STARSHIP M’SIA 2010: an Excruciating Prose, Thankfully Brief, for our Painful Times
The trajectory is unequivocal. The data is hard and damning. Our resolve is soft and tepid. There is no doubt. We are in freefall into the singularity. Ass. Ey. Aye. Eff. You. Elle. The sickening mantra repeats in an endless wall of sound, a sex hex broadcast to nauseate streams of consciousness.

These donkeys of disaster. These clowns of calamity. Orchestrating dis-chord progressions and minor keys, drumming up paranoia, disinformation, misinformation, they weave a concerto that evokes the ghost of the Third Reich.
