my relationship with my phone isssssssssssssss

pet unsocial thirst

dear renter, unsocial pet
let me read your surfaces
i am too the womxn in yous
us, institutions of 1
affluent fetish onscreen
thanking repeat movie-goers
from unimaginable distance
look at us, icons,
postacademic, desiring pets
caught touching our phone
’til won digital death
the hottest image of ever
dear user, curated mirror
what is your instagram?
i am too the actor in yous

+

the feeling of displacement

*

then the mode of
recontextualization

–

the feeling of discomfort

=

philosophical moments
that stay with you

•

the concept of money

^

distance creates
perspective

PROJECTION OF THE VULNERABLE
can actors love? is this video
of you the preferred
medic of my time ≥≤

PRODUCTION of the VULNERABLE
a day off from being hardened
your laugh echoes off my camera
our script was unmachinic

PRotection of the vulnerabLE
imagining you, a content less animal
can we actors meet? without
schedule or ritual of greeting

what else is there to do
writing each others names
and not speaking
