• And, in the future, while the dumb show of bohemianism plays itself out in the cookie cutter shape of the politically correct martyr/victim, aesthetic terrorists will not involve themselves in the dubious rewards of celebrity. The best of them will work alone, already a part of the enemy camp, and in chameleon-like style master the fifth-column algorithms to subvert the ancient regime. We won't know them by their name but their compensation will be to affect the outcome of the planet. Until then, there's a lot of work to be done.

• I am a dumb piece of meat
  and I rot everyday
  my flesh gives a rotting smell
  and people say it's the smell of life
  and they come to me
  and watch me rot
  and get happy and upset and annoyed and disgusted and maybe sometimes feel
  compassion
  but they don't realize they are rotting too.
