  • IN REAL LIFE.

    Give me a minute. I gotta call my inviolate sister.

    You have an involate sister?

    Something like that.

    Ok?

    Hold on.

    Hello.

    Ring ring.

    You! What do you want?!

    The better question is: what don't I already have!?

    I don't know! You idiot!

    Yes. “Me” “idiot”

    lol what is that dude getting at anyway?

    I really don't know .

    {Enter The Multiverse}

    Hey.

    …hey.

    Do you have Syphilis?

    What! No! Why?

    Do you have syphilis?

    I might.

    So why would you ask me?

    I just know we sleep with a lot of the same girls and everything.

    Since when?

    I told you before, I don't mind having leftovers.

    Gross stop! You've been taking all my sloppy seconds?

    Leftovers. It just—sounds classier.

    Well not if you have syphilis!

    Lil bitz

    I just found out you can say “Deepthroat” on TV

    Also, I just learned the word “tube steak”

    I was looking vegan cupcakes on Amazon

    Cause I'm fantastic

    And what comes up in the search next to my cupcakes

    Blows my mind

    I found these lollipops…

    For cats.

    And I thought

    “People are crazy”

    It's just something I would never do.

    I was like

    “Why would I get him a lollipop?”

    “I don't even like him.”

    Fresh from the land of a thousand suns

    And I stil don't know which stone to land on

    No random environment;

    I underwent the whole attorney

    And still met with resistance

    I just asked an an amphetamine as if it was

    A supplement to my existence

    In fact, it is,

    An edifice or m addition to my nutrition deficit

    And I says,

    For whatever's lost but goes on,

    Fight for rich or poorer while the poorer suffer longer

    No longer argue my agreements,

    Distance to whatever's after

    There I rest upon the sober throne,

    And throwing watermelon seeds into the ground as as stones,

    For may as well without the water

    And also sure to rot,

    Or waste as rats,

    Computer paper,

    There again

    Recycling bins of compost

    Just for show, but not for shredded paper

    No, no longer or wonder my nonsense,

    In fact, I, raging there had kept no more a suffer than a secret to be sure of here—

    And sure of her I was and sheer and gathered

    Torment your emotions,

    Also just to want but not to have

    As those that matter.

    So I've called in all the white clothes

    Now we represent with denim.

    And I'm stuck inside your television

    Stuck inside your television

    Don't you know you've shown you're weakness in the purest of hatred,

    Separating yourselfs as the basis for this

    Depreciation?

    Wonder, again I wonder

    And still no sad trombones,

    Only stories, and somber surfers

    And solemn whores and silent wars with words

    And sundries

    From the land of one thousand suns

    And a thousand sons you've lost

    A thousand wars,

    A thousand girls who want you

    Gathered over rails and velvet theatre ropes for it

    Rare. But slightly often scored,

    Parched,

    And barely long forgotten,

    Tipping,

    And waiting only

    This bitch comes on the train and smells like soup.

    Don't look at me as if I'm the one to have done something,

    I've no cardboard box but rather lift my chin at Whole Foods market over bags or water.

    You know it?

    I also do that for the dozen,

    No trend follows, or feathered gathered,

    Hollow winds and tunnels

    Tunnels sent and shadows

    I hadn't been pin pricked

    I never been picked out

    Blow the candles for which wish?

    I've be ever been bound to love

    Or celebrated by another besides my mother

    But here's so sensory deprivation,

    Overstimulation

    lol I love getting on the train and just happening to see a dude who is not listening to his dumb fucking girlfriend

    But she won't shut the fuck up

    He's just standing there like

    “Clearly I'm getting sex out of this”

    And she won't stop talking.

    I love that.

    I'm like “bitch, shut up.”

    He's like

    “Help me.”

    I'm like

    Not my problem, broskies,

    You better look interested instead of over here.

    Anyway, another year's gone by and no one's here for me.

    Anyway, another son was born without my honor.

    Anyway, I want to lap it up like all the water on the floor

    Before I realized it was gold,

    And I was slaughtered

    No use crying over spilled galaxies,

    Still you're trapped in I,

    And I'm found to want more than I decided

    If I'm divided and clustered up

    And yet I'm divine then,

    I should gather all I've had

    Combine it into one

    —and yet

    Another columbine has come

    As if they're all occurrences,

    Just set to Apple Watches

    And broadcast t'all the provences.

    In a cinch I've just realized

    I've the trench coat to match your jacket

    But no longer the converse all stars

    And you've seen to washed yours off from my angle

    Simple single triangle and spheres for fears of masturbating,

    Crash the grate at all the hours,

    Never really gravitating for anything important,

    Only alt-right

    Can't afford that

    All your penlaltied for real to mean political rallies or ambitions act as barriers to those that actually ally.

    Who am I?

    That's right? I can't belay in body!

    Oh,

    I can't to grip the shadows

    Boxing with the cat for your night

    V.O

    We were friends with the humans—

    Most of our job is finding out what happened with them.

    Future people

    Vintage potluck

    All out time

    And all our hard work

    All our bad luck

    All our warns

    Fell on her shores

    as lodes for her

    Oh,

    How his legs fall so calmly one over the other

    Or,

    How his songs flow not as words, but heart strings

    Our melodies will walk in chords for all time

    For now if ta zzz A as te r

    ( I love when i get off the train and that happens)

    What a brilliant blue,

    Yea, in fact, its cerulean

    Yes, in fact, if you can

    Facts to rule them all, so

    If you fax, try to call, here goes all your worry

    Here's your love;

    None

    For the facts you were sure to walk about, now you're our, gone

    From the top

    Don't ever forget you're on watch

    I've got a whole heart full of freedom

    Just don't look up from your phone e

    They brought you jo now pull you don't a bit

    You're a clown, it seems

    But no activists

    They heil Hitler in central Bedford

    No articles of new clothing l, huh?

    They love to watch all your digging

    They call it hyper vigilance because racism in New York can be so violent

    That its strength lies not only in money and power but nearly balanced numbers

    Which justifies hurtful and aggressive actions as adaptations to the changing world

    They see themselves as the controllers

    Still slave master but in such a context

    That they mask the hatred that lies under the surface as social issues of another kind

    • it seems to hurt in another way you can't always tell the doctor.

    • Martyrs.

      Don't you see, sensei

      I'm just as disappointed in myself

      And ready to die

      Just as I relay the message,

      Spray me with your morbid essence

      Don't, croak, you fool,

      You've only a spoon ful of sugar left to go

      The dose is coming up your throat,

      — you didn't know to throw up

      Grab the rope and go up

      Before gravity has crushed your

      —thought:

      Stupid boy, you don't want to die—

      Nor to do, but oh, do we have it coming

      Silly mortal, overlords and governed,

      Short of morals, steady coming at your doorstep

      So goes our concert!

      And so goes our concept for divorce,

      And sure of course,

      Your four corse meal, and/or dessert

      This is just devastating, genetics made me

      The sort at sorting words, but surfing,

      Sure.

      Ever temporarily the cadence changes,

      Still they say “you've been betrayed”

      But never had a friend I made made

      As good as death and God have been to me

      For everything you're meant to be,

      Plus everything you're meant to me,

      I go, unwanted, troubled and disgusted at my own immortal outcome.

