Each of these 12 main signs are HiveModels, archetypal humans. Each one is bred and selected by the Human Gene Consciousness to fulfill a certain function. Actually, it is all "planned" from the beginning. The Gene Sequence is a 4th Dimensional Consciousness, exists in AllTime. I was astrogenetically selected to take drugs and be different/deviant--- my purpose, as given to me by the GAIA Terracomputer All-Consciousness and stewarded by the DNA Consciousness, is to deviate. I am an evolutionary agent, like all other artists.

These days, he did everything maniacally. The reports of gleaming within his eye were never exaggerated in those days-- only played down and explained away like old wives.

He added the "now" like one adds cyanide to coffee. Deliberately. Red light flooded the room, drowning Nathan and his reflection in bloody luminescence. "You're blushing!" "I am not. I'm juicing." "I thought you said you always called a spade a spade." "Yeah, so show me a fucking spade so I can bash your goddamn braikns out!" "Touchy, touchy... anyway so tell me about this wonderful new tomorrow that you were so excited about." There was a pause. (and another) "People are nothing," Nathan said, leaning into the mirror, "nothing but reflections of eachother. "The only thing that differentiates us from one another are the things that secretly humiliate us." "I see ... kind of depressing, no?" "Yeah, well fuck depressing. Just another illusion of an illusion. It's all in the outer ring, you see. There's the crux." "I don't see. What does Jesus have to do with this?" "Nothing... now listen: the nature of nation is defense. Nations are amoeba sacs filled with gushy soft citizens and a hard outer ring of warriors. The internal actions of the "people" inside are unimportant to the ring of warriors (AKA The Government) who define the boundaries.

I can remember during my college years, things were somewhat turbulent on campus, for some reason or another, and, at one point, during a gathering, the organizers trotted out this old geezer and introduced him like he was something special. He had a Name, but Names were always showing up, trying to jump on Our bandwagon, so I just ignored him. After all, I'd never read any of his stuff, and it was all oldtimey anyway. Geezer stuff was oldtime stuff by definition. So, to quote another poet, "What did he know?" Now that I'm about the age he must have been about then, I am reading his work for the first time. It is so overwhelming, I feel as though I have been shattered and reassembled in his jagged, timeless truths. So now I ask, "What do I know?" His Name was Allen Ginsberg. Message # 355.

There is no comfort called from heaven to surpass Eirene's mettle: clasped in coldness---a setting aside of Father's matters. Our sins sucked up a genuine satisfaction--tied to her, a trailing minute, a child soul bleating to the sun: i am lamb, here me soar! lend me thy ear oh ye mothers a poor son but my head's held up under Dike's offered heaving breast.

