i am who i am
but i also know
how images shaped me,
and constructed my reality.
—
and when i meditate
i deconstruct.
and later on in
my world
i test the
language
of how I
want to be.
—
and if
that doesn’t
satisfy me, i’ll
change my mind.
—
if I was afraid of life,
i never did show it.
i only play to know it.

unapologetically / beautifully crude

1
language is weaponized and becomes propaganda
targeted at the public, who cannot read images.

2
Communication studies the public,
identifying symbols with shared meaning.

3
_
Top-dollar images are flipped

4
and projected back onto the public
with visions of liberation
with family values
with price tags

5
–
Communications represents the public

in an abstract, commodifiable form,
for the men in power.

6
designing symbols to guide
our coercive corporate state.

brand nationalism is for the common,
wisdom is incoherent and unstylish

you’re not a friend,

you’re a follower.

who’s selling liberation?

brands
/& religions

where?

design is everywhere

how much $$ tho?

time++

gifs are gods gifts

there’s no mad here…       only myth

Bedlam monsters returning from the dark,
AS dark and nomadic and mystical as
an Eric Satie score
an Edward Gorey drawing
an Edgar Allen Poe poem
in my mind

“out of space, out of time”

here i am with the plum wine
watching the sun i havent seen in a long time
hearing the children in the park next door
watching the cat play
feeling the piano
loving every pink brush
stroke on this canvas view
in the drawing room
warm and with no obligations
other than to myself

news is the poetry of power

admitting it’s ok not to know———knowing is banal———emotional manipulation helps us get what we want———a need fulfilled———a selfless community has technology?———has a critical mass?———the mass moves currency across the dance floor———politicians in the dark———material people with immaterial convictions———pushing each other around the world