      Sure.

      My back hurts and I'm wounded,

      Heartbroke,

      Thrust in every cardinal direction

      Also, honored at the mark of magic wand

      Upon her shoulder;

      And so,

      Just as soon as the sun and moon,

      Does the fire escape set a perfect path

      For outward destruction of the bricks and mortar

      Or your alter

      (This we talk about, to some effect

      Is your repression and affective form of supernatural perfection)

      But forget the makeup;

      I can make you up to be a star

      And not of wars and other worlds,

      But those that come before us,

      Carson, and the others

      Paar before that.

      But,

      I think not dear sir

      How wrong you are,

      A wretched bird,

      Set not to fly, but O father

      Wit and relay messages,

      The passage said, and set to clocks,

      The past was won and so the future altered,

      But dear feathered father,

      Mortal you are not

      But just another triumph

      Of my god;

      And set the mirror to the magnets

      Camera, lights and action,

      Magic—

      All the signs of the dawn, and the mad don

      Red Dawn came upon us, called the Red Man Tom, from other, over, under

      Still was my mistake to mumble such

      Or put upon the tongue

      As such assumption

      Still— wonder?

      Bird, shut up;

      Love I dusk

      And lust I soak

      In all the frittered dust and feathers,

      Colors, coming up as mister

      Chuck and wood, and wait and ponder

      Slithered this to wonder, not a rock,

      But potted fern,

      Asunder

      Thunderstorm

      And wicked rain

      And fair the back

      A tide had come

      And sitting there upon the shore,

      Was us, and 12 apostles

      She's a Brick—

      Seemingly out of nowhere, A RED BRICK HOUSE falls very perfectly from the SKY and into OZ.

      oh good, my house is here.

      House.

      [the festival project ™]

      But I don't want to make house!

      Then play it!

      I don't want to play house it is BORING.

      You play it— they want it.

      But I don't want it.

      Then forget it!

      What!

      Listen kid, a job's a job!

      {Enter The Multiverse}

      Wrong, this is wrong— everything is wrong.

      What's wrong, Rob?

      I'll be back.

      ROB LOWE has just played TRUTH OR DARE

      L E G E N D S

      if I could get inside your head

      For just a second

      Bread and butter

      Heaven, hell,

      And other places I have wandered

      But oh, wonder

      This is never what I wanted,

      Was it?

      No sir.

      Sure, I set you off,

      No sooner had you got a gun and shot me.

      Handsome fucker.

      I'll bet.

      Wrong act.

      Wrong award show.

      Wrong hat and a baseball bat,

      Peanut butter and a nice cold cheesecake,

      Don't forget to order cheesesteak

      For your cat.

      A carnivore at odds with the other worlds,

      And also fused to us;

      This drifting back and forth

      Between the Rock

      And Hollywood

      Has got to stop.

      ((The world is toxic.))

      the legend of…

      L. JONES

      It's you!

      BLŪ

      AH, crap.

      L. JONES

      Listen, I got something for you.

      BLŪ

      Where did your bird go?

      L.JONES

      What bird?

      CUT TO:

      Now open that.

      No wait! It's a trap!

      THE VAULT inside THE CRYPT at 30 ROCK has been opened.

      I keep looking down at my phone

      As if I'm expecting a phone call

      Or incoming message from God

      But the worlds to a song

      Are all jumbled up in my

      Concious

      I don't want to talk about it

      I feel

      Nauseous

      Everyone is being obnoxious

      Even my own blood

      I don't want to function

      I just want some French toast crunch

      For lunch

      Nostalgia

      I got a whole inch taller on the peloton

      Holla

      Now I got a body,

      Broader,

      So close to Broadway

      But I never go there

      That's a tall order

      Of “gotta have money”

      I mean live theatre

      It's fine

      I'll eat here

      And repeat these things till they just rhyme

      Line them all up like a context,

      Story

      Someday I'm gonna cut my own check

      Watch me

      lol none of this rhymes without a hard Brooklyn accent ;

      Guess you can't hack it!

      Send you ass packin!

      I said

      “That's whack son!”

      Then I went back blonde

      Now they want

      Backend,

      Contract,

      Off the top,

      Royalties

      Residuals

      I'm an individual with insidious syntax

      And yet

      I'm ridiculed

      Truly I'm a tit-for-tat

      Or particle of all you are

      Circular centrifuge, I trickle down your tentacles

      (Eugh)

      Choke the chicken just to give the cat a chicken bowl,

      Chick fil et and pret a tair just to get a ritual

      Espresso and a quick snack

      So I can get my dick wrapped

      In chocolate and licorice because the shit is edible

      Damn that

      I guess they set a damn trap

      By putting out the welcome mat,

      Then strapping

      Like a mothafuckin' straight jacket

      Matter fact, I look a nap in it,

      Then magic tricked the slip effective

      Compliments of Michael Jackson

      Or was it tech nine?

      Maybe I should get my

      Mind right

      I lost it once

      I guess I've better find it

      If I am, in fact,

      A diamond in the rough

      It's probably blooded it up enough

      That you should dig it up and shine it;

      Better yet,

      Somebody outta pick it up

      And sign it,

      Cause I write enough

      To put a vision

      To a blind man

      It's Fran Fine, man

      I'm behind, man

      The shadowgov had put me on a diet

      My bad

      I noticed that they tried to shut me up

      But couldn't stop the words or other stuff

      That just keeps coming out of my head

      I put coconuts as butter onto my bread

      And thinking thoughts of Carl cox

      As I drift off in my bed,

      I said,

      “It shouldn't be a problem, officer”

      As I reached for the gun

      And he aimed it at my death.

      That's an impossible apocalyptic suicide—

      Did you invite the devil in?

      I said

      “Nah, but that guy did.”

      The problem is, I pointed over yonder to a ghost

      Who also knows that I'm a well respected psychic;

      Nevermind a sidekick, side bitch in a sidecar,

      Psych ward,

      Sike! We spike war on your kind!

      So far,

      If I make history tonight,

      The other side decides their psalm is just as likely

      The third reike.

      Okay, strike one:

      I'm gonna turn your lights off.

      Strike two : you do and say what I do:

      Strike three: we're gonna make you suicidal

      I specialize in denying rights for high profits

      But big brother, or boss—

      What if my glove fits?

      The instance it does,

      We lock you up with no service,

      Your world becomes dark

      And your words become worthless

      Oh shit. This is not a good rap song.

      Like, at all.

      I must say, I do agree,

      You lose your trust, but silently

      Denied is all your trouble,

      Till it just begins to bubble up

      Until the cookie crumbles—

      See that feeling in your stomach?

      This is bigger than the money, girl —

      They want your soul, and then the world!

      I told you never call him.

      I didn't!

      Then explain this:

      [Skrillex]

      *sharp inward sigh*

      CUT IMMIDIATLEH TO

      STAN

      You know what! That's it! I don't care how handsome or rich and famous he is! This has to stop!

      KYLE

      Hey, wait just a minute—

      STAN

      SHUT UP KYLE.

      KYLE

      You shut up!

      STAN

      You're starting to sound just like him!

      KYLE

      Take that back!

