You become tender with a light inside of your broken sleep. The bed seems to turn beneath you at night and there is no way to outrun this artful confusion. You feel a light tapping that is meant to be an imitation of human touch. You see the people around you through a gauzy film, a translucent membrane, the disassociation of similitude. When you awake, you find that you are covered in gelatin--the reduced hooves and bones of animals--and need to loosen yourself from the world of process.
This the actual location of your life and thought--wire through your retinas discovered only recently. You touch the skin on your arm to check for a living warmth within. In their enormous boardrooms, these proportions do not exist. There is only the unifying principle of accumulation, a network that is itself virtual, composed of waves and incapable of error or excess. You watch for signs of life but see only spectacle--rippled muscles, panting heads, streaking jets, embodiment machines. In this landscape, where is sentiment? What are your strategies for finding it? You can find no answers but continue to look for signs.
