Joseph Ceravolo: Ocean

I paid you off.
Now I want you to steal me.

My eyes are full of cement.

Wherever I am

when everything's so fated.
"I know I couldn't sleep"

Meet me wherever I am,
because I paid off,
even though I couldn't sleep.
And frighten them away.

I couldn't sleep, but a new

wave comes every few seconds.

Yes! they end on the shore.

Joseph Ceravolo (1934-1988): Ocean, from Spring in This World of Poor Mutts (1968)

The way we see it, this country's never been in better shape. Just so long as we keep defending our freedoms and our borders and of course also the freedoms and borders of our mother country over there in the middle east, so far and yet so near, nevermind anybody who tries to tell you any of those freedoms and borders are the product of violence, theft, oppression, removal, subjugation, eradication and extermination of prior inhabitants, over a long period of time, actual centuries even, all that work, all that dedication, all that effort, you think we're about to surrender any of that now just because somebody doesn't like this low-intelligence bozo we've put in power to look out for our interests while also prioritizing his own at ever more shameless levels of outright gangsterism, after all this is America, it's a business, a business dressed up as a fake country built on massive profits for a few and generalized humiliation for everybody else, all concealed from the victims by strategic deployment of essential food additive and petroleum addictions across a broad spectrum of demographic groups. The phantasmagoria has become so powerful that we may actually now have the tools and resources to persuade the majority of the populace that they are experiencing euphoric levels of satisfaction and personal fulfillment even as they watch the real-time destruction of the very earth and sky and seas upon which the whole show is played out, even as it is being played out, and believe me, it is being played out, it has been being played out, and in truth it may well have been totally and finally played out, tapped out, used up, forever, so long ago no one could remember even if they had a mind to remember, which nobody does, even though it's memorial day.

So let's gas up and GO!

You'll hear on the news that someone put down a gunman at a Walmart, and that hero will be me. #Murica

Found out yesterday that if you have hunter safety it’s super easy to get your concealed carry license. Best believe I’ll be packin heat when I turn 21. You’ll hear on the news that someone put down a gunman at a Walmart, and that hero will be me. #Murica: tweet via Jimmy Niehaus @JimmyNiehaus, 25 May 2018

He saw, through the man's skin, his skeleton. It had been wired together, the bones connected with fine copper wire. The organs, which had withered away, were replaced by artificial components, kidney, heart, lungs -- everything was made of plastic and stainless steel, all working in unison but entirely without authentic life. The man's voice issued from a tape, through an amplifier and speaker system. Possibly at some time in the past the man had been real and alive, but that was over, and the stealthy replacement was taking place, inch by inch, progressing insidiously from one organ to the next, and the entire structure was there to deceive others. To deceive him, in fact...
