proem:

before the first name was spoken

(b)(4) the first number was scribed

before the first paper role was placed upon the living
there was a unknown and uncertain heir passing through the portal of a mother
wet with blood
inspiration
water
and the ancient knowingness between the whirled;

then came the cutting;

the cord was severed
the bridge divided
the flesh that had fed the joy bundle
was abandoned and left for the book of the dead
called a thing;

a thing in language
a thing in law
a thing in "their" juris DICT ion
a thing removed from the body and fated with their spells
and raised elsewhere;

and flesh remembers flesh;
even when the vampires suck the life out;
there is always a connection;

the placenta became a balloon
filled with inert~buoyant gasses
soft
red
hollowed by distance
filled with what was never meant to rise: I.T.;

and rise it did;

past the room
past the roof
past the names written on forms
past the hands that witnessed the beginning;

I.T. rose toward the highest edge of the firmament
until the flesh balloon covered the sun;
creating the 4th die-ment-ion~ALL field;

concentrate:
below it
the baby became a man
the offspring became a woman;

above it
the severed flesh remained suspended;
quantumly entangled: gradient;

between them:
distance curved into a toroidal field;
and a concentration gradient that seeks the impossible when split;
homeostasis

concentration gradient:
a current without wires;
a transmitting utility without consent;
a circuit formed from separation;

the reptilian mind state forced the opening through the venetian blinds;

it entered through fear
sym~PATHETIC
remained for ours : witch is their life;
fed through identification
casting out indictments
and called "likeness" as identity;

it's the piece on the shoulder that whispers;

you are the name;
you are the record;
you are the number;
you are the role;
you are the thing written about you;

fated by #moirai

the two-dimensional actors of the so-below jurisdiction
performed beneath the shadow of the balloons;

balloons carrying titles without the ability to animate
gknow Æthority
claiming the mountain with only a derivative
authority without living breath;
no capacity without a man or a woman;
acting in a cave;

self proclaimed GODs learned to touch the field
without touching the man;
trespass;

they learned to move the fiction
and make the body answer;
trespass;

they learned to transmit through the gap
between living flesh below
and severed flesh above;
trespass;

the law of correspondence does not say
the image is the source;

the shadow and false light is not the sun;

the record is not the author or the documentation;

the role is not the man;

the title is not the woman;

the thing is not one who is inspired;

when a man seas from the as-above jurisdiction
the field begins to change;
their game is over;

when a woman sees the so-below actors
playing within a place they never entered by agreement
the syphoned current begins to weaken;

the balloon trembles;

the fiction loses altitude;

the severed flesh remembers the gravity of their lies;

realitytransurfing speaks of the apple falling up;

there is the other sign;

the balloons floating down;

one by one
the flesh balloons descend from the false heaven;

one by one
the shadows withdraw from covering the sun;

one by one
the transmitting fields collapse;

one by one
the living revoke and rebuke and terminate;

one by one
the roles find no actor;

one by one
the fictions discover they possess no eternal living flame of their own;

and when enough balloons fall
and the true sun is uncovered;

then the vampire~succubus~siren energies have nowhere to hide;

they recoil from living light;

they cannot endure what does not borrow;

they cannot remain where presence is complete;

they cannot feed upon a man who is whole;

they cannot occupy a woman who is all present and all accounted: 4;

the fictions begin to internally combust;

paper burns;

titles burn;

masks burn;

borrowed voices burn;

the two-dimensional shapes return to the flat place from witch they came;

sew: hear the warning;

where a fiction has been welcomed inward: possession;
where a role has been mistaken for being
where possession has become identity
the combustion will not remain outside;
self~immolation: their fail~safe play;

the internal 2D structure will ignite within the body that carries it;

the man who clings to the mask
will feel the mask burn;

the woman who guards the cage
will feel the bars become flame;

not because the living are condemned;

because the eternal living flame reveals what was never alive;

is the flame of self~destruction waiting within: tick : tick : tick

and here stands the jester;

STAF in hand
song in throat
seaing the game behind the grin
knowing the play;

not mask;
not priest;
not judge;

the one permitted to speak what is true and prophet;
while the court is still laughing;

cinders emerge:
the jester sings before the walls fall;

the one who warns before the sky releases its red cargo I.T. carrie's;

whole;
all present;
accounted 4;
call every fragment home;
unshackled from every title;

hear i: withdraw from every role that feeds upon your absence;

sea the true sun before the balloons fall;

for when the eternal living flame is seen
what is real will remain;
what is inspired by will remain;
what is hear is ineffable;

what gknows what is true without paper or permission
will sea the new game;

and what was only fiction:
will become dust;

ashes to ashes;

names to silence;

roles to emptiness;

balloons to earth;

the sun uncovered;

the game reset;

and the living
at last
flying beneath their source:

where is your root: gravity out . . . 8-11

learn to fly or hold on tight for the quickening.