      STAN

      I won't take it back! You all might have forgotten who you are, but I haven't!after of fact, I bet to Cartman, you're still that stupid little Jew kid!

      KYLE

      That's IT.

      KYLE takes out his phone.

      what are you doing?

      …I'm tweeting about this.

      I thought it was X now…

      It is, but you can't ‘x' anything, it's still calledl tweeting.

      I guess youre right.

      —and I'm tagging Cartman !

      STAN

      Are you serious?

      Oh shit, this is social suicide.

      …did I ever explain this storyline?

      …I don't know, did i?

      I'd gotten so focused on this impending doom looming over me with this whole lawsuit that I'd forgotten entire worlds and whole documents. Even more terrifying, was the sudden quiet and the onset guilt that came over me for getting distracted. But I couldn't remove myself from it entirely—- it seemed to have ruined everything. It wasn't just motorcycle noises, it was like a nervousness and angst twisting in my stomach for months and months, until finally, as the court dates started approaching, it was peaceful, or rather, normal, all of a sudden. It couldn't be peaceful because now that the extreme noise was gone, I knew it had been planted all long— but what was the purpose? I'd lost two years not knowing, and though there were albums, they were never what I wanted. Now I was sorting through the documents of the show like it was the rubble of a decimated building— completely demolished, and I hadn't the slightest clue the contexts or the storylines anymore. It was pain and suffering, but not in the legal context. It was a creative disaster— I hadn't any idea in the slightest where I'd left my audience before I was forced to abandon them. But I was forced to choose, at times, between soap and toilet paper, or eventually, food, and water— or a phone. Eventually, this too became a pattern of the impossible— trying my hardest to do what I thought had been my purpose, but for far, being so endlessly sabotaged, even ridiculed and humiliated, and still, I couldn't understand why. I was tired— and somehow, even though I'd wanted to be left alone, I was the target. Worse was that I assumed it to be bigger than I thought and completely out of control— I thought immediately back to how my best friend from middle school had been attacked, and how she was made to think that it was me…to the point that she'd become obsessive about it to call my mom over it. And as far as the court was concerned, to the wrong ears or wrong eyes, anything I'd published in the festival project could look troublesome, like the ramblings of a mad mad, or schizo, or uncontrolled obsessive thoughts— because the biggest secrets of all, the things that tied together these fictional worlds and plots, were my own real life experience. The inability in a court of law to detail the podcast, which had started as meltdown some would call grandiose over an almost long forgotten rockstar and a porn model — and the entries into the festival project that followed, which included high concepts, off-kilter comedy, politics, and even fringed on social justice. Nothing I ever would have wanted and especially over money, but the lawsuit wasn't about money at all. In fact, at any moment I would have chosen to die and have it all stop if it weren't for my very young son being left alone. Though recently the dread had overcome with a sense of unbearable loss and agony, encrypted with suicidal thoughts and wants, reeling for human touch, the overbearing factor seemed to be that if I killed myself, I was giving someone what they wanted. I was really much too tired to go on, but leaving behind the world in entirety, in my very own way of beliefs wasn't just “shitutting it off”, it was starting it over. Understandably and undeniably immortal in its nature, the instances of God I had left spoke with a reminiscence of being born again, and having to remember which is it I'd wanted to start off. It was an unachievable overload of chaos and disruption, a level of corruption that spoke to something so dark and sinister it seemed biblical — then, again, I tried to wrap my mind around a way to rebuild a positive world from hope and thought, or manifest reality, but this is the very experience I'd felt was intended all along. The motorcycles weren't merely meant to destroy my career, or my will power, or force— they were, but also they were made to play upon my most valuable asset, the power of thought, to make it impossible to become something other than what was wanted; to use my own mind against itself and destroy my way of thought by using vibrations that could not be shut out, or stopped— they followed me to the sound collective, to Shakespeare in the park, the bank, the doctors office— it was as if they knew and understood my very thoughts, my process. It was of nothing at all to corrupt every single body and brain who would surround me or come close— by using the power that seemed supernatural enough, but indeed were powered by money, and technology. Perhaps, in this essence, I thought, was the purest display of defective intention itself; the mere thought that this indeed was rather Good Vs. Evil or God and The Devil would easily be written off as a diseased way of thought. The social world and constructs had been built around being open minded to a system of psychology that was intrinsically rather corrupt. I knew this could only be fought with what I knew, and what I could draw from as logic.

      I didn't want to go to court because I knew the people I would be fighting were liars, and well trained psychological masters of manipulation, well hidden terrorists dressed as public servants and systematic corrupters all for simple profit margins, to whom I was not so much a person or a mother, or a daughter, but a number.

      Because I was poor, and had once or four times chosen to love the wrong person in an unorthodox and uncontrollable form of torture, dismissing each and every social construct or physiology that was by the book, by embracing that there was a reason for change I quickly became quite the antagonist of sorts and hopefully not some sort of martyr —for the kind of people that had money and property, and perhaps even socially constructed circles to camoflage their own self doubt and hatred, but absolutely also had no morals.

      So count that up,

      Trying so hard

      So I won't be pouring coffee for the puffin;

      Maybe someday I'll look back at this as all I ever wanted,

      Not back to slumber, but of subtle thoughts

      What you'd have wanted;

      Though the tongue so convexed having way to guild your complex,

      Shaking as I hunger fruit that not but hangs

      Before l wanted

      I know,

      I could knot be consoled

      I know,

      I could not be consoled

      I know

      I could not be consolidated either

      Bought, or purchased

      I know I'm not consoled at all,

      I know

      I'm not confirmed at all

      I know, I know

      I'm not confronted, nor immortal

      — but your glorified affliction.

      Poor infinity.

      Of poverty, perhaps, but never poor at all.

      For your were warned of all the doors as opened at your calling.

      Not to walk though,

      But to ponder at them, wondering.

      he's gone

      Maybe I should go

      Too

      Heavy weight hanging on my

      Shoulders

      I'm just star struck

      I don't know

      You

      I don't really like saying

      What I go through

      Talk an hour,

      Fake it

      All day show

      Monologue Improvisation

      Now i'm on a roll,

      But my thoughts got darker

      I like adderall and a real smooth talker

      I like a husband-father ,

      Doctor, Actor,

      Tall and handsome,

      Doesn't matter

      I'm alone, so i feel hopeless

      Aggie's gone,

      So i might as well go though

      Oh–

      She's gone

      ((I think i'm past my time))

      I think i should go to

      She's gone

      (so long)

      Right on, man

      I might as well go to

      It's been a long time,

      Gotta turn my light off,

      Overtime,

      That's a long ball game

      Season's over;

      On my back in the middle of the ball court

      She's gone,

      So i might as well go too.

      The Genre: "Afro-Surrealism" / "Social Horror"

      "Psycho-Acoustic Weaponry" or "Havana Syndrome symptoms."

      The Frame: The protagonist is subjected to "noise harassment"—a tactic dramatized here but rooted in the known reality of tenant displacement and "psychological attrition." The narrative depicts a process of "Soul Murder" ( also known as spiritual warfare) orchestrated by a hostile apparatus.

      The antagonist is "The Institution," representing deep-state mechanisms that view multicultural intellectualism as a threat.

