"If Pessoa promoted Sebastianism, it's not because he believed in it but because he didn't." --Richard Zenith, intro to Fernando Pessoa: Selected Poems
"Call it unrest, maybe riots, but insurrection?"
"LICHTENBERG'S TWELVE with the tablecloth
inherited napkins—a
planet-greeting to
the language-towers everywhere
in the to-be-silenced-to-death sign-
zone.
Being
—no heaven is, no
earth, and the
memory of both extinguished
but for the one
ashtree-believing nuthatch—,
his
from the city-ramparts gathered
white comet.
A voice-rift, to
preserve him, in
the universe.
The redlorn of a
thought-
thread. The bur-
geoned laments
about it, the lament
below it—whose
sound?
With it—don't ask
where—
I nearly—
don't say where, when, again."
--Joris's Celan
"Pretty soon it’ll just be AI bots feeding AI slop to an audience of more AI bots."
