La Sale Époque
and where shall we store the distortion?
those who believe that error causes more suffering than the effort to avoid error
those who worry that all will be lost when all has been lost
those who think too thoughtlessly
those obsessive about unexamining their lives
those who insist upon the irrelevance of the frivolous
time travel's kinky genealogical ouroboros
a knock-some-sense-into-you stick
defining and delimiting the insidious situation
the thinkers-of-the-thoughts fade...the thoughts ascend
the stench of difference on the other
those who are not satisfied with how everything has turned out
the divergent ways we incorporate the incorporeal into our ideas of real
the pipes in our homes clepsydras
autobiopoetics (as if there were any other kind)
the beauty of awkward language, of sound complicated by more than intent
the greater spell that banishes magical thinking
the ironic pleasure of meeting a fellow misanthrope
as it becomes evident that the zeroes of digital data are far more significant than the ones
conflict doesn't always imply right and wrong
lumbering endomorphs alluding to epiphenomenal crises
we need to reevaluate the once-rare
the anonymurder of the habitual predator
a pair and their partially-picked-over picnic
adjacent to the Tomb of the Unlamented Soldier
impressions of prison and the relevant provisionings
novelty addicts and the liminorgasmic
the seminal chronicle of semen apocrypha
gatekeeping the forms in which you will receive love
a disgusting dusting of distrust
the bias that favors active participation over passive consumption
choices we make without choosing to make them
a visionary, or revisionary, topography
the illusion of comfort from the impression of competence
that feeling of insecurity that comes from not being where you should be
the worst iteration remains repetition
those who confuse tolerance with appeasement
condemned for objectifying various objects
unconfined by anyone’s comprehension
the inferiority complexes of those who invented the gods
there is no patent on perception, on representation