      The story allegorically dramatizes the invisible mechanisms that enforce racial hierarchy, depicting how broken social systems weaponize psychological practices against the individual.

      Artist's Note:

      This is a living document. In the event of the artist's silence or unnatural death, this text serves as an artistic testament to the psychological siege endured from to 2023-2025. It is a creative record of survival against a hostile state architecture.

      The following is a creative non-fiction horror manifesto regarding the psychological assassination of a multicultural American artist. It documents—through the lens of Afro-Surrealism—how modern surveillance technology and sonic harassment are experienced by the targeted individual.

      As it stands It has become a modern sequel which mirrors the civil rights struggles of the 1960s, set in the present day.

      "The protagonist is being subjected to 'noise harassment'—a known tactic used by landlords and corrupt entities to displace tenants.

      The sound is weaponized to induce sleep deprivation and psychological attrition, dismantling of their ego and will to live, orchestrated by a hostile state apparatus.

      The antagonist in this piece is 'The Institution'—a deep state that views multicultural intellectualism as a threat.

      The story dramatizes over time the invisible mechanisms (the 'Deep State') that enforce racial hierarchy and and psychological genocide, weaponizing broken social systems and unfounded psychological practices as biological weapons.

      This is a living document.

      In the event of the artist's silence or unnatural death, this text serves as evidence of the psychological siege endured from 2023-2025. It is a transcript of survival against a hostile state architecture.

      This project spans an unlimited multiprojectoral arc of over two years of chronic violence, reaching into historical and theatrical projections and parallels over the all documented records of human existence through time and space.

      Chasing Dragons EP is the wall-to-wall fragments of a broken mind, escaping narrowly through the void of darkness amidst destruction and chaos—a leaking neon mind seeping through the cracks of a desolate lack-of-being intuitively by the force of light. In a volatile palette of colors and swelter of subtle and shrill pinpoints that pierce through the veil of high ceilings, the drastic breathlessness of a place that is nowhere bows deeply below its own depths in the lows in the unknown sorrows of a seemingly bottomless spiral of a spirited death, and not long after calling in itself an awakening to that which is ‘other'.

      Chasing Dragons, though short in its articulate concept, is a mind on the brink of an eruption amidst betrayal and unending subconscious tragedy abruptly applied by unknown forces—at its core, a realization of the Godot factor in effect; an unjust seeking but never to find, and becoming of what is unfamiliar in form and taste.

      Chasing Dragons is the cat-and-mouse of large-scale calamity that is both knowing and needing—without satisfaction nor escape from the constructs which bound all material forces to life itself.

      Cheshire let out himself! It's Cheshire!

      Well, that's no comfort, we've lost the cat!

      Lost the cat, says hatter, and so then, at most—-

      You've lost the brunt whole of all the things you need to go home, dear Alice!

      You're corrupt,

      So abruptly stopped from having our design

      Does it,

      EXT. CONCERT. DAY

      SUNNI BLU converses with CHARLES over a musical break STAGE LEFT of the MAINSTAGE.

      SUNNI BLU

      Thems the two prettiest girls right there.

      CHARLES

      yeah . ok.

      SUNNI BLU

      Grab em up.

      CHARLES

      SUNNI BLU

      Snatch em up.

      CHARLES

      SUNNI BLU

      Micheal Jackson style munich on that bitch.

      CHARLES

      SUNNI BLU

      CHARLES

      SUNNI BLU

      They wont mind.

      CHARLES

      Uhhhh…

      SUNNI BLU

      I promise. watch . BOUNCER

      SUNNI's bodyguard BOUNCER crosses to center stage. SUNNI whispers into BOUNCER'S ear and he nods once and smirks; he then walks out into the crowd and picks up the two girls SUNNI aforementioned, tossing each of them over his shoulders, planting them on stage next to SUNNI; they scream and cry hysterically.

      SUNNI nods and smiles in self admiration and throws BOUNCER and CHARLES a thumbs up; CHARLES shakes his head slowly in disapproval, the GIRLS scream and cry hysterically; SUNNI grins and carries on about the show.

      CUT IMMEDIATELY TO:

      SUNNI BLU

      YO! I got mad lawsuits.

      MORGAN

      Plural?

      SUNNI BLU

      well what were you expecting, sunni?

      No, get out.

      Get out, get out!

      Are we trading kings for whistle!

      Sacred things and torturers?

      Lill bitz

      I started talking to this guy from tinder

      Then I quickly realized he only texted me at like 3 in the morning, like “come over”

      So I started texting him really weird shit—

      Like really weird.

      Like, I would make sure before I sent it, I would re-read it and be like

      “Ya, that's weird.”

      “That's really weird.”

      Every time, just read it to myself and be like

      “Ya that's giving “you're psycho”

      Right off the bat.

      Kate Winslet is so good at late night.

      She talks mad slow and answers every open ended question with a paragraph of thoughtless nonsense— finally, at the end of the paragraph, she answers the question in yes or no fashion; in this sense, you've completely forgotten the question through redirection. This has taken nearly five minutes.

      Genius.

      Amidst a story, she begins to slowly decrechendo until she's murmuring in a near whisper so you really have to try to pay attention to what she's saying, which is almost nothing. So considerably nothing, that you lose thought in trying to grasp and accept the words— this is excellent banter, because of course, she isn't really saying anything. This has taken another five minutes.

      Captivating.

      INT. DENTISTS OFFICE. DAY.

      Who is Claude Von Wastvermaan?

      KIMMEL

      Doctor Claude Von Wastverman.

      Okay. Who is that?

      KIMMEL

      It's me. I'm Claude Von Wastverman.

      Dr.—

      KIMMEL

      Yeah. It's me.

      KIMMEL

      Why are you— what?

      KIMMEL

      This is my office.

      …why?

      Because— I use specific research and target demographics to seek out people who have no interest in whatsoever watching my show and do not recognize me in any way actively seeking a dental practitioner—

      Why?

      KIMMEL

      Because! My audience loves me. They want to see me— they have to like me!

      So?

      KIMMEL

      These people don't know who I am. They don't want to see me—and there's a good chance, they won't like me at all.

      …this is how you spend your free time?

      KIMMEL

      —and some of my vacation days!

      Jesus.

      KIMMEL

      Yeah. I'm not alright!

      How much does this office space cost?

      KIMMEL

      You wouldn't like it. And—I take very limited insurance.

      Did you…study dentistry, at all, at any point?

      KIMMEL

      Not at all—

      Oh, Jesus.

      KIMMEL

      But Claude might have for a short time— online.

      These degrees look legitimate.

      KIMMEL

      He was a really good guy.

      Wait. What.

      [a rubber glove snaps]

      KIMMEL

      If you'll excuse me, I have an appointment coming in at 2:30.

      …you're kidding me.

      KIMMEL

      I'm not—and she's always early. Get out.

      Gladly.

      He opens the door and leads him out of the office, looking startled startled and shaking his head.

      KIMMEL

      Good afternoon, Mrs. Evanston.

      Perhaps I was just looking for something and my brain saw what it wanted to— but it kept coming around in ways that were stranger and stranger, and I couldn't explain the thought of it, like I was connected to something.

      Jimmy Slithered.

