there is something like loose damage around the eyes, seeped into bone marrow. the prison warriors which have guarded before with white tigers elevated above the ground in cages grown with emptiness. and in order to climb up high we have to survey the room braided with walls, and grown with emptiness. The walls resemble the second floor of an escher obelisk, but tiers added and aggrandized. the vanishing point of the world is around me on all sides. the roof is raised to resemble the sky, from which tumbles salvation in the form of a red airplane. It has been hours since, in order to free the prisoners, you braved lava and heights… In dreams, there is always a predator pressing in from behind, it fills the world with thrust scared into bravery. but the splendidness of the bravery is a fake. and in every pore of this dream world, is an eternal abyss, light. Maybe that is why everyone is singing the same song, they have stepped out of their dungeons, they have learned how to sit in trees, and they have stopped practicing the piano. In an airplane, we can get the best idea of what an “everyone” looks like. And we best defeat prisons when we inherit wings. Salvation in the form of flight. I wanted to run toward a roaring silence which would pulse my blood in suspension of flight. I wanted to sing my blood throwing it into the air, myself. But this kind of flying is blissful. I am too afraid of living this maximum self… with nothing to fight, only falling and falling in place. I liked it better when I was selfish!!! Can I say this? I liked it better when I was selfish. In my cloister reddened with struggle, I could say that while my masquerade erased the light from behind the pores of life, that my failure described pure forms… platonic willingness… and from inside the throat of a bended body, there is a labyrinth that i can run, one that i know will end in an ending whether i manage to get out or not.

Special Issue: Becoming-GirlDeleuze articulates the notion of becoming as existing through multiplicity and alliances, a process that does not have a beginning or end, but is always in-progress; becoming is, much like girlhood, intermezzo. Deleuze claims that “Girls do not…

Albert Camus by Cecil Beaton
Albert Camus (French pronunciation: [albɛʁ kamy] (listen); 7 November 1913 – 4 January 1960) was a French Algerian author, journalist, and key philosopher of the 20th-century. In 1949, Camus founded the Group for International Liaisons within the Revolutionary Union Movement, which was opposed to some tendencies of the Surrealist movement of André Breton.
Camus was awarded the 1957 Nobel Prize for Literature “for his important literary production, which with clear-sighted earnestness illuminates the problems of the human conscience in our times”. He was the second-youngest recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature, after Rudyard Kipling, and the first African-born writer to receive the award. He is the shortest-lived of any Nobel literature laureate to date, having died in an automobile accident just over two years after receiving the award.
Although often cited as a proponent of existentialism, the philosophy with which Camus was associated during his own lifetime, he rejected this particular label. In an interview in 1945, Camus rejected any ideological associations: “No, I am not an existentialist. Sartre and I are always surprised to see our names linked…”
Specifically, his views contributed to the rise of the philosophy known as absurdism. He wrote in his essay “The Rebel” that his whole life was devoted to opposing the philosophy of nihilism while still delving deeply into individual freedom.

“~~~florida nietzsche~~~
“Would that you dared to believe yourselves, in your “purity”; your revolting worm has crawled into god’s mask. Verily, you deceive with your “contemplation.” Zarathustra was once fooled by your godlike skins and did not realize that they were stuffed with snakes’ coils. I once fancied that I saw a god’s soul at play in your play, you pure perceivers. No better art I once fancied than your arts. Snakes’ filth and bad odors were concealed from me by the distance, and that the cunning of a lizard was crawling around lecherously”
”
~Thus spoke Zarathustra
