Appropriate this hotel room reeks of stale tobacco

WHEN WE CAME BACK — THE GOD WHISPERED — IN 7 YEARS EVERYTHING WILL CHANGE — 7 YEARS LATER OUR DAUGHTER WAS BORN

WHILE WE WERE COMPOSING THE PIECE BELOW — THIS ADVERTISEMENT ARRIVED UNBIDDEN — AS MY AUTOCORRECT GETS WORSE — THE CHATTEL MANAGER AI GETS BETTER AT CORRECTING WHAT THE AUTOCORRECT JUST CHANGED — INCORRECTLY

THE ‘REVIEW’ SURCHARGE
“There are days we cry at commercials
there are days we see everything 
                           as a confidence game
false supplicants for your attention” -- Doc Con, ACHTUNG BABE! A TIME
TRAVELERS GUIDE TO THE 21ST CENTURY’S: AMAZING RACE


it’s the time of year our ancestors hibernated -- not in the -- we are people of the BEAR way
     rather, in the way Gurdjieff says “I teach when it rains the pavement gets wet” of
                                  course,

accompanied by music and dance, if you could hear it, and MOVE IT< MOVE IT<MOVE IT
against the gentle pitter/patter
             as the dip, in the sidewalk fills with rain

this time of year, the rain will inevitably become ice, (for now) 
                                                                                  will become
a lawsuit, an AMERICAN living the DREAM by fat judicial paycheck, you’re either born
with it
         or you need to leverage THE ACCIDENT, (Virilio, P, Crepuscular Dawn)
                                                                            which long ago supplanted
         merit, this accident of your place/space of birth, an accidental parentage
         which, at this writing, is still needed, and failing all those things

there is the REVIEW surcharge, which is an organic (capital composting) 
                                                                                   result of the BRAND as
AN ARRANGEMENT of stories, both stated, implied and vibed, replacing
the merit myth with bernaysian propaganda, (A DERANGEMENT: to para-
phrase G again, we are subject
to forces that manifest as habits and attenuated desires),
                                                                     we can’t understand
 and it takes the rare individual
              to want to change, to be free. This can be assayed with only
               2 questions:

1 WHAT DO YOU WANT?
&
2 WHY DO YOU WANT IT?

these days when biology and self-governance are called into question, or repackaged
to be sold back at a premium, the natural response is to fight/flight questions
to ask, instead, for a review of your products, your services. (when your client/customers/
                                                                                                capital/ resource having 

                                                        bought
in bulk to preserve the sanctity of the dollar, to assure its sacrifice is
properly participatory, with luck, stained in blood (by fiat, of course) 
                                                                             DOUBLE the
             frequency of advertisement/chastisement
                better deals, lasting just a moment
                  YOU are a fool for not taking
                           ADVANTAGE -- no wonder
                                     (poverty/struggle/divergence)

AND SO NOW

               WE REVIEW, AND INCLUDE IN THE REVIEW THE SURCHARGE
                      WE NEED TO GO BACK TO SLEEP
                                         WE NEED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE HYPOCRISY
                                                 OF SLUMBER

at least that’s where we’re at -- we don’t want to tell you what to do
or be the SUFI who had to give up sweets, to pass on the message

Is not the pavement wet? Covered in flaked and frozen water?
IS’NT THIS TOO INFORMAL?

          hours before the sunrises, the streetlights, the ambient luminous pollution
          helps dim the stars despite the crisp/cold amplification
             (the heaviness of particles, driven down
                                                                             down)

          the reflected light creates yet another attenuated 

false dawn.

THERE IS NO WAY — UNLESS YOU WERE AN ENTITY OUTSIDE OF TIME — (YOU ARE) — THAT YOU COULD HAVE PREDICTED THIS ^ WOULD GROW FROM:

THIS (STRANGE TO SEE A FULL LITTLE FINGER)

FOR THE COST OF A DECENT CIGAR — YOU CAN SETTLE IN — HOLD AT BAY THE OFF GASSING OF OUR POLITICAL CLASS — OR PAY FOR A YEAR OF SOMEONE’S SUBSTACK WORK — GIVE THAT GIFT TO A STRANGER WHO THINKS THEY CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE

GET THE PITCHFORKS AND THE EARMUFFS — THE CULT MUSIC IS IN THERE!

Much love,
