he played https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrYakf2cztM
All Thoughts are Prey to Some Beast and while it played he loaded it again https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrYakf2cztM
into a second youtube window then three minutes eight seconds into the first recording he began
it over itself thus creating All Thoughts are Prey to Zombies
he did this to celebrate W G
Sebalds revelation of submerged memories “submerged memories . . give . .
dreams their curious air of hyper-reality . . (hence) a pond becomes a lake, a
breeze becomes a storm, a handful of dust becomes a desert, a grain of sulphur in
the blood is a volcanic inferno” he also did this to celebrate his awakened walking episodes
compassed by bees in a sudden wildwind murmuration
oddfellows banging into his chest clinging to his tshirt crawling in his hair cradled
in the hollows of his throat his collarbones then shaking off their
confusion gathering their wits they went to the brisk swirl rising
joining their comrades the whole of
it perhaps fifteen second
then just outside Vons a grocerystore
its automatic slidingdoor entryway he sidestepped a behemoth who was oblivious of
him busying herself at freeing a pack of cigarettes from its cellophane bind in her singularity singlemindedness he saw her
in profile(what would Rembrandt have made of her) her multi-coloured hair sweated
pulled up and back(it was hot) her too-tight black athletic tshirt the tortured
smoke of her tattoos but it was just behind
her head mounted to the pale brown brick wall that captured the momentsaid it
all a sign advertising plants for
sale SUCCULLENT
he didnt think these memories
would reach submerged or sleep subliminally beg hyper-reality
they were riveted to the stiff fabric
of his consciousness and likely would remain for time to come it had
already been more than a week
he didnt need to close his
eyes to see them again vividly
