it was the big game
the one wed all been waiting for
in the ṛ|ṭøė polytheatre at colossae
it was when it discovered autobiography
pardon
when it saw the abyss of the power of the fiction of identity
the narrative that always isnt there
language was there it had eaten all the philosophers and was nimble and corpulent a flag to itself in statal voids an anthem of anarchy an encomium to disorder
language sat on itself and it was on the benches and in the stands and on the field and whose team it was on or who it was for if anybody or anything no one could tell
theres not philosophy nor are there even philosophers but theres language and in each of its infinite eyes a thinking word
and in each word endless lies and flies
so it discovers the treacheries in the grammars of lifing a life
and suicides
like a ballerina in auschwitz
its narcissistic
its solipsistic
its using slapstick as a dipstick
its the big game
they embedded onto the field like transcompilers
any lines or goals or bases or loops or referees that might once have been are missing
they tumble onto the field like virtual intermediate representations
and no one tells them when to run or start
or end
its impossible to distinguish between players and spectators and press and popcorn and staff
only language stands out
sitting on everyone like time
its that sitting that it notices
after philosophy had undressed
and theres no body underneath
but the intimation of a shape of night
and sitting on it
language
does not language call out dont words raise their voices
on the heights along the way where paths meet they take their stand
beside the gates leading into the city at the entrances they cry aloud
and it models a kind of simulating of a query of an assembly of constructing
so to travel into the life of life one leaves philosophy
philosophy like science falls down outside itself
but language still sits on itself
and in that sitting theres a promise however void of a story
of a story that hasnt shown or doesnt show or shows but not in shows or cannot show
its that story we long to write
to see
to live
not to live
its been lived
being
being
the only facts not facts but words
and words are facts like dreams and virga
and so a life
and so it saw
and so the one who lives is fog and script
and so the one who dies
