Unterselfconsciousness

Wikipedia Poem, No. 985

automatic black curtain makes way for light within the system
for most of the art world’s subconscious — severe ghosts
pour through dreams with 16 inch kalashnikovs khan fiercely criticizes desire
examines the industrial printer of the black curtain
makes way for light herself the artist-activist now represents the system
at gagosian it’s hard to admit what she does for light the system infiltrates
dreams of the world’s subconscious khan examines the system
for the artist-activist the web of the art world’s humorous
political projects — objects of power — she’s the light within severe ghosts
dreams khan the art world’s unterselfconsciousness — her voice is different
from those of the living the armed ghosts the fierce critic
of her voice is a fierce critic of most artist-activists

the unsparing sky no one wants
the desires pressed against the roof
of her mouth that of the artist-activist
most of all the high severe ghosts
emigrating dreams of the fierce critic
her desires
examine the hidden bolshevik sky
no one wants — least of all
the art world’s subclass unconscious

Sets of dice (hakata) are the quintessential Shona instruments used to divine the source of illness or personal misfortune.
Mark Zuckerberg, 2019

this leather bag acts like a quadruped
marks pebbles – usually marks pebbles
perform as sheep or goats onto the plateau at the
metropolitan museum of aphroditerraneanism and
human travel they have athenian divination as needed

since extinction is a contact sport specific to
certain extant dialects and monographic citations
since according to powerful numbers
the metropolitan museum of aphroditerraneanism
and human travel pebbles contact ice near eastern africa

the practice specific to ghost numbers mark
these pebbles – usually ruling over – usually known
and performed near eastern african archaeological sites
is africa a jewish word the scholars render their research
from the shona people of travel scrawl maps into their altarpiece

after shuffling small bones or marking pebbles – usually marked pebbles
are either religion or needed in near-eastern archaeological sites
the twin of numbers the metropolitan museum
of aphroditerraneanism and human travel considers colored circles
with letters specific to certain talus of anterior history

this interpretation randomly casts or drawns from
the dice of the shona people of the fallen museum of
pessomancy considered by letters and bones to be ruled
from the altarpiece of the shona people of sheep and random
divination of persuasions specific to certain numerical sequences

shuffle then absorb archaeological sites thus bones
symbols religion dice laid out end to end retell a story
specific hakata foretell colonial histories the metropolitan
museum of quadrupeds dashes the highwater mark
an eruption of war with letters and thrones and goats

“For the entertainment of his guests, Nero would illuminate his whole garden with bodies of live Christians covered in burning oil and strung up on flaming crosses, crucified. At dinner he would have the Christians rubbed by his guards with aromatic herbs and garlic and sewn up into sacks and then they’d throw these sacks to the dogs.”

“That’s terrible.”

“It’s horrible.”

“Terrible, is what it is.”

Notes from Chicago

"A fleuron is a typographic element, or glyph, used 
either as a punctuation mark or as an ornament 
for typographic compositions. Fleurons are stylized 
forms of flowers or leaves; the term derives 
from the Old French word floron for flower. 
Robert Bringhurst in The Elements of Typographic Style 
calls the forms 'horticultural dingbats.' It is also known as 
a printers' flower, or more formally as an aldus leaf 
(after Italian Renaissance printer Aldus Manutius), hedera leaf, 
or simply hedera (ivy leaf) symbol."

"Alebrijes (Spanish pronunciation: [aleˈβɾixes]) are brightly colored 
Oaxacan-Mexican folk art sculptures of fantastical creatures. The first 
alebrijes, along with use of the term, originated with Pedro Linares. 
In the 1930s, Linares fell very ill and while he was in bed, 
unconscious, Linares dreamt of a strange place resembling a forest. 

There, he saw trees, animals, rocks, clouds that suddenly 
turned into something strange, some kind of animals, 
but, unknown animals. He saw a donkey with butterfly wings, 
a rooster with bull horns, a lion with an eagle head, 
and all of them were shouting one word, 'Alebrijes.' 

Upon recovery, he began recreating the creatures he saw 
in cardboard and papier-mâché and called them Alebrijes."

The greatest story ever told ... the woman who laid down
