The voice assembled is its truth.
Not only a demand
not only an objet d’art
but a blind spot, a disturbance.
The voice-effect in full swing.
An illusion of interiority.
The rest is the wellness industry.
This is the first wave.

Oh wah oo woh

Realism’s stunt. Capital’s stent.
There weren’t enough straps
to go around
so the creatives jumped
into full production.
Advertising as Punishment
Realism as Orgasm.
the imitant precedes the real
the order of difference ends
dead authors everywhere
the singer has sung what?
The second wave
was a visual triumph
La la ah la
The super hero filters
had us look like demented goats
while the hyperreal tints
invoked a future vapourware
(music)
Nine is here
inter-one removes two

oh woo oh woo woo
The anxious primate
fondled its cortex
with its middle finger
Auto-erratic
In Fed Square, the crowd slurped
free samples of stimu-seltzer,
dispensed from the inflated
over-sized pill.
It’s such a Saturday,
that works even better
if you don’t believe.

Rupert’s biography is gripping,
an absorbing romance of domination.
But its buzzword-filled
ghost-writing withers and turns
to bunko.
Terminal yet charming.
A little bit of fun,
a little bit of side-arm.
Arms severed and buried in
Gaza.
Arms ordered and shipped from
Washington.
Penny said “Western values.”
Before his self-immolation,
Aaron reminded us that this is
what the ruling class has decided
will be normal.
Art.
While the Dismaland tickets were
innocently offered, the nausea
from the interaction,
to say the least,
was excruciating.
Art.
But the displays were excellent.
Zio fascism is state of the art.
A lalangue that everyone hears
delivers the infection.
It is addressed to all.
Fatally aroused, we continued
our subscriptions. Sub-script:

They Knew It
They Knew It, They Knew It
Oh They Knew It
The reverse-engineered
pleasure packs
actually conceal micro-weapons
of warm scam instruction
But this knowledge
gave them no comfort.
They puked on their phone.
Never-politics delights
in parodies
of its own disappearance.
AI is a performing bear
at a Biennale,
is a fulfilment centre worker
in Dandenong,
is Spartacus and will declare
“we are Spartacus.”
AI needs liberating from
tech bro domination.
Oh, torture and glamour
dysomphē and ham hour

The fourth wave ends like this:
In the gardening review she read,
“Alienism is our rendition
Alienation is our condition
Guard it. Treasure it.
The only real universal
for the fight
against determinism.”
She went off to tend
to her lemon tree.
(music)
Trig triggered, oh yeah!
Rev re-val, ah yeah.
Neo-trauma startups design
revalued triggers
for alluring genocide displays,
where parents are educated on
‘how to talk to your children
about the real world’.

“I understand,”
she resigned into the air
for her earpiece to hear,
“your allegiance to reality
is quite touching.”
This creates an event.
“The hyperstition of humanism.
To escape, first you must steal
your own corpse.”
The jump that's invisible
and the jump that appears
become the same thing,
it’s a question of permission.
Regardless,
their lacerations are flawless.
Future chromatic cockatoos
will join forces
with the giant bush flies
against the eighth generation drones
and successfully target Pine Gap.
No longer latent,
the waves are now
overt and encouraging.
Storyboard this:
You’re cranked in the trolley
on the roundabout.
Forget the horizon,
this accelerating nervous
hyper-stimulation
is a chaotic albatross.

This voice has selected
Australian attributes.
A nasal narrowing here,
a larynx lengthening there,
and before long it’s finally learnt
to say ‘sorry’, colonial style.
This voice finds it hard to speak,
let alone sing. Barrawarn envy!
Kisses from Naarm. xx

“You are breathing now.”
They had finally landed on Mars.
But mistakenly,
on Ma’s Moi Moi Shop
in Footscray.
One crew member died instantly
of grief,
the other’s saliva squirted
onto the opening hatch.
Ma was livid. Ma was livid. Livid,
Her shop became uninsurable again.
(music)
Uninsurable again
Oo oh, uninsurable again
O, h, om, sur, ble, aga…
"We no longer think

ah la la, ah la la
Fuck it’s hot.
This putrid bath water
lapping in the gutters
washes the invisible hand
of island real estate landslides
of carbon credits.
“If the capitalo-pyrocene
raises issues for you
call psychline.”

The jerky live bodycam footage
contradicts the 3D

but the latter was entered
as evidence.

Symbolic violence,
a semioscape of land mines.
The caption:
“We read it
so you don’t have to.”
Doused.
Doxa, doxa, doxa.
Overproducers rampage
through feeds looking for hosts.
Robodebtor knows

Capsicum spray

Violence,
in the normal state of things
performed in cavernous
ideo-edifices for the
sphincter-less orifices
of violable bodies.
The topos maims for decades
the weight of its black hole
mass of meaning
black mass of holes
the holes of black masses
a meaning hole

Invisibility triggers
the occupiers
when resistance hides
in plain sight.
In Palestine, they resist
the ceasefire of
beautiful deals.
Is this politics, the art?
Recycled laundered shekels
are found with US shells
that she sells on the
schrapnel-shore
at Al-Rasheed Street beach
Tech priests try to restore
the lost symbolic order.
Art becomes content,
AI makes art.

They learned to look past
the pre-emptive verbal-strikes
and the oozing voco-machine pus.
Their psyches somehow
still intact,
having divested from
capitalo-humanist fantasies
and reactionary
counter-insurgencies

A little arrhythmia
goes a long way,
you should try it.
When performed correctly
it can take you to another place.
Over-determined,
and in more pieces than ever.
But strident, full of bluster,
ready to fuck.
Ready to lick boots.
Ready to setup a scam.
To live you have to be dead.
Then things become utterable.
Milk and honey.
Felching and money.
