Theater of Utter Charm - Part 31

Mistress Lana thinks she is my Central Committee guru sends her greetings to the downtrodden masses she's downtrod a bit of real estate in her day ground under her boot heel investment swindlers and barbershop quartets at the kaleidoscope factory perforated by her errant profundities we are all struggling to not miscalculate pull push take your pick now there's a predicament for all you blast bunker capitalists which reminds me of a story heard at a jungle campfire where the insects are noisy and busy and kept the listeners awake for weeks and months and years anyone can sleep like the damned apparently it's a default state I wonder who paid for it that's the hard part knowing who to accuse now shall I tell you the story you merely need to read this again illumination for the illuminable even the sacrosanct is open to inspection what does it mean to interpret have I lost my audience and proudly so pride being a kind of referee to a game no one understands a discussion of the attributes of style is next let's call it “poetry immanent” to distinguish it from all the other kinds that are incantations of templates and patterns rather than changing through the channels yes puzzle solving will upset everything it's an app that comes bundled with discomfort the pixels will dictate the shape of your next breath while skipping down the Delphi path existence plays a game with us a game with us a game with us existence plays a game with us and we just play along
