hungry angry lonely tired
how can you want your second cup of coffee when you still have one on the go
and why when you vacuum do you imagine that the rattle against the side of the pipe is some rare coin or diamond when you possess neither rare coins nor diamonds
and Wittgenstein said in 1922 that ethics and aesthetics are one and the same
it’s just aesthetics all the way down now
and what kind of ethics
yes life is tragic and it is beautiful
would you die for beauty?
and would you kill for it?
.
and if you stop doing almost anything then there is always sleep
perhaps the greatest proof for the existence of God
- the pied wagtail by the empty crates in the market
- all the faces
- everything else
and from a certain perspective
there is no experience
if you’ve tried something or not
everything has hooks
you can read about it
.
has everyone stopped being crazy yet?
paused
the magnifying glass, the black ant in the heart
you won’t find it
anymore than turning it on yourself
and you know so much of it is
laziness
the desire not to think
to feel better
to stay the guillotine
if you’re last, no one to decide
who operates the machine
and who perishes
.
and every age thinks this is all there is
and every age is present
every living thing its certainty
and every age its machines
