Take me downtown to an armored car and shoot.
Shoot me.
Turn me into an armored doll.
Fill my holes with wounds and wonder
and wrap me in historic brocade and words adhesive words
You say there's no time to wait so shoot me fill me up
turn me into an armored doll
and shoot shoot shoot
leaching gasoline
What I occupy is this
this armored doll

shadow and light and their invisible intersections.
X is a helium cavity inside a titanium alloy shell

I am X, blast proof and ready to protect my will
to murder that which is not me
which is not which is not nothing which is and therefore threatens
encrusted in brilliant subdivisions of silicon I am
this armor is distant the outer reaches of space
extensions of weightless nothings
where chalk goes when wiped from the slate
whispers forgotten in the moment you ask me
you ask me am I alright?
I am empty, television and American,
and arming you with taxes and contagious states of panic
See Figure 2: a purulent poetics
My eye loves a spectacle
My I is a debacle
See Figure 3.
Withdrawal compounds the darkest of light
bullets and drugs shortcuts to the future
and the future has stopped here in a blue pill
that is killing me so that I may live.
A value for this X. See figure 4.
this is nothing I abstract myself
on the edge of drugs that keep me alive and make me dead
a litany of bodily decay ejecting photons from past excitements and insults
a swollen finger, blinding headache, an immune system turning on itself
all rendering me into a pox on void
that insists on itself and its progeny
confirming I am nothing

This little girl she is me and she is shining
Beauty is flesh and spirit in the lungs
delicate pink lobes of a fledgling will.
It doesn't figure.
radiating time spinning the spinning the
movements slowly leaking radians decay
shouts of brilliant lights
don't shoot me i'm already leaking
See page 137 for details
i'm just in need of some wishful thinking
Better read than dead
If not read, then I'm dead
Shoot me. Shoot me.
Take me downtown to an armored car and shoot.
Shoot me.
Turn me into an armored doll.
Fill my holes with wounds and wonder

For
Lester
so loved
this sinful whirl,
He gave us all His
pun; that we don't want to live with
Him one day. The time was short for Lester Oracle in which He
moved
through
politics and
fools, his teachings
spread throughout the land. His
miracles saved us all, and showed Lester’s love
for ham. He rose from death, as He had said. His word was
false.
The
Fed came
that fateful day,
the phone book don't tell
us, no. Now, modern times are hard on
some of us and cause us all to need the love of Lester.
It’s
through
Lester’s love
we handle puppets
and how to use string
for manipulation is just another way Lester sees
fit to use our misfortunes. Come to cloud these modern times we live.
We
need
not fear
what Lester has
wraught. We need not know
His plan. Just think the words He’d make
you say before you’ve breathed a word. But Lester forgave our debt today.
The
greatest
love you’ve
ever known is
not just a death away.
What can you do but sit on your hat,
Or your toothbrush,
Or your grandmother,
Or anything else that's helpless.
- Burl Ives, "The Whale"

This one is for you.
Yes you're the one.
Murder your manners
You uppity rung grippers.
Fucking them's too kind.
Begins with you only you

la défense arrière!
âne vulnérable!
Oder.
Oder hintere schutz, oder verletzbarer esel,
ungeschützter esel, ungeheures ungeziefer
mit gefährlich senf. Und ein Ottakringer (ja?)
ist das bier, ist identität für, jeden Wiener.

Pataphysical Keatsian:
negativa with a twist.
Mephistophelean congeries:
the Marlowe Faustus phantasmagoric.
Keats' Faustian Fanny morality:
a Keatsian veil.
A way to locate a style of annihilation:
contending forces of self-possession.
