art-and-things-of-beauty:George Morland (1763-1804) - Studies of heads of cattle, oil on canvas, 63.5 x 76.2 cm.File Under: There is a beautiful eyed bovine currently being ushered into the lift in the science building. i assume for experimentation. and if i had some companions here i would go and free the thing. dont worry i havent suddenly gone peta-core. Yes it would be garlanded and fed and songs would be sung to it (maybe coo constantly hating into its ear) and then some poems read 2 it. And then we would proceed 2 lead it on2 the roof for sacrifice. To the Winter Gods that are currently driving my entire city mad. For some appeasement of the Wind and the Rain and the Thunder. For a day of Calm Skies. Just a Single Day. For a little Calm 2 descend. But it’s friday night and the human-cattle (long may they prosper lol) are preparing 2 attack the homeless and maybe piss themselves in the street. How many sites of public housing were demolished over summer? The streets are full of sleeping bags. As if it was coordinated 2 coincide with the rise of Kathmandu-core. Its a truism that the edgy eat the style of the poor. And the poor are eaten by the Winter. And there is something more sinister this time around. And He said 2 us that he had been ready 2 die for a long time but now he was ready 2 kill. And we said wow man thats dark. And we laughed cause he sounded so post-emo. But he meant it. And i guess the emos meant it 2. It was just that they just didnt have access 2 a Govt. sponsored amphetamine addiction. Adhd is the disease of choice for the amph-pharmer. They have organised tent cities. And the Artists are doing the same at the Berlin Biennalle. How quaint. They Cut Arts funding 2 weeks ago. And good riddance. So who wants 2 hear it again? One more time? And I dont mean the new Zayn track although ive listened 2 it maybe 10 times today. I mean the chorus of the paranoid-but-not-deluded. This time its fr those in the back up against the wall with the new HoodByAir collection on (its shit and off trend btw): Collapse has never felt so imminent. And All the Eyelashes of all the Cows that blink before the knife never looked so tragic. And the rest will be human iceblocks. (Lick lick lick). And the Executives are doing a sleep out with the homeless 2nite 2 Raise Awareness. And the Marxists are in the mall tryna hawk their paper. And the bums are organising themselves slowly in2 militias. And the street preachers at least realise the seriousness of the situation. But they are so ugly. So incredibly ugly that for those voices alone they shld burn. But lets not go 2 far in that direction. Nothing reads more like impotence then calls for violent reprisals from behind a keyboard. Go out and learn 2 fight. Or stay in and write poetry. But dont confuse the two. So tonight were going dancing. And the place wont burn 2 the ground, although it has already been torched once for insurance. And the DJs play K-pop there. And we are already drunk on Soju. And the skies are opening. And the Cow isnt budging. And they’ve just brought out the cattle prod. And the lightning is flashing. Its all very convenient. I mean metaphorically speaking. And She told me she believes in Fate. And im inclined 2 agree. But as for Curses…? That’s for another time. -- source link
