Xenon Mercurism is to write so as to obliterate the distinction between original & appropriated, computer & human generated; to paint so as to obliterate the distinction between human & animal* painted. We embrace the arbitrary as revelation.

To know that every 'I' is an imposture & an impasse. The pseudonym points away, toward freedom. Here blooms the soft green plum of poetry attained. Leave it alone.