      But it's okay,

      Cause I hate to see him prosper.

      Wait a minute?

      Did it enter for a second in your head to what had happened?

      Very obviously is it just exactly as you'd imagined.

      Wait a moment;

      Give a little gift for winter's entrance—

      Suddenly you're hating Christmas,

      Just infected with this sort of hatred

      That's been creeping up on them for centuries.

      Very well, then Skrillex.

      Very well, played ventriloquist act at the Rock

      And how hardened are you, the heart of all non immortal and broken?

      Are you succumbed to never wonder either?

      Cratered.

      Disrespect and spills of want,

      Spools and spills and towers of yarn,

      You're getting broker every warrant.

      You're the dark and hadn't opened,

      Oh to be so charmed and wanted.

      Jimmy Slitheted,

      But I caught him creeping in the forest,

      Well, done, Harper—

      Now you've got yourself a story

      Jimmy Slithered, but that's good—

      I had him at the fortress,

      And all our audience would want

      Is fourth wall being broken.

      So here fals the house of cards!

      The house of cards

      The house of cards.

      And here folds the broken hand—

      The broken hand.

      The broken hand.

      And here calls the shattered wand,

      The crypted want,

      The shadowed trumpet horn, there!

      And there upon the hill,

      There did I grasp and fall to follow,

      Though the crown had not the king,

      The ground was sure to've caught him!

      And so I clasped with all my might and grip,

      The humble role of which that is

      This,

      Unrolled and uttered:

      Feast of kings,

      Be you what may of Prince and time and also my own brotherhood and making,

      There is, shadowed in my own dear marker,

      Yet another coming death upon us!

      How now, my ritual, of that and thy and they and I,

      • To this my mark,
      • And so I sang as this does not a number—

        My posture does find comfort here and tie my breath to grass from under,

        Striped and torn my cloth, as does in this my fortune gathers;

        There my fate and here to all, as wind becomes her mother,

        And though I call to all, but one I am,

        And then another.

        The sound is weaponized to induce sleep deprivation and psychological attrition, dismantling of their ego and will to live, orchestrated by a hostile state apparatus.

        The antagonist in this piece is 'The Institution'—a deep state that views multicultural intellectualism as a threat.

        The story dramatizes over time the invisible mechanisms (the 'Deep State') that enforce racial hierarchy and and psychological genocide, weaponizing broken social systems and unfounded psychological practices as biological weapons.

        This is a living document.

        In the event of the artist's silence or unnatural death, this text serves as evidence of the psychological siege endured from 2023-2025. It is a transcript of survival against a hostile state architecture.

        This project spans an unlimited multiprojectoral arc of over two years of chronic violence, reaching into historical and theatrical projections and parallels over the all documented records of human existence through time and space.

          All with a side of oxygen.

          sometimes it doesn't really matter

          Who the dialogue comes out of

          The whole point

          Is to put the art back into art projects

          Cause we all know it's been constructed

          And commercialized

          To the point of destruction

          And almost no promise

          For independent artists at all.

          So who is it with CUBE?

          Could be me.

          Could be you.

          Could be U—

          If it's not,

          It was all just a long lost passion project

          Yeah, yours, but she's a danger to humanity.

          Yeah, mine but I'm an honest hybrid horrid hunter.

          On time?

          I just got it at Sephora.

          On time,

          Like I never even got that.

          I want to be loved just to be looked at

          But since in this life I can't turn the clock back

          I've discovered it's hell that my body was born as.

          Prod. By Blū Tha Gürū

          I would think it psychosomatic, but in less than 24 hours of restarting my vitamin regimen, my mood was so improved that I could not for a second overlook that without taking vitamins, I was missing something. Even if my newly concocted super-juice recipes were putting a curb in my abdominal muscles that even I was sure didn't entirely belong there, pairing this development with the Peloton, it was a long and diagonal, out-of-sorts thing that stuck out as if it was on somebody else's body and not mine. Still, I had to deal with the heavy weight of the drooping skin and belly that hung as if it very much did belong to me but wasn't budging, despite my attempts at a flat stomach and having been so well overstretched at one point by medical obesity and double occupancy that it was, at the very least to say, insurgically impossible. However, my brain went on having ways of wrapping my mind around this—that the rest of my body was quite slim, and even on some days seeming petite, were it not for my massive thighs, which also seemed to have sported a curve to them which was almost attractive, especially well-dressed.

          But the fun of it was, I wasn't exceptionally well-dressed, because I hadn't wanted to be. In fact, I was under obligation always to be about in the men's clothes I'd found because they were designer, and it was even something like a fashion statement that I dressed this grotesquely and in overlarge articles because of the astounding amount of weight I'd lost and the strange way my body seemed to be taking an athletic shape. Still, there was this factor that I was actually always somehow in an excruciating amount of pain, especially waking up, and though some of that I would have applied to being psychosomatic—in just that it was the pure stress of the disembodied torture I was undergoing in one way or another—whether anybody would have admitted it or not, or whether or not the unknown parties in question were going to be justified for it, I still hadn't an idea or thought as to what my unstructured purpose was.

          And though I sat beautifully controlled into doing music as a default, I was looking at the numbers, and the massive amount of people doing remarkably well because they could afford to do so, or were lucky, or were unbearably beautiful and so could do anything they wanted, and I too much so was not that. In fact, it was almost by design my failure and my constant struggle that even the universe seemed to look down upon me in such a way that it pitied me in a harrowing attempt at karmic justice done for the seeming evil and harsh things being done. It was true that someone had set out to torture me, and this might have once been the way of the illuminated artist and tortured soul; however, having taken so metaphorically into my own boat such heavy water of grief and loss, and drowning, I was sinking into the natural ocean of monstrous storms my body was saying in so many ways it could do no more.

          My mind was strong—and I could take the torture for innumerable amounts of time without becoming so much more frustrated than to just stop, or start heavy breathing, or even compulsively masturbate until one world faded deeply into another and I just didn't care. But realistically, the things that were being done pointed at a strategic and tactical, military-trained psychological governing of my own autonomy. And because I knew this, I also knew whoever was responsible was more than capable of covering their tracks to the point of disappearance—an inescapable hell of unseen trauma. The basis of it was that if I raised my concerns with any law enforcement or police, I was just as often ignored, ridiculed, or worse—thought of as symptomatic of some psychological condition I well knew and understood I did not have, all because what I did seem to possess—this undying force of color and creative ingenuity that could not quite be captured or marketed to improve the bankbook of others with a sudden onset—was unacceptable in such a way that I could become some sort of object that was in no way useful besides to experiment and then observe what I might become next, all the while knowing I would not and could not stay in one form or another too long without becoming such an obvious target.

          Hi, i'm Russell Brand.

          No, get out.

          I'm sorry,I— ?

          Get out, get out!

          I started talking to this guy from tinder

          Then I quickly realized he only texted me at like 3 in the morning, like “come over”

          So I started texting him really weird shit—

          Like really weird.

          Like, I would make sure before I sent it, I would re-read it and be like

          “Ya, that's weird.”

          “That's really weird.”

          Every time, just read it to myself and be like

          “Ya that's giving “you're psycho”

          Right off the bat.

          Kate Winslet is so good at late night.

