‘How
else is was still asleep as standing’? In the middle of the cups? A reference
in ‘A Serious of Photographs’ to a ‘designer / carrier bag’ which becomes
‘later a bank mask & sex aid’, and then ‘later still a shield against
nuclear sunburn’, reminds us that ‘We are prompted by the [still-ongoing]
millennial twitch, the apocalypse packaged as a war game loop, to steel
ourselves in search of some depiction of our heartbeat caribou and midriff
clavichord. And she gets all of these red tarantula and burlesque and exertion
organ-grinders and she brings all of this stutter and duodenums it on us.’ I
mean, there is the vinegar of the left hand, and the vinegar of the right hand,
which are incommensurable with the political right and left. I’m practically
smelling marriageable, not-guilty, dyed a la carte live al fresco on a sea of
Skittles, transplanted away from, now I am your waitress now, love lovely
weather permitting. This is the sixth mass extinction. The message is blunt: if
it’s on TV, and you disrupt it, the state can deprive you of your liberty for
as long as it likes. Which was better –

1, or
Avatar 2? Uncle Sam: The
first one. I’m more a Court TV fan, than movies. I love
Judge Judy. Statue of Liberty:
Avatar 2 was much better, where
they go from the dream into the dream into the dream. The guy from
Titanic is good, I always like him. It
was a little slow. At least in
Titanic,
the ship sunk. [Singing] I come from the land of ice and snow, where the grass
is something, and a full moon beloooow. Profit on something that died and a
shitload of votes (an entire drive) that you do not hear the smoke of. And you’re
sitting there in his pretty broken wig and a lithium sweater with a big bat and
thinking: (Pulls his beard) There was a time I would have lost my heart to a
face like yours. [Suddenly the son grabs the knife from the soldier holding him
and stabs young man in the stomach, she pulls out the knife without a drop of
blood] In the center of the dream, a giant voudou botanica. My friend and I
entered through a room of cheap plastic necklaces. You could choose between
hundreds of chintzy floating necklaces, I mean islands of goddesses. See,
they were all goddesses. To amplify the comparatively low-frequency parts of
the vocalisations, he over-inflated what is known at the vestibular sac in his
blowhole – which normally acts to stop water entering the lungs. And maybe
that‘s something that cuts through or at least serves as a counterpoint to the
stagnating slime. ― Like we should divorce Pakistan? ―
Enjoy the present, as Ficino says in
Avoid Activity‘s epigraph. And maybe it‘s a little bit like
Stevens‘s quirked-out copacetic aesthetic? ―
The dump is full / Of images. In the blossom of the brain, in so
far as I am people, in terms of my churlishness in the context of a lowering
sky of lifestyle, being a person moreover, being a person takeover, in
identifying people (and whales are people) it helps to consider a person a salty
brick. So venture cannibalism buys a modest truck. All of which argon acts like
diatoms allowing mittens to fly in the wind. It’s Monday, uniquely one of the
days we live. The truck stops here and the turnips resume their gravity. Have you ever seen one of
Miroslav Tichy’s homemade cameras? … cardboard, bottle caps and rubber bands.

Dec25 I do not think I’ve read something like this in the past. It is inenlligtet, which means that I have learned something new today. I’m going to read some of your other posts to find out if they all have the same standards applied to them!