The Midget Truck Driver The day started early. Jim got on the road before the sun even began to show itself over the distant horizon, and he wanted to get as far across this desert as possible before the heat became too unbearable. Sure, he could drive at night, but Jim found nighttime driving not his taste, and avoided it when possible. Jim was small in stature, barely over three and a half feet, which, ordinarily, would be a handicap in the profession of truck driving. However, since childhood Jim wanted nothing else than to be behind the wheel of a big rig, cruising every highway in the country, and free from the confines a small body in a large world. During trips with his mother, Jim would look out the passenger window of the car and up at drivers of passing semis. He would reach out his arm, cock it, and move it up and down. The truck drivers, if they saw him, would reward him with a blast of the horn, and for a moment, Jim would feel as if he had momentarily reached beyond the boundaries of his life and entered the life of the truck driver. "Small-fry," "shrimp," "short change," "Chilly Willy," "Willow," "Munchkin," "Tiny," and, during the 1970s, "Bilbo" and "Frodo" -- Jim had been called all these things and more. Now, after years of hard work and some customizing of the driver's side of the truck, Jim was more than just some curiousity to be gawked at by people who really should know better. He was a truck driver, someone on the road to be respected and loved, a blood cell rushing through the arteries of America's heartland. Jim drove. The sun slowly creeped over the horizon, and Jim began to feel the warm light invade the cab. He pulled his sunglasses from the dashboard and slid them quickly and easily over his eyes. The empty road ahead passed through a desolate desert wasteland, and Jim knew this day would be long and boring. And hot. But there! on the horizon, a gleam of light, something metallic in the distance. But perhaps, Jim thought, it was only a mirage, the ghost of some distant city that somehow made its way out over the blowing sands. But, as he drove closer, he saw a car. And, closer still, he saw a young woman by the car. He could see that she was looking at him...rather, at his truck, and Jim could tell by the way she was beginning to position her arm at her side that she was planning to wave him down. Sighing, because this would delay his shipment, but also relieved at a break in the tedium, Jim began to slow down, and eventually pulled to a stop just ahead of the car. The woman looked relieved, and ran to the passenger side of Jim's rig. She clambered up the side, and opened the door. "Oh, thank you for stopping! I was trying to drive back to the city last night and my car broke down. You're the first person I've seen since!" "Well, come on in, I'll give you a ride. I'm headin' to the city myself. I'll drop you off once we get there." Jim didn't really care for this intrusion, but what could he do? He couldn't leave her there, obviously, but he wished his solitude had remained interrupted. He wanted an end to the tedium, not an invasion of his privacy. "Thanks! Thanks a million!" She threw her bag into the cab, and sat down on the regular sized passenger seat. She slammed the door closed, and brushed her black hair out of her face. As Jim started up the truck, she asked, "By the way, what's your name?" "Jim. Jim Powell. Yours?" "Sally. Sally Struthers." Jim was taken aback slightly. "Sally Struthers...? Meathead's wife?" Sally rolled her eyes, but not without a small tight smile that revealed that this wasn't the first time she'd been asked that. "No, no...that's not me. See, black hair." She twined a strand of hair around her index finger. "I got plenty of ribbing when 'All in The Family' was on the air." "Oh, sorry." Jim felt dumb. Of COURSE it wasn't Sally Struthers. Not THE Sally Struthers. There was an awkward silence, and Jim was about to mumble an apology for committing the same mistake that it was painfully obvious had occurred many many times before in her life. Sally, apparently feeling the same awkward silence, tried to break the ice. "So...uh...you're a midget, huh?" Jim sighed. It always came down to this. Yes, of course I'm a midget, he wanted to scream. The really small body was a dead giveaway, wasn't it? You might have seen some friends of mine in the freak show in "Wizard of Oz" in "Under the Rainbow" in "Time Bandits" in "Terror in Tinytown" in in in but instead all he said was, "Uh, we prefer the term 'Little Person," actually." "Oh." To her credit, he thought, she seemed embarrassed. "Um...it must have been hard, trying to overcome this handicap, I bet." Jim sighed again, inwardly. He knew she meant well, and was curious about his...condition, so he tried not to sound too impatient when he replied. "Well, it wasn't easy, but hard work can overcome anything." His pat answer to nosy questions about "the great struggle to overcome dwarfism." "Well...Uh..." said Sally. "Hopefully...uh...it'll be a short trip to the city, huh?" Jim rolled his eyes. Short, indeed. To Sally he said, "Yeah, sure, we'll be there in no time," but inside he thought to himself, somehow, I really don't think so. And Jim, and Sally Struthers, and the truck, raced on, down a lonely road to some far off destination, and only the company of their hidden thoughts and their empty words travelled with them.