          She talks mad slow and answers every open ended question with a paragraph of thoughtless nonsense— finally, at the end of the paragraph, she answers the question in yes or no fashion; in this sense, you've completely forgotten the question through redirection. This has taken nearly five minutes.

          Genius.

          Amidst a story, she begins to slowly decrechendo until she's murmuring in a near whisper so you really have to try to pay attention to what she's saying, which is almost nothing. So considerably nothing, that you lose thought in trying to grasp and accept the words— this is excellent banter, because of course, she isn't really saying anything. This has taken another five minutes.

          KIMMEL

          Because! My audience loves me. They want to see me— they have to like me!

          So?

          KIMMEL

          These people don't know who I am. They don't want to see me—and there's a good chance, they won't like me at all.

          …this is how you spend your free time?

          KIMMEL

          —and some of my vacation days!

          Jesus.

          KIMMEL

          Yeah. I'm not alright!

          How much does this office space cost?

          KIMMEL

          You wouldn't like it. And—I take very limited insurance.

          Did you…study dentistry, at all, at any point?

          KIMMEL

          Not at all—

          Oh, Jesus.

          KIMMEL

          But Claude might have for a short time— online.

          These degrees look legitimate.

          KIMMEL

          He was a really good guy.

          Wait. What.

          [a rubber glove snaps]

          KIMMEL

          If you'll excuse me, I have an appointment coming in at 2:30.

          …you're kidding me.

          KIMMEL

          I'm not—and she's always early. Get out.

          Gladly.

          He opens the door and leads him out of the office, looking startled startled and shaking his head.

          KIMMEL

          Good afternoon, Mrs. Evanston.

          Perhaps I was just looking for something and my brain saw what it wanted to— but it kept coming around in ways that were stranger and stranger, and I couldn't explain the thought of it, like I was connected to something.

          Jimmy Slithered.

          But it's okay,

          Cause I hate to see him prosper.

          Wait a minute?

          Did it enter for a second in your head to what had happened?

          Very obviously is it just exactly as you'd imagined.

          Wait a moment;

          Give a little gift for winter's entrance—

          Suddenly you're hating Christmas,

          Just infected with this sort of hatred

          That's been creeping up on them for centuries.

          Very well, then Skrillex.

          Very well, played ventriloquist act at the Rock

          And how hardened are you, the heart of all non immortal and broken?

          Are you succumbed to never wonder either?

          Cratered.

          Disrespect and spills of want,

          Spools and spills and towers of yarn,

          You're getting broker every warrant.

          You're the dark and hadn't opened,

          Oh to be so charmed and wanted.

          Jimmy Slitheted,

          But I caught him creeping in the forest,

          Well, done, Harper—

          Now you've got yourself a story

          Jimmy Slithered, but that's good—

          I had him at the fortress,

          And all our audience would want

          Is fourth wall being broken.

          So here fals the house of cards!

          The house of cards

          The house of cards.

          And here folds the broken hand—

          The broken hand.

          The broken hand.

          And here calls the shattered wand,

          The crypted want,

          The shadowed trumpet horn, there!

          And there upon the hill,

          There did I grasp and fall to follow,

          Though the crown had not the king,

          The ground was sure to've caught him!

          And so I clasped with all my might and grip,

          The humble role of which that is

          This,

          Unrolled and uttered:

          Feast of kings,

          Be you what may of Prince and time and also my own brotherhood and making,

          There is, shadowed in my own dear marker,

          Yet another coming death upon us!

          How now, my ritual, of that and thy and they and I,

          • To this my mark,
          • And so I sang as this does not a number—

            My posture does find comfort here and tie my breath to grass from under,

            Striped and torn my cloth, as does in this my fortune gathers;

            There my fate and here to all, as wind becomes her mother,

            And though I call to all, but one I am,

            And then another.

            "Psycho-Acoustic Weaponry" or "Havana Syndrome symptoms."

            The Frame: The protagonist is subjected to "noise harassment"—a tactic dramatized here but rooted in the known reality of tenant displacement and "psychological attrition." The narrative depicts a process of "Soul Murder" ( also known as spiritual warfare) orchestrated by a hostile apparatus.

            The antagonist is "The Institution," representing deep-state mechanisms that view multicultural intellectualism as a threat.

            The story allegorically dramatizes the invisible mechanisms that enforce racial hierarchy, depicting how broken social systems weaponize psychological practices against the individual.

            The following is a creative non-fiction horror manifesto regarding the psychological assassination of a multicultural American artist. It documents—through the lens of Afro-Surrealism—how modern surveillance technology and sonic harassment are experienced by the targeted individual.

            As it stands It has become a modern sequel which mirrors the civil rights struggles of the 1960s, set in the present day.

            "The protagonist is being subjected to 'noise harassment'—a known tactic used by landlords and corrupt entities to displace tenants.

            The sound is weaponized to induce sleep deprivation and psychological attrition, dismantling of their ego and will to live, orchestrated by a hostile state apparatus.

            The antagonist in this piece is 'The Institution'—a deep state that views multicultural intellectualism as a threat.

            The story dramatizes over time the invisible mechanisms (the 'Deep State') that enforce racial hierarchy and and psychological genocide, weaponizing broken social systems and unfounded psychological practices as biological weapons.

              For a dollar,

              Now articulate your face muscles.

              My wat.

              Now you're bar banned.

              I had this at a festival once.

              What is it?

              A “whore salad”

              …

              All with a side of oxygen.

              Now you're in a tunnel.

              (A tunnel, a scone and a croissant)

              Now you're worse, warthog, immortal

              (Call your dad back,

              You're a bad son.)

              Now I'm out in the canyon

              With Chester McBadBat

              I got chest hair,

              And a straight out of the badlands

              Yes, I did mention this to my cousin Evan,

              But why ask that?

              So you heard everything I thought?

              Mmhmm.

              Hard times.

              —and everyone else?

              What is it like to have love man?

              I been locked out

              I'm a rock addict,

              But I'm damned now

              How's that fountain coming along?

              Whose here?

              Not that guy!

              Four more beers?

              I just realized I never ever bought mine;

              I always had a tough guy.

              Box.

              What?

              Fight!

              I'm Eurovision

              And a hard remix—

              Ten minutes in and I realize I've already heard this.

              Oh yea,

              This

              Golden band of art, love and protection

              Perfection.

              Ohshea, shit!

              Who invited you?

              I got a 311 from Questlove!!

              Is that a beeper?!

              CUBE

              Since when are we on a first name basis?

              It would be weird to call you “ICE CUBE”

              Why's that?

              You. know?

              [the beeper goes off three more times]

              CUBE

              oh shit!

              What?!

              CUBE

              Nothin! Where the yard at?!

              sometimes it doesn't really matter

              Who the dialogue comes out of

              The whole point

              Is to put the art back into art projects

              Cause we all know it's been constructed

              And commercialized

              To the point of destruction

              And almost no promise

              For independent artists at all.

              So who is it with CUBE?

              Could be me.

              Could be you.

              Could be U—

              If it's not,

              It was all just a long lost passion project

              A collective God Complex.

              Give myself a hug

              Cause nobody else will

              God gave my case a Grace

              Cause somebody lost Will.

