Title: Rhythms.
Post by: LMNO on June 17, 2011, 01:12:23 PM
In Curly's name, I bid you Joy.

In the rubble of the economic collapse, I bid you Joy.

Dance with me, dance at the crossroads, waiting for the Dark Man.

In the face of duplicity and political ambition, I bid you Joy.

Dance to the descending cadence of the stock market ticker.

As our Idols and Luminaries fall, I bid you Joy.

Dance among our culture's detritus.

Locking eyes with the depression and nausea of modern life, I bid you Joy.

Dance through the landmines of passive-aggressive family meals.

With your back up against the sun-speckled, bullet-ridden wall, I bid you Joy.

With a heart full of Joy, bring your boot down on your own neck.

Hurl yourself at the future, limbs flailing.

Dancing into the mouth of a gaping void, I bid you Joy.

Also, Hovercat's avatar is creeping me the fuck out.

This has the feel of a responsorial Psalm during Mass.

It made it all the more unsettling.

I like it a lot. Is there music to go with it yet?

Needs to be read in a raspy whisper over creepy ambient music.

Kopyleft - Feel free to record it.

And thanks for all the mittens... This was supposed to be a long rant about Joy and Curly, and how seeing the Spider doesn't mean being the Spider, that understanding the Horrible Truth doesn't mean a collapse into cynical apathy.

But this happened instead.

 :banana: Hell Yeah! I expected this place to have creative content, but damn. I could practically feel the boot falls and fraudulent electronic handshakes.  I got a feeling rather like acceleration and a ghostly idea about weaponizing happiness.  Thanks!
