There must be a name for this launguage we use, to confuse and bambozzel. Labrynthean foley forged out of iron. Controlled chaos in a carpenters cup. Mis Caos T. Killgrow, the spawn of the first star that fell on a new born world. He looked apon it and said "Fuck it, let it burn. And he tried hard to set it ablaze, but he was just one. If only he were bigger. If only he had arms that could wrap de mundi. Wrap it and crush it and pull it apart. Wrap it and crush it and set it on fire. Wipe it from the fabric. So tragic the billion bugs. So useless. Hopeless? No never that, always a savior, always a leader. Always the dead. Always the life. Always the thoughts. Damn them, the monstrousity. Manipulated like clay. In tune like a play. Every actor hits his mark and exits. The eternal flame. The boundless ocean of desires, the wires. The arms made up of minds? "Your crazy!" "No I am not." "Yes you are.
The news is all a lie. But not just to mislead us. But to mislead people who can pick us up on the satelites. Interperting dissent in a politically ravaged country on the brink of civilwar. War on multifronts, multiple layers. A basketball cake with strawberries and chocolate, whipcream and candies. The ends justify the means. I can read their minds. They don't think they are doing bad. And maybe they aren't. What?
The mad laugh sneaks in and chokes on a cigarette.
Oh this secret language is truely the "Langauge of Birds," A green lion and a firebird embraced above the earth. The vaporizing is done. Perfect metal of the purest standard.
That CHICKEN??? Oh God I fell in love with that bird. She slept atop a painting in my bedroom. Had to shut the cat out. Then when I thought she was OK and was gonna set her free she flew again into the window that was shut. Soooo...back to my bed wrapped warm. Later I put her on the window flower box and she looked at me awhile then flew into a tree. Amazing chicken... hahah!
No wonder you are ecstatic... you always discover the most amazing things! And create the most spectacular!!! My opening is tonight and I finally have this foto back from a gallery in Berlin, 1 meter x 1 meter, and it is hanging in the show! XXXXXX´s galore+
