Empirical Media Theory: HOW THE POPE IS CHOSEN →
Any poodle under ten inches high is a toy.
Almost always a toy is an imitation
of something grown-ups use.
Popes with unclipped hair are called corded popes.
If a Pope’s hair is allowed to grow unchecked,

into long strands that look like ropes.

Keeping Things Whole
jenagail87:
In a field I am the absence of field. This is always the case. Wherever I am I am what is missing. When I walk I part the air and always the air moves in to fill the spaces where my body’s been. We all have reasons for moving. I move to keep things whole.

I believe there is something else
entirely going on but no single person can ever know it, so we fall in love.
It could also be true that what we use everyday to open cans was something much nobler, that we’ll never recognize.
I believe the woman sleeping beside me doesn’t care about what’s going on outside, and her body is warm with trust which is a great...

Heather Christle, Matthew Rohrer, Zachary Schomburg, and Matthew Zapruder talk about surrealism.
MZ: Basing the “hardness” or “softness” of surrealism on whether or not it challenges “poet-reader relations” and the “power relations of writing,” is not only ahistorical but beside the point….

Late at night in Oklahoma, a very small, an extremely small man ran across the road in front of my friend’s car. He does not doubt this is real, though the rest of us do, and it doesn’t bother him. He continues to paint portraits of astonishing trees each day and take long drives through the…

Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird
Wallace Stevens
I Among twenty snowy mountains, The only moving thing Was the eye of the blackbird.
II I was of three minds, Like a tree In which there are three blackbirds.
III The blackbird whirled in the autumn winds. It was a small part of…

A Disillusionment of Ten O'Clock
kitschy:
The houses are haunted By white night-gowns. None are green, Or purple with green rings, Or green with yellow rings, Or yellow with blue rings. None of them are strange, With socks of lace And beaded ceintures. People are not going To dream of baboons and periwinkles. Only, here and there, an old sailor, Drunk and asleep in his boots, Catches Tigers In red weather. ...

accidentalvter:
the drivers of automobiles have very little recourse or originality. when upset with another driver they often give him the FINGER. I have seen two adult men florid of face driving along giving each other the FINGER. well, we all know what this means, it’s no secret. still, this gesture is so overused it has lost most of its impact. some of the men who give the FINGER are...
