There’s a man with a cardboard house on his back I walk up to and ask where he plans to spend the night. It’s nighttime already he tells me, then raises his eyes to mine and says it’s all right; you don't want to know everything. “Living in the colony of time, we are ultimately responsible to the empire of eternity.” See Image and Iconography: deconstruction and interpretation: Omo Bob - 2008 - “Three Crows On Erased De Kooning Drawing” and “Self Portrait As Erased de Kooning Drawing”. Speaking of empire, Chris Kyle’s longest kill shot was 2,100 yards. Beauty is a verb. You speak, too, of multiple larynxes. Theirs is the possibility of bewilderment has stoned inner coherence held in escrow until the sentence restarts. Are you now happy to be able to tell stories and surround others with knotted space and endangered equilibrium? But that's only an idea that belongs to you and me and we're only an idea to the north of nothing new, today being history and all. 4:05 pm. “I held my breath so hard I ended up in the country.” Here is your I.V. drip of sphinx’s blood. Motherfucker, my stains dance. The meat rotisserie picture is a drawing of the painting that hangs in the back of El Farolito Taqueria on the corner of Mission and 24th. Our relations’ web-cam inverts their image on the screen, making them look like bats. We start laughing hysterically and they start laughing hysterically and the word "bat" in Hindi turns out to be "Chungathar." And, in Punjabi, “Gither.” Thelonious put on the wrestling mask. Whatever’d moved in made great angles. Meanwhile, three hands itch a face. So, wattage, you think, is what light’s here for? Same old heartolalia. Whatever it wins, it does not keep. But acting “on the wing” leverages. That is, it forms an antinomian position — what Agamben calls an “indiscernible point” — within a particular legal-political field. Let’s go, my little so-and so, to where real big things go bad — go home! — look, here’s a face, if you lean in close you can see congealed labor, like peanut oil inside the head. One ton of parrots, one ton of parrots’ nonsense! Come meet our friends: Wonder Woman, Iron Man, the Incredible Hulk, on the streets of Gotham City heading for the Pandemonium Club, mall people walking out from collapsing scaffolds mutating tomatoes the size of King Kong. Spaceships are landing on the flat earth theory, on a scale of 1 to Fucking Good.
