Dynamite the orifices. Blow me up.
Blow up

Sling these bits, ooze down walls

Bones in pile.
Not sure which tibia is mine.

O CAPTAIN! my Captain of industry!
Walt Whitman is believed to have written O Captain! My Captain about Abraham Lincoln, who would be the captain mourned in the poem.
I sent Walt an indirect message.
I identify as an abject materialist.
No place in the universe left to house peripatetic solds.
I meant, souls. Sold souls.
But, an afterlife could be a metaphor, and metaphors possess a little tinge of beauty.
A lifespan inside a timeline, a time for life in a long line, a penultimate experience.
An afterlife is hearsay, but salient.
An indirect response.
Walt, did you visit families like mine?
Back then, when I had parents.
Some I didn’t want. Walt wrote back.
Or did I write back?
O CAPTAIN! my Captain of industry!
O CAPTAIN! my Captain of industry! Henry Ford’s trip is done,
The factory had weather’d every strike. The prize Bill Gates sought was won,
The USB port is near. The ringtone I hear, the people all exulting Mark Zuckerberg,
While follow Steve Jobs eyes the steady profit, the exploitation grim and daring.
But O wallet! wallet! wallet!
O the bleeding drops of green,
Where on the board room floor my Captain lies,
Fallen broke and dead.
O Captain! my Captain of industry! the proletariat rose up and heard the bells;
Rise up – for Carnegie, Kroc, and Disney are alive – for billions the bugle trills,
For John D. Rockefeller, Sam Walton, and J.P. Morgan bouquets and ribbon’d wreaths –
for them the streets a-crowding.
For Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, and Warren Buffet they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces burning;
Here Captain! dear fathers!
The gun behind your head!
It is some dream that on the floor,
You have all fallen broke and dead.
My Captain of industry does not answer, his account should be drained and empty.
Money does not feel history, it has no empathy nor will.
The system unsafe and unsound, its voyage in time, in my time should be closed and done.
From distant trip the cargo ship comes in with object manufactured;
Exult O stores, and ring O cash registers!
But I with disappointment tread,
Walk the streets Captains made the cities pave,
Industry has not yet fallen; captains live among us the undead.
Beware, the poet!
I saw a Tweet from a poet who warned about the poets who eye billionaires for the guillotine. What about the entertainers? There are creatives, entertainers, and musicians who are RICH!!!!

Welcome to the Body!
The skyline looms and glows, much in the way you would want your skin to glow after a good day out in the sun.
A city is the embodiment of assets,
assets in their physical manifestation.
Urbanized, it’s a gluttonous body.
Oh my!
Look how big you’ve gotten!
Ripple Effect
Waves. Water in the sea or ocean comes to the shore in waves. Sound travels in waves. Light may travel in waves. Waves have a rippling motion. Actions have a ripple, as well. I decided to come closer. Coming closer, I get bigger. Approaching the shore, what is behind me? More.
Eat it all or Starve
Organs are arranged and ordered by forces, which are not endogenous to the organ’s seemingly natural operation. Western philosophy has been preoccupied with concepts of subject, mind, and consciousness, as if there is standpoint apart from the ‘outside,’ as if there is an ‘outside.’ Organ activity is prescribed. In the West, particularly in the U.S., there is an excess of food. Food is not evenly or fairly distributed, so there are people suffering from starvation. However, food itself is extremely abundant. There is so much food. People are encouraged to overeat. Hunger of the stomach, the timing of hunger, the level of hunger and what amount of caloric content is needed to achieve satiety, fullness, is not accidental, or an expression of trans-historic, biologic need. In the U.S., the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), invented a food pyramid. The food pyramid depicts types of food people should eat. Breads, cheeses, meats: are these the best, healthiest sources of sustenance? Are the portions based on studies? How did people subside in the past? In the early 20th century, farmers destroyed crops in response to low price levels. Farmers could not make enough money with the prevailing price level. If the supply drives down prices, cut back supply, drive up prices. Capitalism is grotesque in its logic, but arguing against logic is not permitted. Farmers destroyed crops, which drove up prices, and induced shortages. Hence, the U.S. government subsidizes agriculture. The message is, overeat to prevent large scale starvation that would transpire, if farmers had to deliberately destroy crops in order to maintain a living.
Realism
Irrelevance
The media is not homogeneous, nor is it, at its most basic, a binary, in the sense of opposed agencies carrying out agendas, a side vying for betterment and a side vying for oppression.
But this is not because the media elicits complaints from all around,
left and right, and from the media itself, or even due to the profit motive,
but because not everyone agrees upon the length or depth of the fissures
and do they cut deeply enough into the center of consciousness,
searing into it images, the most vivid, memorable, and profound.
Can the media heed freedom’s call
and tear down the walls of mediation,
which are the tools, modes, and outlets
that collude to perpetuate separation?
an expert says communication is a hallmark of the species,
albeit not unique to the species,
but asks we examine how sophisticated the whole undertaking has gotten,
the technology,
the art,
the nuance of feeling…
Communication starts to come across like a fucking abject waste of time
Unity, it is timeless.
Unity, it is:
Total obliteration, just bits of athlete
strewn all over the bloody field, people literally
exploding on impact. Porn that has character
development gives me the goosebumps!

Anal sex looks easy.

This is my kind of reality!
Fuck your entitlement. There is no ‘I’ in team,
so you better get the whole package
it includes all the things
including things
you didn’t think you could want
but who knows?

“Advertising is attempted brainwashing. It appeals to emotions, the innate tendency to compare one’s self against others, coupled with a related impulse to share similar tastes as peers. Advertising stimulates a hope that existential emptiness can be filled with craving, even as actual object attainment registers as a lapse in craving, not its satisfaction or fulfillment, since craving is the goal and the purpose in of itself.” An acclaimed theorist and philosopher gave a talk at the bookstore. The talk was followed by a book signing, and for those with an exclusive pass,

Check the research. The findings are clear: Restaurants overcharge for guacamole. My administration will do the utmost. The Attorney General will crack down. Outrageous gouging will end. There will be guacamole, there will be! You can take that to the bank!

Who wouldn’t accept ad revenue if that meant an end of this struggle?
and get a fresh start
and be free of debt
and have a home to call one’s own?
