IRC 2011 julu1 [sondheim@hidden-DF1EBA32.hsd1.co.comcast.net] has joined #cybermind <julu1> I'm here at last, thank you GOD! <julu1> At the moment, nothing but a blank screen against a background, what? <julu1> Burnished aluminum. So you might meet me here, Nikuko, if you have the time. <julu1> Then what? In 2011, avoiding everything but the UDP wirewaves. <julu1> I could pass you warez. <julu1> I could pass. <julu1> I could send secrets. <julu1> Secrets could disappear. <julu1> You could see my flesh and bone. <julu1> Now you see my bone. <julu1> In the trade we say "bone only." <julu1> It's different than off the grid. <julu1> The grid breaks down anyway - UDP, netsplit, the whole nine yards. <julu1> I know you're listening to me because I know you're here because someone is typing this. <julu1> There are bones making letters, molecules on the move - <julu1> It's not just inside your head (your reading this) or mine (my writing this). <julu1> It's not a style, it's bone. It's the hard white bone surrounded by flesh. <julu1> You'd pay a silly dollar to see some silly flesh. <julu1> Ignore everything you think you know; focus on the bone. On the nub of the bone. On the burl. <julu1> What presses against something to make this, what might make you press against something else. <julu1> These are the warez I'm passing to you, clothed in flesh. <julu1> The bone is the secret. The bone is the secret bone. <julu1> You'll pay attention to the flesh, forget the secret. Caress the flesh: bone stops it. <julu1> Bone stops it in this and every other channel. <julu1> Bone stops it, but you swallow the flesh. I dream you this: Tonight you dream. <julu1> Tonight you dream of the flesh. <julu1> (My secrets are safe.) julu1 H sondheim@hidden-DF1EBA32.hsd1.co.comcast.net:0 julu (#cybermind) MemoServ H services@chatcircuit.com:0 Memo Server (*) ChanServ H services@chatcircuit.com:0 Channel Server (*) NickServ H services@chatcircuit.com:0 Nickname Server (*) * :End of /WHO list. -
