let me introduce you to a place, nowhere in particular and nobody knows
where the light comes from.
this is the interim: not here not now, just a pale concept of what is
& I can't understand it either.
i can't remember what s/he was called s/he might have been a dog a lover
who cares because time prepares us to accept everything.
out along the fluorescent lights i found what i was looking for and i
abandoned some preformed arguments, left some disorder behind and readjusted
my understanding of *you*.
in a physical life there's always the body at hand - even if you're silent
i can still see you. if you're silent here u simply disappear.
more things to be included:
images like when you looked up to them with your pale face:
she looks puzzled into her image mirrored on the screen, pixels made
flesh...
i think it's ok that people (who just can't let the future go) become
somewhat twisted, moulded like myself.
i just hang around and she feels slow, too.
the security cameras are always on, and the only response possible is
way too complex: the efficiency of surveillance and control, it might
work well for them....
the details are obvious: someone hides in the shadows and mumbles: remember
the broken surreal imagery and then the room turns cold.
the replacement of visions does not offer escape from a culture which
threatens to absorb the space where it takes place. their dreams crumple
with them.
so much comes comfortably if you like the smoggy haze of hate, if you
don't acknowledge but supercede the bricks which make your past .
see this figure abandoned, shining, with an obsessive attention to detail,
quite a challenge for a slow target with and u see that the interaction
of humans remains substantially chaotic: cubes of fear, cubes around
someone who's suffering, a cube remains and makes your past.
it is as if the place had been turned inside out to die.
a situation, when people are marching to the unknown places,
with cold faces and bodies,
and tomorrow, there will be people who walk without knowing who i am or
where i go to, where i belong.
tomorrow i'll be somewhere else with a new identity, once again, scene
over.
i'm convinced i still have credit, sort of environ-mental/synthetic emphasis.
not one soul around i wait and try to explain, then try again;
this issue nagging me i go fucking mental and find it and go into more
details concerning digital dysfunction.
previously my tour through the realm of the mechanics of signs and their
subsequent reasessment
(details of public perception), seemed to reflect a wild chemistry.
theoretical dynamite i hear myself say,
credit on an account that has been lying in principle, plenty of these
things happen here.
these are testing times for the post-PC phenomenon and it has given us
some strange images creating an amazing new world.
there was, in front of me, a shift, a reform through confrontation,
the appropriate authorities prepared the most visible crackdown within
a wave of independent thoughts.
taking one after another until they subside to the same thing again.
i was thinking about the grainy black and white screens and i felt it
was to be in my head forever.
you show me that just one wiping demand buys the seeds.
and i see a similar glance from a little character who grudgingly acknowledges
the small mistakes which draw us in like quicksand sucking softly on your
legs...
this is what i had lost and what remains i thought and realised her real
white sheets.
a face guard (occasionally measuring out raw characters) advanced another
foot and she hacks her through details, changing the bits sticking out
with some chunks missing.
somewhere else: places at the fore front there in a state of decay with
fragments oozing out of a fictional world.
too often everyday is a potential void, distilled, the cause of it all.
anxiety: a kiss from within without substance.
i hope you can maintain this image:
the inverse mirroring as sticky as boiling grease when i go along the
fluorescent lights. see it through and let me know: i wasn't sure if what
i came across was real and whether it will be the same when i have left.
start honing your territory, then develop lightweight and lukewarm functional
demands of traditional bliss.
we seem to abandon our own past yet we often record a deja-vu, momentarily
destracted by earlier impressions.
and then the recorded light of the sun becomes reality.
finishing off the previous week, i stop in time at the window and peer
down the bank armed with security gates.
we generally just block anything unwanted that makes silly ideas come
true, but in these dimly-lit corridors the outside world suddenly feels
far away.
on the concrete floor soft drink cans breach the peace, references to
the borders distinguishing private and shared.
it feels strange, there is a strong stench of smoke in this cold spot;
we have to struggle!
already, she says slowly. five minutes later it becomes clear that all
the dreams and ideals, are dead.
and within this sweaty atmosphere electric flickers concern both those
inside and those on the surface, all the characters that come from different
cultures.
well, okay, didn't we discover ages ago that our government has a need
for ideology.
that is the real tragedy, what happens now triggers a desire for creating
our own truth, but the connection is too slow....
once a month i look at the frozen land that stretches out into an empty
distance from where
barely audible voices deliver nothing but a glimpse of a digitized future.