From : Stranger To : all/Blau Reiders Subj : The Storm p.1 PERMIFIED In The Beginning, right after The Previous End, but before What Came Next and completely unrelated to the Debacle Over There, there was nothing but a very, very, very bored man dressed in black and all of the otherhalf- hues & half-tones of apathy and ennui. His jaw sagged like an armadillo on steroids. His eyes sparkled like cottage cheese. His demeanor had a visage- like mien. He got meaner and more vicious and de meaner he got the more viscous he became. This began to become a problem when the man (and since we don't gnow him, we'll call him Stranger) started realizing that he was about to die of this aforementioned lackadaisical malaise. "Oh er rot and uh bother, as if you gnow what I mean--- I seem to have a pain centered in my spleen" and "A pretty spot we've all in bound found our selves confounded and in--- a little of this and a little of that here and there would be a worthless proposition" and "handmedowndelions & lackadaisies riddled with care and hung from the legs that were treated with nair" were some of the inane things that could be heard issuing from this bored man's lips. Suddenly, (lo, and behold and all that rot) Stranger espied (no, he saw) (he was sawing & warring until raw god's dogs paws swapped and stopped) a mist forming on the beach between him and the red sea of dreams which filled the space from here to the horizon like a great smarmy wound in the earth's side which no one moved to heal because of its silent lovely inevitability and great tourist attractiveness (much like, say, Des Moines)--- the mist moved, shook, jellified, vomited, then repeated. "Ooh, yuk," said Stranger. Finally, what was once mist became missed (because of its absence, making Stranger's heart much fonder) and there in front of the black-rocquelaure- clad man was-- "Asquishi is my name, and death, destruction, and mayhem are my games." "What? That's not very catchy..." Stranger mumbled incredulously. Well, maybe not incredulously. How about resignedly. "I'm workin' on it, asshole," started the newly formed Asquishi. I say started because it was obvious that she wasn't finished, and would tear out every third hair from Stranger's head if he filled in the pregnant pause with his abortive interruptions. "I have been sent from the depths of the Retreat Collective Disconsciousness, and you had better listen to my words! My words are the sword that draws wards and swarms raw thru the garden of Blah; drag on and on, beat the tear like embittered order's law" The seductive but strangely BOggy form of Asquishi boggled. Stranger grimaced. "Sorry about that... since you are an emanation of the Retreat Collective Disconsciousness (to which I'll refer in future references with the rather appropriate and I might even say inspired abbreviatory nom de breve (excuse my french, it's wrong in some sense) R.C.D.) and are appearing to me via self-induced telapathetic projection, I seem to be bleeding over to you and you are sounding mightily nonsensical! I like it!" Asquishi grabbed Stranger by his appendix, and, lifting him off the ground by about a foot and a half (quite a feat considering the relative tallness inherent in Stranger compared to the rather diminutive form of Asquishi, but hey, this is all fiction, right?) shook him a bit and then screamed (with whispering hateful dispassion) "Shut up, Lord of Apathy, and listen--- you must go to the BOg and find the Lost Orc of the Complainant before the seventh son of a seventh son can wrest forever from the BOG LOrd's control!" "uh, but... well, why?" "Because that's what Chapter Two is about!" *** to be continued *** Stranger Comments : Cool=1 Promote Me!=1 Message # 676. Date: 07/31/95. Time: 02:11:35. Read 42 Times.

From : Stranger To : All/Else Subj : The Storm p.2 After Asquishi has SQuished back into the Sea of Dreams, nothing left of her form but a passing of disgruntled air in the void of the strange air all around, Stranger prepared for his trek to the BOg. He so hated traveling, but loved being elsewhere, and appreciating the irony of the situation, did as he was told, as he was wont to do, whether or not he wanted it or won'ted it. He collected his traveling gear: a broken pocket watch, seven bottles of wine from a few centuries before, and his entire shoe collection, numbering in the thousands of pairs. His hand slunk into a rocquelaure pocket and grabbed Algernon, his mouse. Waving it in the air, he clicked on the pulldown menu entitled "Security" and stopped when "Uh, yeah" was hilit. CLICK! And so it was done. He began wading into the Sea of Dreams. Normally, he would have called for the POppy BArge, the normal mode of travel, but just decades ago he had had the WORST quarrel with the BArgeman, whose name I forget and am too lazy to look up on the story board. Something about how many Necromancers can dance on the head of a donkey, or something. Stranger was quite sure the answer was either eleven or three hundred and fourteen, whilst the Bargeman said six. I guess we'll never gnow the true answer. Anyways, the long and the short and the inbetween of it is that the two, not being on speaking terms, were also not on BArging terms, and Stranger had to travel a different way. The BOg, being on the same wavelength as Strangeland, wasn't accessible thru his Dream Coat, and besides, if it were, the journey to the BOg wouldn't be much of a chapter. So, as I was saying, Stranger began to wade into the Sea of Dreams. The red water slowly rose up his black enshrouded body as he ambled and schlepped into the body of dreaming water. Pretty soon, he was completely submerged and walking at quite a fast pace. Being nothing but a bundle of dream personalities held together by the twine of a dream coat, silly things like breathing and wetness and water pressure meant nothing to him! It could have been days, or it could have been weeks, or it could have been five damn minutes --we'll never gnow-- (well, I will... Im the narrator) but in Stranger's head all time is one so he didnt care anyway, and the upshot of it all is that after a time he could sea something shining in the murk of vermilion cloudiness all around him! "I wonder if I should ignore it," Stranger muttered to no one in particular. "No, it's an important plot development!" No one, all the way in Particular, said back, snappily. Stranger shrugged. "Very well...." He walked over to the shininess ahead and ogled it. "Ooh!" he exclaimed when he saw what it was. It was a glass sphere, about five inches in diameter. Inside, there was what looked like a beach, with a palm tree, and a little man standing next to it waving furiously and shouting obscenities. He couldn't hear the obscenities, since they were all trapped inside the glass sphere, but he could read lips, and these ips needed some soaping! He picked up the sphere and put it in a pocket. "I hope that wasn't the oubliette pocket..." *** to be continued *** Stranger Message # 683 -- Private. Message # 684. Reply to #682 Date: 08/02/95. Time: 04:09:41. Read 46 Times.

