    Feng Smacko!
    The man is having a thought. The man in the man is having a thought on the bicycle. The man, having thought on the bicycle, is having a man. If the man thought that the man is having a man on the bicycle, it follows that hunger is having a thought on the man. The man entails, the bicycle is going to fast, and hunger has no hat. The man having a hat on the man in the man thought on the bicycle, but the hat has thought on the hunger.

    Q. What object is going too fast?

    A. The bicycle, made of wheels, is the outward form of the hat. If the hunger is fed the bicycle will have a thought. This entails the man, but the man is having a man, and the bicycle is a form, which is abomination. Having a man is yeast, which is hunger in the form of a hat. Hats, when going too fast, deposit bicycles into the man in the man. (This is called "having a thought.")

    Spuming glarish
    Creator wants. Creator wants me to be what? Brimful trench-feeding angler--oil company geological--Forming...

    I coagulated-in five years ago, vigore and yacto. He picked off the too-soon scabs. I've everywhered in dead clam tidepools, unclaimed teeth sideshows, corner pavement playgrounds, Creator put me on a survey. He's forgot his orbits, doctor's orders: nineteen epicycles for never forgiving ellipse's eccentricity, and a glass of water for me, thank you very much ;)

    Congratulations. Congrats! Creator, I, I, Creator, blankfocals, I. Around. Now we're closer to the mountains. The beatniks are always posthumous and fishing. Two trees never touching except from the same old factors. Silicalbzooey "WHY DO YOU SLEEP" to me! That's... right.

    Creator climbs onto rafters screaming "I want to look!" e.g. up with hollow man. We squirreling through angles and leap-up trap-dancing the no-pupils are staring, spagetti strings and slipping through soulfog. I must slap with apparatus. No-pupils watch its bones dry up, loose bowl-fillings crunch stuff. Try it: hide some gears in beret ashes. Creator sees but does not know he knows not to look.

    Creator--you're not waiting for a chemistry tutor. ARE you!

    Stupid Dumbheads: Subtextual reification in the work of C. Ombine.
    "Yer a doodoohead_Waaah be the change you want in the change find! chumpchumpchump. ([info]nothing [info]exceptional)

    BUT WE PLAY NICE in the sand_box"


    In this (meta)textual fragment we must first notice the role of formatting, that is, of the spatial arrangement of textual signifiers. The underscore separating "sand" from "box" is elliptical, with the words that belong in between these two "bookends" effaced so as to great a sort of faceless periphrasis. But these words (most likely "in the" or some variant) are unknown, uncertain and und(et)ermined, because the entire concatenation appears below the median line, signifying the average, the common, and by extension the mobile vulgus. (Certainly the spatial metaphor here is obvious.) The under-lines, rather than under-scores, on "nothing" and "exceptional" are indeed something exceptional, because their subtext is linked allusively (in deconstructive theory, this could refer to anything other than language) to "sand_box" (or "stand_box," a trope-in-itself whose social implications need no further embellishment)) so that the dissociated text is, to borrow from the Frankfurt School, ectopic.

    But the integral, or integrated, is, of course, the opposite of the derivative, and the citations of third-grade mass culture ("doodoohead," "chumpchump" -- the third repetition being purely empty, formulaic expression in the manner of a Rezitativ) are certainly that, or in other words, they tend (but without limitation) follow a principle of elusion. The sentiment thus expressed, or engaged, is timid and hard to follow; for this reason, the reader is thrown not into fusion but into the brig of con-fusion (to use a "pregnant" "expression"). Laurence McCall sees this as a reconstitution of the empty logo, or "logos" (cf. Reich, "Das obligate gespr´ch" in Living (P)arts Journal 21 (1977), or simply juxtapose "with" with "which" for a relatively proleptic effect at the same speed), and the relationship can thus be considered cubic. The repetition of "change" is also cubic, in that its two occurences define a linear relationship which can be extrapolated into three dimensions, but only with some fixed assumptions as to the spatiality of discourse. That is, "NICE" is respatialized by the sheer emptiness of its signification, and only a default claim (against itself) can imbue it with color in the "expressionistic" sense. Alternatively, Qabalistic methods might be employed.

