"The two of us wrote Anti-Oedipus together. Since each of us was several, there was already quite a crowd. Here we have made use of everything that came within range, what was closest as well as farthest away. We have assigned clever pseudonyms to prevent recognition. Why have we kept our own names? Out of habit, purely out of habit. To make ourselves unrecognisable in turn. To render imperceptible, not ourselves, but what makes us act, feel, and think. Also because it's nice to talk like everybody else, to say the sun rises, when everybody knows it's only a manner of speaking. To reach, not the point where one no longer says I, but the point where it is no longer of any importance whether one says I. We are no longer ourselves. Each will know his own. We have been aided, inspired, multiplied."
-- G. Deleuze and F. Guattari, A Thousand Plateaus
we are at some sort of a milestone
having accumulated 500 sorties on this project
(so, half a millestone, then)
if there was a larger scheme of things (there isn't)
then this would be nothing in comparison to it
but i am on the side of volcanoes
and ash clouds
of banks that collapse -- not from rising tides
but from their sedentary state of over-obviousness
of voids in place of regimes
if more had to live without (extensively)
we'd all be living more within (intensively)
i am still whispering on the way to becoming... something
in the larger scream of things
when i get near that target i will know enough to
disengage the inertial guidance system
spiral in
too close
subordinate myself to a trajectory i cannot control
but also cannot abandon myself
to
we must arise again
in the archipelago of becoming
more missives will soon be launched at friendly territory,
their spiral paths signalling the death
of control tower thought
i am sound of mind,
i am sound of body
we are sound