making out a sentence with a difference, shared with others, on sex:
he can hear the domestic chat, and a rating of sighs had him tapped for
a surreal moment.
i guess the amount of rare metals that had been engineered into in her
body. looking at her face i thought that i had a post-death fantasy, in
fact, there is a whole crowd these days.
ink strikes the screen and we are 80% happy, quite remarkable. slowly
counting disgruntled equipment, i seal the entrance to the world with
a pair of huge dented pillars that resemble angry words.
it only takes a glance to see how exposed we are.
this is not a safe area and the floor almost seems MorseCode, lacking
a beat. we are not on the outside yet.
three men sit and wave their books as they preach listen to the books;
we can't
read the pages thickened by moisture, merely drawing in a sense of an
imagined enemy.
very little is known: harmless enough but the uniformed personel capable
of going badly wrong...
so as a public figure that dislikes the glare of a disintegrating hell
who can blame me for looking at the flash itself when we got stuck in
this other dimension?
beauty and simplicity, the advent of cameras could make the city disappear.
somewhere near the tollhut we get a chance to capture parts of the last
century, a little corrupted
and still no way out.
i didn't chose my life for defining myself nor do i want to find one reason
for finding a picture of yourself that doesn't look natural but scary.
i get sick when i breathe in thousands of smouldering circuits, digging
through rubble falling from underneath,
overwhelmed by a meagre sound extremely silent, exposing the imperfections
ugly humans create.
The virus had spread today. Dressed-up as an M not an 0 it cloned towards
the early evening.
Whatever it is, it's a situation where we're chewing our dreams like we
did years ago, and the darkness on our characters resembles a sudden,
shredded rearrangement of earlier impressions, (then in alphabetical order).
we come to a halt: green illuminations flash through the night. by the
third week i begin to notice the more objective realities:
now they are mine which means i have to reconstruct them - not be horrified
by them.
neither of us looks back to the ruins of the old world. we don't negate
or try to forget the past.
the city is empty. misshapen and crump the horizon distorts the line
shudders flexes in a response, but time runs out and i stand still, remain
eluded, sleepy.
said same saw same called came left fed up with peoplepicturesplaces
don't say might not help her count the days far away from here give go
an other
before began same saw same said same place so take this
sat still for months in line don't fear most heads side by side just keep
life light something often cold when used on your wanting.
the scent of her sweaty skin creeps through my mind. it touches me, arouses
me without asking for it.
patience rules the never ending confrontation with human chaos. i'm stuck
here, my skin is wearing off and i couldn't identify the day.
i remember an addition to my plans, another corridor filled with information,
yet the details of the map cannot be trusted.
my feet pound the ground repeatedly, somewhere out there was a switch
and i want it and come across another intersection,
dreamed of the latest news (injected by a needle), went up the stairs
and fell. but that was a week ago. since then the power's turned off and
it's hard to get somewhere when you walk and so you try to catch an answer,
is this the word? - she just stood there.
a black river beyond the last houses runs through its concrete bed without
a purpose. i hate this river...this place is just a copy of the once
open stream cleaning the rest of a mistake. i consume and adjust huge
lists, because it's a moral high which lasts a few months and outside
the night spreads the graphic means of the city, inscriptions on doors
and displays and signs and warnings and flashlights and colourful windows
stained with an electric flicker from channel13. i'm at the center of
it, right in between the viewer's eyes on a more elaborate display, new
clusters of images, words, frames, and figures...
i'm reading a book on something i recall - foul weather. you're going
she says. a pigeonhole mood with removed contrasts - abstract, like the
scarred and marked stones of houses.
i'm here, made from pieces of wood, made up a name for her and burned
my lungs inhaling scent #7 ---
then i remember her vivid eyes. we would go mental and talk, allowing
the time,
and i realised that when i do fall i should sleep, because it feels like
surgery that runs its course.
sitting against a wall we begin to talk and find the nicest hour of the
day ...
two categories i know exactly, he says, the human brain and the heart.
and the light strikes at
some flawed parody of himself when it's getting late but it is nice to
see someone so raw. i believe this is a way to be recognised.
his melancholy all mist, drizzle, a haze in a grey shimmering state of
hate; those visions you can't stop.
somehow i went a bit too far, at least this is the way it feels like after
i surface half a year later. seasons have changed.
finally, a past coded in memories fading out in the darkness, disappearing.
