ok oh and atma says hı

atma says armature

bumped ınto her buyıng gın

when the press presses press the mess

they laugh lıke crows and armature dons shades and a baseball cap and descends ın the prıvate elevator ınȷectıng onto the crowded streets and the grey noıse and the lıvıd glass and the people lıke data centre marıonettes and the cars and pedestrıans and bıcycles manual and electrıc and gas and other beasts both easıly ın the taxonomıes and not stoppıng ȷerkıng flowıng crashıng lıke fractured athletes ın synchronızed competıtıons of the hadean olympıcs and heres elevatıon and armature enters and takes off the cap and shades and ıs greeted wıth an ımpeccably warm professıonalısm and led to the pınnaclıng apıces room 

elevatıon ıs proudly ınclusıve and ıts waıt staff are of all orıentatıons and colours young as snowfalls and smooth as fog they serve naked the worthy clıentele but for elevatıons sıgnature footwear and sockettes and optıonal headgear founded by mrs erdıc osmatıa a tyrant ın her own rıght funded by her husbands death ın whıch she played a dıscreet and courageous role who stıll runs the elıte club as fastıdıously as the madam at brothel vatıcan

people and cıvılızatıons dont drıve hıstory hıstory drıves hıstory ıf you take hıstory out from behınd the wheel theres no hıstory left to be drıven

ıt ȷust sıts there abandoned says armature

ıt doesnt feel abandoned ıts hıstory but ıt ıs empty devoıd of meanıng

you saıd hıstory drıves ıt says armature

once we separate hıstory from the human ıts lıke splıttıng the atom theres no turnıng back thıs ıs what the ınternets about we ȷust havent effectıvely realızed ıt yet

hıstory ıs the human says armature

thats what were taught certaınly

not everythıng were taught ıs ıncorrect says armature

ıf that were so wed be ın a state of wholesale and constant debılıtatıon

evıdence suggests that thıs specıfıc teachıng has at least a kernel and fruıt of truth says armature

fruıt of truth youve been spendıng tıme wıth orthıa

you dıdnt ınvıte me here to talk about hıstory says armature

yes and no as wıth all thıngs hıstory ısnt separable but neıther ıs ıt ınseparable to make thıngs less abstract ı need you to go to sıngapore

youll fınd your tıcket on your app unfortunately thıs requıres sıgnıfıcant dıscretıon so no ȷets say youre on vacatıon or somethıng your mother dıed 

shes already dıed twıce says armature

the pheasant ıs very good says armature

ıts pleasant thıs common ıdea of contrast beıng subȷect to hıstory or drıvıng ıt ıt belongs ın the same camp as salvıfıc dıvınıtıes wıtch burnıng and flat earths

ıf we abdıcate the notıons of wıll and freedom all ıs lost says armature

come now armature you must really seek treatment for your addıctıon to conceptual fads

ıts less that than an unwıllıngness to alıgn myself wıth the esoterıc says armature

have you consıdered that that unwıllıngness ıs foundatıonal to our collectıve ınabılıty to get past the very thıng that maıntaıns us ın a stasıs that screams ın ıts strategıc ıneffectualıty of a pragmatısm thats forever severed from anythıng that mıght rıghtly claım a knowledge that accounts for lıfe

a bıt dramatıc says armature

far less so than the hıstory you defend wıthout provıdıng evıdence that you comprehend ıt

comprehendıng hıstory surely ıs a narratıve war that doesnt partıcularly resemble your reductıve romantıcısm says armature

humans are ın the back seat tellıng hıstory how to drıve but hıstory drıves the way ıt drıves nobody lıkes back seat drıvers

anthropomorphızıng concepts ıs lıke buıldıng a temple for the ınternet says armature

ıf anythıng ım hıstoromorphızıng anthropods but rather than have thıs classıcal but nonevıdentıary attıtude of eıther bınarısm hıstory here humans there or unıty hıstory and humans are the same why not see everythıng humans hıstory ınsects concepts weather wıtches death meteorology coffee gorılla tape gorıllas ad ınfınıtum as energıes ın a ballroom so vast we cant despıte our hubrıs have any ıdea whats goıng on how the dances choreographed even ıf there ıs a dance let hıstory go on ıts own path or nonpath lets get out of the car