From : Stranger To : All/Blau Reiders Subj : "The Storm" p.3 PERMIFIED The swirling seas aswirled and seethed all simply simmering in the indecisionary schizmatic currents the current sea making sense if not dollars if not whole economies of deathly and deadly entwined salty lovers with interchanged hearts of gold. All plastic and unreal; past and present if not all else fails--- the bodies of water all merged in orgasmic and bloody primal screaming gasping sweating and then falling into the deep deep void om mani padme hum a thunderbolt seizing stranger and--no warning- telling him to wade wade wade like theres nothing after tomorrow and nothing before. His pace quickened and with a quivering importuning sempiternal quiet nonchalance he zoomed thru the intervening and visceral and almost real if not solid sea of dreams. red red red like nothing less macabre than the death of an unborn saint. His head poked above water and he gasped air like it was flesh. An unstifled, nay, febrid Yawp elucted from his lips and the landscape surrounding rushed in on his vision more like a whole horizon of oncoming bulls than any natural wilderness vista. And lo, there before him not one but two goddesses! "Oh my, not one, but two goddesses!" Stranger exclaimed. The two feminine visions before him smiled in a sweet dulcet desultory way and sucked on the silence with an inaudible slurp. "I'm only a goddess on the odd days," cried one, with a toss of brilliant red hair--- "but you should recognize me anyhow, oh Strange One! 'tis I, your next door neighbor, Ann Otherworld, and this here tis or is, not quite sure and I dont care anyhow--" "Aphrodite. Yeah, the goddess. Wanna go to a Vigil with us? No worries, no troubles, only candles and perhaps nectar and ambrosia or oh who gnows?" The winsome goddess flashed and sparkled as she unraveled her sentences. "Well, sure." Stranger shrugged in a noncommittal way. "I think I was on a quest but I dont remember what it was exactly, to be honest." The three shifted thru planes riding a huge cloud ofsweet smelling incense. Before Stranger could say "defenestrate" they were in a lush green park and the moon--oh it shone--full and high like the rest of the people gathered; this was a fateful night like the beginning of a Whole New Era or something else important like that. "Wowie zowie," said Stranger, apropos per usual. The three sat down after a bit of weaving and bobbing and enjoyed the music of minstrels and wanderers scalawags and vagabonds. Soon there was materialized in their huge cloud of incense numerous and sundry bottles of wine, pipes and hookahs filled with strange and exotic plants from many heavenly planes, and assorted other pleaures all neatly arranged like harem girls in formations of crazy jingling fleshy chaos. Suddenly, they had Too Much Fun. "STOP, VARMINTS!" screamed the suddenly visible park Overlords. "You're under arrest!" Threre was an altercation, and it wasn't pretty .... The three ended up a few weeks later (the intervening time lost to mystery and to the irritation of curious people everywhere) on the Sea of Dreams on the H.M.'S Haga.

