Down in the dank cave with blood in my mouth I gave myself a haircut and licked the floor clean of the clippings. I ate up the floor then munched on finger-long steel nails I picked out of my feet and even chewed on my own heart. Dug a burrow with my mouth that I … Continue reading The Omnivorous Diet | a diet

7 Rules of Etiquette for a Masked Ball | after Bob Dylan, after a fashion
Do not discuss your vulnerability or your illness. If someone does, note their stature in the masquerade. If it is high, make a show of compassion or strength. If it is low, do nothing.

If you have to decline, accept with enthusiasm … Continue reading 7 Rules of Etiquette for a Masked Ball | after Bob Dylan, after a fashion
Against Club Matte | a polemic
So apparently, once, a German party-goer with a complex chemical reaction unfolding in his stomach, gave up all hope of reestablishing contact with the world outside his cranium, and went fuck it, let's bend this bender to its bendiest: here's the glass of water Hans has been using as an ashtray, I'm gonna pour a … Continue reading Against Club Matte | a polemic
the flat considered as site of cthonic worship | towards a teleocapitalism of trash
It's the trash. It's always been the trash. Think about it. Every day we consume and it all goes through the flat. Food containers, old underwear, chicken bones, endless tissue paper, everything we do produces waste. Disposable income only means that you keep disposing your life through your paper, plastic, glass, organic and unrecyclable rubbish … Continue reading the flat considered as site of cthonic worship | towards a teleocapitalism of trash
Tsundoku | an admonition
The trolley wheels creak along as I bring in another batch and scan the room for shelf space. I know the bookcases will have grown new alcoves and recesses connected to the old by some mysterious yet intoxicating logic. Yesterday you had a warped stained-glass-like pattern of armfuls of books crammed into crooked rectangles and … Continue reading Tsundoku | an admonition
Raincheck | micro-play of our love lost, in the voices of Joan and Roger
[An abandoned hospital room -- frayed plastic flooring, dirty linen. The obligatory drip drip drip of the IV feed, the EKG keeping time. In the bed: I. On the TV, COVID-19 through 26 -- the news, always.] [It is now generally understood that the Earth is evil.] [Enter U.] I: Aha! The kiss of death. … Continue reading Raincheck | micro-play of our love lost, in the voices of Joan and Roger
Two Snakes | parable of a meeting with my Shadow
Face-to-face interpersonal interactions with evil twins can be pretty stressful, so if you decide to try that, you need to choose people who are only “slightly evil twins,” so to speak. A substantive encounter with a full-blown evil twin can be so toxic that it takes years to get over it. Worse, if you fail … Continue reading Two Snakes | parable of a meeting with my Shadow

What Is Love | an answer?
What is love, baby don't hurt me, and so on and so forth. Haddaway played it twice that evening. The entire set was four songs. I had been taken there by my GF, who had been taken there by her friend, who had been taken there by his friend, who drives the Metro and looks … Continue reading What Is Love | an answer?