              Oh, Karen.

              Come, heart attack.

              Come karma,

              Come hot dogs

              Come Christmas time at the Plaza

              Come on, hard death.

              Come on.

              Nah, Equinox.

              Alright.

              Yards.

              Now you're in a tunnel

              Does your heart hurt?

              (You should clutch it.)

              Put your patchwork in a hard drive

              This is hard times,

              You can't come back.

              O!

              But they do take dear DRATCH and run with it!

              I go run along to Corrections,

              And ginger snaps for crosswords

              On hard workers

              So fax the whole document!

              Do you know what?

              Horcruxes!

              Hot lunches, yuck.

              Hockey!

              I want off this planet so bad

              I cross cross my fingers at crosswalks

              And oncoming trains but–

              Don't look either way before I walk.

              So pull a shotgun at all that

              I was one strong donkey before I got one address. Now I just redress the cause

              All I want is my bundle back.

              Yuck!

              Care for it at all?

              Yeah, yours, but she's a danger to humanity.

              Yeah, mine but I'm an honest hybrid horrid hunter.

              On time?

              I just got it at Sephora.

              On time,

              Like I never even got that.

              I want to be loved just to be looked at

              But since in this life I can't turn the clock back

              I've discovered it's hell that my body was born as.

              — I discovered it's hell that my body was born as.

              Of course. Electromagnetic signaling

              Of course.

              I told you this had gone strange.

              Severely. Now how do I explain from this time how to get back to our time If there's no direct translation between our language and that one?

              Maybe you can't explain it.

              These are hard facts.

              So I suggest the use of highly trained telepaths.

              That far back?

              These things are possibly connected even in this time, theoretically using our past; I might suggest Telesynthesis— considering these planetary electromagnetics to which this entire planet is hardwired.

              Prod. By Blū Tha Gürū

              I would think it psychosomatic, but in less than 24 hours of restarting my vitamin regimen, my mood was so improved that I could not for a second overlook that without taking vitamins, I was missing something. Even if my newly concocted super-juice recipes were putting a curb in my abdominal muscles that even I was sure didn't entirely belong there, pairing this development with the Peloton, it was a long and diagonal, out-of-sorts thing that stuck out as if it was on somebody else's body and not mine. Still, I had to deal with the heavy weight of the drooping skin and belly that hung as if it very much did belong to me but wasn't budging, despite my attempts at a flat stomach and having been so well overstretched at one point by medical obesity and double occupancy that it was, at the very least to say, insurgically impossible. However, my brain went on having ways of wrapping my mind around this—that the rest of my body was quite slim, and even on some days seeming petite, were it not for my massive thighs, which also seemed to have sported a curve to them which was almost attractive, especially well-dressed.

              But the fun of it was, I wasn't exceptionally well-dressed, because I hadn't wanted to be. In fact, I was under obligation always to be about in the men's clothes I'd found because they were designer, and it was even something like a fashion statement that I dressed this grotesquely and in overlarge articles because of the astounding amount of weight I'd lost and the strange way my body seemed to be taking an athletic shape. Still, there was this factor that I was actually always somehow in an excruciating amount of pain, especially waking up, and though some of that I would have applied to being psychosomatic—in just that it was the pure stress of the disembodied torture I was undergoing in one way or another—whether anybody would have admitted it or not, or whether or not the unknown parties in question were going to be justified for it, I still hadn't an idea or thought as to what my unstructured purpose was.

              And though I sat beautifully controlled into doing music as a default, I was looking at the numbers, and the massive amount of people doing remarkably well because they could afford to do so, or were lucky, or were unbearably beautiful and so could do anything they wanted, and I too much so was not that. In fact, it was almost by design my failure and my constant struggle that even the universe seemed to look down upon me in such a way that it pitied me in a harrowing attempt at karmic justice done for the seeming evil and harsh things being done. It was true that someone had set out to torture me, and this might have once been the way of the illuminated artist and tortured soul; however, having taken so metaphorically into my own boat such heavy water of grief and loss, and drowning, I was sinking into the natural ocean of monstrous storms my body was saying in so many ways it could do no more.

              My mind was strong—and I could take the torture for innumerable amounts of time without becoming so much more frustrated than to just stop, or start heavy breathing, or even compulsively masturbate until one world faded deeply into another and I just didn't care. But realistically, the things that were being done pointed at a strategic and tactical, military-trained psychological governing of my own autonomy. And because I knew this, I also knew whoever was responsible was more than capable of covering their tracks to the point of disappearance—an inescapable hell of unseen trauma. The basis of it was that if I raised my concerns with any law enforcement or police, I was just as often ignored, ridiculed, or worse—thought of as symptomatic of some psychological condition I well knew and understood I did not have, all because what I did seem to possess—this undying force of color and creative ingenuity that could not quite be captured or marketed to improve the bankbook of others with a sudden onset—was unacceptable in such a way that I could become some sort of object that was in no way useful besides to experiment and then observe what I might become next, all the while knowing I would not and could not stay in one form or another too long without becoming such an obvious target.

              LEGAL NOTICE / ARTIST STATEMENT Project: The Festival Project ™ (Season 12) Genre: Speculative Auto-Ethnography / Social Surrealism

              Disclaimer: This document is a work of creative non-fiction and political satire. While inspired by the author's lived experiences with systemic oppression, housing displacement, and surveillance, the narrative employs stylized fragmentation, stream-of-consciousness, and metaphor to dramatize the psychological impact of these events.

              The "characters" and "dialogue" herein are artistic devices used to critique historical and modern power structures. This text should be viewed as a performative artistic expression protected under the First Amendment, and not as a literal transcript of clinical psychosis or a formal sworn affidavit.

              This is a character study of 'Chroma111,' the collective artworks of a musician living in a dystopian surveillance state.

              The erratic language is a stylistic choice to represent the character's psychological deterioration under systemic oppression.

              All characters appearing in this work are fictitious. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental.

              The Frame: The protagonist is subjected to "noise harassment"—a tactic dramatized here but rooted in the known reality of tenant displacement and "psychological attrition." The narrative depicts a process of "Soul Murder" ( also known as spiritual warfare or sociopolitical targeting) orchestrated by a hostile apparatus.

              The antagonist is "The Institution," representing deep-state mechanisms that view multicultural intellectualism as a threat.

              The story allegorically dramatizes the invisible mechanisms that enforce racial hierarchy, depicting how broken social systems weaponize psychological practices against the individual.

              Artist's Note:

              This is a living document. In the event of the artist's silence or unnatural death, this text serves as an artistic testament to the psychological siege endured from to 2023-2025. It is a creative record of survival against a hostile state architecture.

              The following is a creative non-fiction horror manifesto regarding the psychological assassination of a multicultural American artist. It documents—through the lens of Afro-Surrealism—how modern surveillance technology and sonic harassment are experienced by a targeted individual.

              As it stands, It has become a modern sequel which adequately and astonishingly mirrors the civil rights struggles of the 1960s, set in the present day.

              "The protagonist is being subjected to 'noise harassment'—a known tactic used by landlords and corrupt entities to displace tenants for financial and political gain.

              The sound is weaponized to induce sleep deprivation and psychological attrition, dismantling of their ego and will to live, orchestrated by a hostile state apparatus.

