The Masters of Deception
Grandmaster Ratte, I
think of you in times of pelvic distress.
When the rashburn of 100 ct bedsheets is simply too much.
It is here, on this farm, that I can most clearly sense disease.
I see the wasps for what they are: daemonia. If I had to fuck
a bird, it'd be a condor. But I'd rather ride atop its wings.
We both know Baltimore1 is a place
built for ArtStars and pigeonshit.
I've turned to Wiccan because I am disgusted. The bare-assed
decomposition before me is simply too much. Fuck this fried
fish mish mash, I am stoic in my wandering. Sex with
Satan.
System failure is a blanket statement.

Deep between the [numbers and signs]
lies the language of the Beast once heralded.
Driving to the jazzcat's house in 110° heat. His name ends in
"-ek" like some mid-level European golfer. Day in Night City,
blight blooms in the ashes of Reagan's gleaming robot mind.
I long for the range balls striped in red. From
here all the way to Rikers if you really ripped it.
Dearest Warlord, in this heat things fold in on themselves.
It's bugs versus bugs. Moisture becomes a primary substance.
Metallic storm clouds are constantly reconstituting. It is the
Age of Oxen, the psychedelic epoch of one Beto O'Rourke.
The Chrysler building, once phallic, now
the Lubbock of Turtle Bay/East Midtown2
I wash the dishes in the tub. Play scattergories with the pigeons.
Down the street from my apartment: a Chinese slaughterhouse,
a methadone clinic, an empty lot with weeds the size of trees.
1See: EternalBlue.
2And onward goes the perpetual cycle of conceptual gentrification.
Bananagrams: I want for nothing else.
Perilously disengaged and covered in fruit bats,
I've lost the discipline to catalogue my interests,
the ability to articulate and maintain any kind
of meaningful trajectory. I used to make lists.
Now I nuke tupperware and fill the cookie jar
with madnessss...
From the jetsam of youth comes the need for calisthenics.
A diamond structured madness hellbent on precision
By whose hands were you blinded?
Life's simplest pleasures most readily suffice.
When I bathe it's as though I've been fellated.
I wake up on the later side french kissing my pillow.
It ought not to be this way.
It's hard to say how it happened without
a proper metric for psychic inebriation
Carmichael, the manchild
we are set to repent at 5:30pm
the wafers are laid out
as is the Crystal Pepsi

the soda, it is remembering)

El Camino Reál feels like the kind of street where
you'd see JMV in a blood
red Lebaron and Ray
Bans
softly jostling a double XL green smoothie1.
He's all about the smoothies now. After everything he's been through.
They are core to his identity. Alarmingly so. Like how
we put -aholic on things in a joking way. Even though
it shouldn't be a joke.

[It's weird to think of jail as being "on the table".
The societal form of deep vein thrombosis.

"I just can't with the Palisades anymore. I have to be honest and say
I just don't respect the medium. I need to learn to use some goddamn
discretion. To talk with another person's voice."

You pick up one of your priceless cubes of glass and circuitry. Hold it

We are all prisoners of our own Abraxion myth, Lord
Digital.
The derivations from the story are they themselves the story.
I will be 76 when my consciousness is uploaded
onto a harddrive two miles under the cold earth
inside the NordGen™ Svalbard Global Seed
Vault.
(What if I am one of The Horsemen?)
From that point onward I will live my life as a film.
A film I both watch and star in. A film called "Apple
Mafia" or "My Life with Ibogaine". . . Endless loop.

There are COMPUTER PEOPLE called PLASTICS

I will give half my pro(eeds to them

And so it was decided by those gathered that evening
beneath the twilit ruins of the ancient Cat-Fur site
scattered at their feet like so many 212 cards as
a harsh star beat down upon the firmware eternally.
They would call themselves LOD and become an ENTITY
sheltered beneath the knowing gaze of the ocelot...
looking out beyond the event horizon where
their
timeslice meets the vastness of infinity.,;^?:!(

To look upon the vast boundless wealth of the world
with eyes that know hunger and hearts that ache only
to be denied ENTRY at the gates of heaven's kingdom.
To lay awake in sweat and fire and agony, to want,
to need . . . to lie, cheat, steal, to give up all
things and pretensions of things, for that single
moment when the disk slides home into the drive and
it BOOTS into the title page of a 0-day old ware
knowing how few would ever stand upon this metaphoric
precipice, suspended between the here and hereafter
knowing both places yet falling short again and again
to plunge back to earth on burnt wings of BAD SECTORS
and corrupt SUPERBLOCKS with the bootcode to DOS 2.3.

can always just GOTO and comment it deep into the