    Nevertheless, it is important to keep in mind that "stupid," as a social construction, carries many of the same connotations as its integrated antithesis, "smart." By this logic, mass culture repairs itself through itself, just as the text "interprets" the reader (and the reference "decodes" the medium). The idea of a "dumbhead" is self-contradictory, and thus self-effacing: it might make more sense to speak of a "headdumb," if only for reasons of polarity (or "topos"). But (anti)constructivism does not anticipate such an exhumation for the course (of Theory or of theory), and the reader may as well discard such an "automated" maxim as irrelevant.

    Analysis, pt. 1
    1. "There's no excream for tea hats!"
    Here C. attempts to fuse a dila(pi)dated ice cream jingle with an image of ridicusilly British people. This recalls the kindergarten "finger good" (or "finger food" in stone dialects), as well as the pinky pointed outward to signify the linearity of space, reinforcing the "FINGER" metaphor that crops up again and again in this circle (whose diameter is pi, dilated).

    2. "My favorite dance-off is THIS FINGER watch me scald it up, haggle."
    By addressing the reader as "haggie," C. demonstrates his contempt for students at agricultural schools. However, he turns out not toby so high-class himself, since this entire line is a map whose territory is MAD Magazine's avian mascot, Flip the Bird. Cf. The Shins, "Mine's Not A High Horse," whose unprinted, well-nigh unprintable final lyric also cites this obscene gesture; and of course its reference to "drowning in holy water" recalls the baptism scene in Ibsen's The Cell, which the reader will surely have recognized as the referent of C.'s recent Prometheus drama, as demonstrated by the line "I like the way that 'silver' sounds when you press it." (In this case, the word "silver" represents fire -- since neither fire nor the word "silver" is actually silver -- and the idea of pressure represents the bringing-down-to-earth, a Frankfurtish packing-it-all-in, and so on.)

    3. "I drummed the waffle hors d'esert (cité des enfants FINGER) they call it a but it nevers."
    In this scene, C. entreats the reader to be his after-dinner mint ("d'esert," for example, clearly refers to Edgard Varèse's well-known piece Intégrales). This also explains the presence of some French words, whose meaning unfortunately remains unknown because the defining adjective, "FINGER," does not appear to have any meaning in French.


    4. "there it chèvres."
    Again man blames his goatish disposition on spherical predominants. Clearly a subtonic -- a double opposition to "domdominant" -- is in order.

    5. "So giles about it, househam?"
    "Giles" presumably refers to Giles Logout, a man with little gout despite his goutish disposition. But disposable or not, this man's name demonstrates his hard British earning, thus creating a full circle back to the tea-sipping phonies in Part 1. A "househam," further, represents at least a thousand words I was not counting on, but to make a long FINGER short, it is a perpendicularism to the "houseleek" on p. 23, which the Oxford English Dictionary defines -- OEDipally complex -- as a "jubarb, q.v." But "q.v." itself can refer to a sort of Jew barb, like that spanned in the recent comment (Anonymous Krzysztof: "Dude, that's so Jewish"), which is intended to cue ("q") vitriol ("v-trial") in the manner of George Car(o)lin(g). And while Giles Caroling and his brother George have little in common besides their deficiency in goutishness, their twin sister Eliza, by marrying a fool, managed to get "about it" (in the euphemistic sense) with three tons of flax. For further information on this topic, surmise.

    6. "Think we should sow the burnt earfering? What a magical earfering! I warmed it LASTFINGER."
    These three sentences break the circle. As a result the shape created is not so much a full circle as a full lasso, or perhaps a full crop. Mandelbrot, however, woudn't touch a ten-foot Pole (Anonymous Krzysztof) with a triggerfish.

    Verifying sour soup.
    I once took him a real different and way cool back. On to the Sarah who Lawrence called from inside a phonebooth. "Different" or "Train"? Reich station. If from that a new street was parallel parking to destroy the old highway, Goerge I saw to an awesomely inviting banquet. A side of "street" -- or a big beautiful roast. A lushly crisped wooded hickory. In residential zones, area isn't. I never felt him; that is, I never had him penetrated by a great whole dildo. New or network? Box of red-light streets? His behind? Well, Sarah and Lawrence punctured, and he had a "found object" -- a blister! More soup, pleasing my way berry. Back up. It was turned inside out, just to see. Be ready -- a big, long cock, wide, red, and roasted. Gorgeous as dead pig's end parts!

    An "O" for the past again; throw our hands against our heads and scream in immanent sorrow! (Then we'll have dynamic culture.)(The neighbors never knew that they found their pronoun trouble)