              The story dramatizes over time the invisible mechanisms (the 'Deep State') that enforce racial hierarchy and and psychological genocide, weaponizing broken social systems and unfounded psychological practices as biological weapons.

              This is a living document.

              In the event of the artist's silence or unnatural death, this text serves as evidence of the psychological siege endured from 2023-2025. It is a transcript of survival against a hostile state architecture.

              This project spans an unlimited multiprojectoral arc of over two years of chronic tactical violence, reaching into historical and theatrical projections and parallels over the all documented records of human existence through time and space.

                You. know?

                [the beeper goes off three more times]

                CUBE

                oh shit!

                What?!

                CUBE

                Nothin! Where the yard at?!

                sometimes it doesn't really matter

                Who the dialogue comes out of

                The whole point

                Is to put the art back into art projects

                Cause we all know it's been constructed

                And commercialized

                To the point of destruction

                And almost no promise

                For independent artists at all.

                So who is it with CUBE?

                Could be me.

                Could be you.

                Could be U—

                If it's not,

                It was all just a long lost passion project

                A collective God Complex.

                Give myself a hug

                Cause nobody else will

                God gave my case a Grace

                Cause somebody lost Will.

                Oh, Karen.

                Come, heart attack.

                Come karma,

                Come hot dogs

                Come Christmas time at the Plaza

                Come on, hard death.

                Come on.

                Hard Rock Hotel?

                Nah, Equinox.

                Alright.

                Hudson.

                Yards.

                Now you're in a tunnel

                Does your heart hurt?

                (You should clutch it.)

                Put your patchwork in a hard drive

                This is hard times,

                You can't come back.

                O!

                But they do take dear DRATCH and run with it!

                I go run along to Corrections,

                And ginger snaps for crosswords

                On hard workers

                So fax the whole document!

                Do you know what?

                Horcruxes!

                Hot lunches, yuck.

                Hockey!

                I want off this planet so bad

                I cross cross my fingers at crosswalks

                And oncoming trains but–

                Don't look either way before I walk.

                So pull a shotgun at all that

                I was one strong donkey before I got one address. Now I just redress the cause

                All I want is my bundle back.

                Yuck!

                Care for it at all?

                Yeah, yours, but she's a danger to humanity.

                Yeah, mine but I'm an honest hybrid horrid hunter.

                On time?

                I just got it at Sephora.

                On time,

                Like I never even got that.

                I want to be loved just to be looked at

                But since in this life I can't turn the clock back

                I've discovered it's hell that my body was born as.

                — I discovered it's hell that my body was born as.

                Such a problem when you know

                That even the great Rosie O'Donnell once wanted blue eyes.

                Now I forget where I trailed off…

                What a drawback.

                I'm all out of patience.

                Crypto, I tip toe now over eggshells

                No home for her

                Hard times

                And hard times.

                No code offered,

                No I don't fall for that'd

                But where's the snowfall over all the rot out back?

                Hard times.

                Hard times.

                Hard times.

                As the bell tolls

                And the well swells whole

                And the umpire does rack them

                Up;

                Nobody works harder than

                Hard times

                Hard times

                Hard times.




                Yeah, that's four Aces

                Up, Diamond.

                Run for your forks and your knives

                And your daughters and mothers and father

                And home family comfort

                And cufflinks and loafers,

                And sport coats and

                Your life.

                Of course. Electromagnetic signaling

                Of course.

                I told you this had gone strange.

                Severely. Now how do I explain from this time how to get back to our time If there's no direct translation between our language and that one?

                Maybe you can't explain it.

                These are hard facts.

                So I suggest the use of highly trained telepaths.

                That far back?

                These things are possibly connected even in this time, theoretically using our past; I might suggest Telesynthesis— considering these planetary electromagnetics to which this entire planet is hardwired.

                Your God complex? I know all about that.

                Perhaps it's not a complex.

                But a ‘gauntlet'?

                REBEL1.

                Prod. By Blū Tha Gürū

                I would think it psychosomatic, but in less than 24 hours of restarting my vitamin regimen, my mood was so improved that I could not for a second overlook that without taking vitamins, I was missing something. Even if my newly concocted super-juice recipes were putting a curb in my abdominal muscles that even I was sure didn't entirely belong there, pairing this development with the Peloton, it was a long and diagonal, out-of-sorts thing that stuck out as if it was on somebody else's body and not mine. Still, I had to deal with the heavy weight of the drooping skin and belly that hung as if it very much did belong to me but wasn't budging, despite my attempts at a flat stomach and having been so well overstretched at one point by medical obesity and double occupancy that it was, at the very least to say, insurgically impossible. However, my brain went on having ways of wrapping my mind around this—that the rest of my body was quite slim, and even on some days seeming petite, were it not for my massive thighs, which also seemed to have sported a curve to them which was almost attractive, especially well-dressed.

                But the fun of it was, I wasn't exceptionally well-dressed, because I hadn't wanted to be. In fact, I was under obligation always to be about in the men's clothes I'd found because they were designer, and it was even something like a fashion statement that I dressed this grotesquely and in overlarge articles because of the astounding amount of weight I'd lost and the strange way my body seemed to be taking an athletic shape. Still, there was this factor that I was actually always somehow in an excruciating amount of pain, especially waking up, and though some of that I would have applied to being psychosomatic—in just that it was the pure stress of the disembodied torture I was undergoing in one way or another—whether anybody would have admitted it or not, or whether or not the unknown parties in question were going to be justified for it, I still hadn't an idea or thought as to what my unstructured purpose was.

                And though I sat beautifully controlled into doing music as a default, I was looking at the numbers, and the massive amount of people doing remarkably well because they could afford to do so, or were lucky, or were unbearably beautiful and so could do anything they wanted, and I too much so was not that. In fact, it was almost by design my failure and my constant struggle that even the universe seemed to look down upon me in such a way that it pitied me in a harrowing attempt at karmic justice done for the seeming evil and harsh things being done. It was true that someone had set out to torture me, and this might have once been the way of the illuminated artist and tortured soul; however, having taken so metaphorically into my own boat such heavy water of grief and loss, and drowning, I was sinking into the natural ocean of monstrous storms my body was saying in so many ways it could do no more.

                My mind was strong—and I could take the torture for innumerable amounts of time without becoming so much more frustrated than to just stop, or start heavy breathing, or even compulsively masturbate until one world faded deeply into another and I just didn't care. But realistically, the things that were being done pointed at a strategic and tactical, military-trained psychological governing of my own autonomy. And because I knew this, I also knew whoever was responsible was more than capable of covering their tracks to the point of disappearance—an inescapable hell of unseen trauma. The basis of it was that if I raised my concerns with any law enforcement or police, I was just as often ignored, ridiculed, or worse—thought of as symptomatic of some psychological condition I well knew and understood I did not have, all because what I did seem to possess—this undying force of color and creative ingenuity that could not quite be captured or marketed to improve the bankbook of others with a sudden onset—was unacceptable in such a way that I could become some sort of object that was in no way useful besides to experiment and then observe what I might become next, all the while knowing I would not and could not stay in one form or another too long without becoming such an obvious target.