Exactly like a bell. "A bell!" exclaimed Stranger brightly. The two girls ran to the side of the boat and looked out over the purple neon railing. There was indeed a bell, and it was brightly shining and fashioned of gold. Aphrodite motioned Stranger over. "Look, what's that out there?" Rising from the water was a shining white arm, and attached to the top of this arm was a beautiful white hand, which was grasping lightly yet firmly yet portentously yet magniloquently a white phallus! Stranger gasped. The arm continued to rise from the red red water of the sea of dreams. And then after the arm and an attendant elbow and even some fore arm, came forth the beautiful shining head of the Lady of the BOg! Thus spake she: "Oh He Who Art Many in ONe and One in Many and None in Sum, rum diddly Um- --- So Mote it Be, Om, Amen, Svaha, and So Be It, and other things." and the phallus flew threw the air, and over end, flashing and catching light in various impressive ways, making for many fine posters and film clips for bad reviews, until with a "SQuish" it connected with Stranger's groin in a most conjoined way and ther Was a Great Re Attachment.

From : Exarch To : all Subj : too drunk to fuck PERMIFIED since i'm too drunk to say anything beautiful or clever i'll just post this (very relevant) iltle piece; The Five Stages Of Drinking: Stage One It's 11:00pm, and your friends buy you a round of drinks. Your unemployed friends. You get up to leave, but then you say to yourself, "Hey, as long as I get seven hours sleep....I'm cool." Stage Two It's midnight, and you've just spent twenty minutes arguing against artificial turf. Right about then a little devil appears on your shoulder, and you look at your watch and think to yourself, "Hey, I'm among my friends, and these are the good times. Besides, as long as I get five hours' sleep.... I'm cool." Stage Three It's 1:00am, and you've switched from beer to tequila. You've just spent twenty minutes arguing in favor of artificial turf. You look around, and say, "That's about the hottest waitress I've ever seen". On your way to the bathroom, you buy a drink for the stranger at the end of the bar, just because you like his face. You and your friends start having drunken fantasies that, "hey, if we buy our own bar, we can stay together forever". Right about then, you notice that the devil is a bit bigger than he was....and he's buying. You start to leave, but then squint at your watch and say to yourself, "Hey, as long as I get three hours' sleep---and a complete change of blood....I'm cool." Stage Four It's 2:00am, and the devil is bartending. For last call, you order a bottle of rum and a Coke. You ARE artificial turf. On your way to the bathroom, you punch out the stranger at the end of the bar, just because you don't like his face. You look around, and say, "That's about the hottest busboy I've ever seen". You finally stagger outside (after being kicked out), when one of your friends says that he knows the whereabouts of an after-hours bar. You say to yourself, "Hey, since I'm up this late, why, I might as well stay up all night!!!" Stage Five It's 5:00am, and you've just spent twenty minutes trying unsuccessfully to get a refund at the tattoo parlor ("But I don't KNOW anyone named Ruby!!). You're across the state line at a bar where there are people who've been released from prison as late as that same day. This is the kind of bar that even the devil won't touch (Hey, I have to be back in Hell at 9 for brunch with Hitler; see ya). You're drinking some thick blue liquid that looks like something from a Romulan wedding reception. You see the waitress, with fresh stitches in her head, and say, "I'm gonna marry her". Just then, one of your friends stands up and screams, "We're drivin' to Florida!!!", then passes out. As you crawl out of the bar, you say to yourself, "Hey, as long as I get twenty-nine hours' sleep tomorrow....I'm cool." After crawling outside, you experience the worst part of Stage Five: the sun shining down at you, frying your eyes like you're a vampire taking too long getting back to the coffin. By this time, other people are on their way to work, and they look down at you and see the sorry state you're in...and they know. "Who's Ruby?", they ask as they give you their spare change. This is when you utter the Drinkers' Credo; say it with me now: "I SWEAR THAT I WILL NEVER DO THIS AGAIN," (for how long??) "AS LONG AS I LIVE!"

Par for the course, he mumbled to himself as he put the weed whacker back in the bag. He couldn't believe the number of chartreuse foxes that got in his way. Nibble here, nibble there, they couldn't stay in one place so that he might kick them over the fence. But they weren't there anymore, they went back into the cave to play Pinochle, he explained to himself. But the explaination was not entirely accurate. The foxes were playing Euchre. Tom whistled while tying the laces on his Ultra-Flite Birkenstocks with the air soles, then went into the house to pour himself a glass of lemonade. "Slightly basic," he spat out the drink in the sink and brushed his teeth. Didn't like the idea of lemonade corroding the enamel off his molars. The foxes were dancing in his mind, a sign that he was getting tired. So Tom took a sleeping pill and climbed on his cot and fell asleep. He would attack at dawn.