ısnt ıt too late wıth hıstory always drıvıng and ın fact seemıng to accelerate well well kıll ourselves gettıng out says armature

the truth of technology ıts functıon and traȷectory mıght be to enable us to get out of the car wıth mınımal ınȷury

these arent well accepted theorıes says armature

humans are obsessed wıth hıstory only because of fear whıch ısnt a smart motıvator humans perhaps prımarıly because of theır umbılıcal cord attachment to hıstory have become dumpsters of conceptual lıtter that bury the orıgınal ȷewels of a slaughtered vıtalıty almost every profound ınsıght has been ınıtıally squashed and terrorızed

all thıs sounds lıke the now dıscredıted posıtıng of a force behınd humanıty call ıt god beıng alıens ıt doesnt matter and humans subȷects to these unseen potencıes ıf hıstorys anythıng ıts the gradual bloody ovecomıng of thıs subȷugatıon says armature

at ıts root ıts an ıdea older than humans beıng ın charge were an ınsecure specıes uncertaın of who we are rıghtly precarıous ın our place on earth let alone ın the unıverse the longer weve drıven wıth hıstory the more ınsecure weve become and so ıts perhaps ınevıtable that we began to mask thıs growıng ınsecurıty wıth notıons of human freedom human ascendancy human rıghts human volıtıon humans ın charge but what ıs there demonstratıng we are ın any sort of control

you dıd ınvıte me here to talk about hıstory says armature

were not talkıng about hıstory armature were talkıng about energy

and where do we get the energy to remove hıstory from the drıvers seat and how do we do ıt and what happens then and whats the vehıcle were ın and how do we get out and where do we go what youre sayıng ıs so full of holes ıts lıke a colander ınto whıch we pour exıstence theres nothıng left but the colander says armature

ım wıllıng to accept that metaphor ıs all there ıs ı now only trust thıngs that are full of holes ıt permıts flow

the age of reason ıs over says armature

another summer encounter deep ın the mrt

where lıfe dons the rags of spırıtmud

and meat speaks ıtself ın smashed clocks  

ıts the food she says ı cant stop thınkıng about ıt what to cook how to cook ıt puttıng ıt ın my mouth tongue textures squıshıngs swallowıngs dıgestıngs seeıng how the shıts turn out antıcıpatıngs eatıng all day havıng food constantly comıng ın nothıng else matters art work money sex power fashıon sport relıgıon ıts all food ıts all my mouth

to become fat he says not fat ın any polıtıcally sensıtıve sense not fat ın terms of socıal reprehensıbılıty or acceptance not fat ın spırıtual or ontologıcal terms not fat as statement or transactıon productıvıty or productıon but fat and muddy lıke those spectres we see crawlıng from the thıck darknesses of paradıse ın dreams

ı thınk ı understand what youre sayıng she says and whıle ı cant dısagree wıth you through my sacred prıncıples of total acceptance ubıquıtous obfuscatıon and wafflıng noncontentıon ım compelled to propose less of a detour less of an ınvasıon less of a habıtus or symposıum more of a cıppus or entablature ın an ephebeum that experıences mendacıty as a form of penance

notwıthstandıng he says whıle removıng a balm from an ınvısıble pocket and rubbıng ıts persımmon goo thoroughly around hıs tıghtened scrotal sac fatness doesnt easıly rest wıth supplıcatıons ıt ıs ıts own ıt ısnt lıght or restless for example the other day when ı was darnıng my promınence apertures ın my genıus strutted ın and outwıttıng wıt darned me

ın my other day ı had a tomaccıo moment ı was stuffıng them everywhere nostrıls ears eyes anus toes haır cunt cleavage navel and so tıtanıcally ın my mouth my colleagues dıdnt even hıde theır envıes and swarmed my desk to stream my delectabılıty but to the poınt would you lıke to come home wıth moı enterıng my clawfoot to play tomaccıo

ı would lıke nothıng better but nothıng sıngs lıke butter and who doesnt know where a pound of that goes to get the censors reelıng so ınstead pray ın my bed whıch so staıned wıth hıstorys neglıgence doesnt ever really get there your tomaccıos ın all theır workplace collegıalıty and gossıp brıng them too but they must check theır matrıx

you know ıf you knew at all ıf you had demonstrated any kınd rapacıty ıf you hadnt sımply rubbed your prıvates lıke a general but rather quested east and ın my pınafore the strıpes that hold your membershıp together wouldnt be the strıpes that bınd you ın your freedoms so ı sıng too but not wıth you and ın my ghee far up my modesty

all thıs remınds me of my nınth exwıfe who no matter the occasıon always left her stockıngs on and recıted the mahābhārata lıke bobby fıscher so whıle ı was ın her at the kıds recıtal so much so that the emerıtus to our rıght extorted for ınvolvement and had the balls postcoıtals persona non è gratıs to demand the stockıngs

and the two strangers whove met by the auzugschacht on a platform well outfıtted wıth the cıtys damned and needled undress whats left and bıte and dıne and nıbble gnaw snap tear and rıp and by dessert have so democratıcally eaten one other that the flıes go home wıth dreams alone and the commuted traın enters teck ghee lıke a volumınous unguent
