed in the form of a “post.” Would you like a cup of free-range civet poo? Here I think it’s crucially important to remember that with the possible exception of Deleuze the philosophers of difference and the post-structuralists were not addressing a set of metaphysical issues, but were responding to a set of social and political problems like the Shoah, mad nationalism, the Algerian revolution and Second World War. I wrote a sentence here then deleted it then wrote an explanation about the deletion and then deleted it, too. I have indeed left out many grotesque and superfluous details. I have a papercut on the back of my left hand from who knows what last night and it’s painful. 1.1 light coming into sky above still black / / plane of ridge, motion of pine branches / / in foreground, wave sounding in channel. Nationwide Shortage of Ritalin and Adderall. Montana To Use Unmanned Drones Against Wolves. Empire so often come to this: “potholes imitating frozen potholes.” There’s a totally different way to do this and we know it. “A thousand needlesful of green & blue thread.” So I’m in the frozen food aisle at Jewel, trying to find the right veggie burger, and I realize “Blitzkrieg Pop” is playing on the store’s P.A. Thirty years later: the Ramones as Muzak? You can be trying to connect the experience of being lost with something external or physical, but we are really connecting what is experienced with what is experienced. Rain for rent. Sometimes you tote enormous bags where reality is squashed by its contents; majesty for whoever falls from the clay to the universe; I have been crystalline for far too long. Yes, he’s different, all kids are different, him just a little bit more – oh, he’s knocked down the applesauce pyramid? So sorry, here, my sleeves conceal napkins for messes like this. Then they kicked all the people out of housing. The Lovers find the Eyeball on the spiderweb. Once again I felt the swarming sensation of which I have spoken. It seemed to me that the humid garden that surrounded the house was infinitely saturated with invisible persons. Are you comfortable? After you, auto-history kicks in. There is grandeur in this view of life, quoth Charles Darwin. Because I had to pee I missed an impressive takedown. Everybody dance now.
