“Enter
the ghost,
exit the ghost,
re-
enter the
ghost.” Hamlet resembles
an
axiom, more
precisely an axiom
concerning
axiomatics. Sybillant

Ooo-
eee-ooo.
I have seen

I
saw a
mighty messiah or
satan

one
of making

While
the lily

delight, all
was as empty
as

was as empty
as
the narrow
chinks of his
cavern.
It gives
that same grunty
body
feeling. “ALL
THINGS ARE INTENDED
FOR
OTHER PURPOSES
THAN THOSE FOR
WHICH
WE USE
THEM.” “We breathe and
we
fill up
with air and
that’s
like a
commitment only no
it’s
not, because
we exhale right
away,”
an ailment
not to be
treated
except with
anagrammatic homeopathies sibilant
whispers
which cure
our injured declarations
of
love by
transmuting a language
that
otherwise falsifies
us into wholeness
and
pretends to
fix us. Hyperglossia
is
the critical
form disruption takes
to
interrupt the
regime. I was
pre-
Pandoran once,
clear & amok,
scarlet free where scarcely
orange or purple.
It is vital to remember that theory chases after the substantiated self. Theory relies on vicarious molecular charge from living tissue.
Input

networks with zeros

paradigms infiltrate and
totalize
ecologies which
makes for one
compressed
top-down
world saturated of

in the
process of poisoning
both
internally and
externally, razing to
the
point of
no return, gutting. …
If

Joel, do the
spongemonkeys
have to
watch us get

on again?
Do they have
to
ogle our
supersonic polysemic flambé?
In any event, it seems safe to say that the autonomic nervous system hasn’t befitted us since the forming of the new rind of neocortex. She came from the mountains, killing zombies at will. Some people cried, “But that was cool!” and I could only whisper “we should NOT be killing zombies!” . . . Hate and love — if those are the options

The cloud

When I speak

Exposure / Stripped to

where all

A

In Case of a Semiotic Emergency:
1) See well enough to read so that you
can register signals given by textual
particulars ie the syntagms,
textemes, orthography, paginal
markings, as well as the framed
spaces between. Remember to also
look outside the text (if there is
anything outside of text), for such
dangers such as smoke, fire or
water which would make
the text “unusable”. If necessary,
you can wear glasses or contact
lenses.
2) Hear well enough to understand the
secrets of the text. You can use a
hearing aid, though it may not help.
3) Speak well enough to give
information to the text itself, in fact
to all the graphematic clusters
during a semiotic emergency.
4) Be able to use both hands, both
arms and both legs as well as be
strong and flexible enough to
quickly open the text and go out
through it. Be able to embrace the
obstructions, intrusions.
5) Be willing to help other readers
towards higher planes, plateaus of
meaning.
6) You can be of any age, race,
gender, of any socio-economic
background. It is recommended
however, that this productivity will
be most effective to those who
acknowledge themselves as an
aporitic intersubjective agency of
calculation, negotiation and
interrogation, a decentered
sensorium that inherently questions
the cultural logic of late capitalism.
7) Be with no one that requires your
care so you can directly and
intimately merge with the letters,
their physical and material forces;
feel them in your mouth and on your
tongue, down your throat and in
your blood.

A critique is
not
a matter
of saying that
things
are not
right as they
are.
It is
a matter of
pointing
out on
what kind of
assumptions,
what kind
of familiar, unchallenged,
unconsidered
modes of
thought the practices
that
we accept
rest … Criticism is
a
matter of
flushing out that
thought
and trying
to change it:
to
show that
things are not
as
self-evident
as one believed,
to
see that
what is accepted
as
self-evident
will no longer
be
accepted as
such. Meanwhile, it
would
be absurd
to try to
decide
whether we
are living through
a
long parenthesis
or whether History
crawls out of itself anew over a succession of nights spent working on it.

They tap into our personal time, the time yre not doing anything, that special disconnected to immediacy time.

If one saves a butterfly, has one saved the world?
Rabbi says: If one saves one butterfly, even with long wings,
one butterfly that has fallen into water, it may be said
“He has saved the whole world.”

now? Are
