Note: Our Modern Lingual State: Darkened Architectural Demeanour
Because pathological convexity remains existential reflection of itself thus it remains squandered sans intrinsic complexity of itself far beyond what is considered to be arithmetical clear sightedness. Never can the quantitative remain as fixated equal to the uncanny sired at its own precipice by sigil. At best, an opaque ozonal metrics that seeks a blinding grace. It’s as if Fernando Pessoa concluded upon a singular pseudonym that persisted via a fore-shortened noun. Not as suspended dalliance persisting in place by pronoun.
Not gist staggered by protracted limitation of itself by shift as pre-figured fixation mishandled by delimitation upon itself, or self-changing state riveted in a singular psychic dwelling. Never centredness enacted by sterile compunction, but a dazzled state that transmutes but as adesh that leaps via the highest guna. Not simple disjunction that blazes according to delimited dialectics. This being the higher realm that composes itself not by super-imposed acquisitive state, not as a form of alphabet one immobile letter after another.
Never by misused lettering as scattered rhetoric in line with hardened linearity by endemic fixation as psychic state. Never a vacuous haven attempting to rise from a mud flat listing itself by an all invading grammatical decimation. Never by isolate pausing, but by a form of klangfarben melodie that magically implies the whole. Not expanded decimation, but an invisible harmolodic that blazes. Not slowly as saturnine bereftment but seepage that skews the evidence as broken interior stamina not unlike a thickett that breaks into fore-shortened mazes. For instance, it mesmerizes as dangerous crystal, by dangerous and arbitrary annealment, perhaps a decimating preponderance of asterisks, perhaps dysfunction as glamor. As for dysfunctional sterility none makes evidence of itself as culpable admission
Simply put, the mind within this latter day circumstance annoys and fails to open its own transmission to itself never fertilizing gulfs. As for nths in this state they fail to fertilize kinetics from endemic wealth that signifies its own largess failing to signify its own basilica that procures a statute within the modern psychic forum. For instance, infecting scripted English with the micro-circularity issuing from musicality of Chinese or Gur never provoking psychic toxins as sullage, never infecting English expression by toxic mortal grain clogged with its general background of mortal tenacity. The latter being none other than unwavering mortal weight that attemps to arc its own presence with psychic acidity. The latter provoking a lethargy of bottomless lettering, in other words the ills of bottomless lettering as gesture that seeks to reign over the inadvertent as skill-set by predominant numismatics, by darkened architectural demeanour.
The Modern Mind: Unscalable Hamlet By Predation
As for a commercialized populace there persists blinded conscription, a hypnotized populace, as if they were haphazardly dreaming, partially stunned by hypnotic ale. Perhaps, at one level, an inebriated theatrics, at a further level a foreclosed collective snarling always threatening immolated self-harmony. A plagiarized subsistence partially numbed by distraction. This being sum that ignites its own hazard, partially wafting into its own inconsequence.
Therefore a wizened formula failing to upgrade its own anaemia, the latter accruing to no more than a brazen self-pestilence. Again, chatter by wizened metrics, feigned by seismic howling. A wind that blows by asymptotic direction as fore-shortened multiverse aloft as patternless owl purposelessly morphing into stunted calliope, as dazed fraction by multiple in-direction. A conscripted turbulence by vainglorious dictation, erupting fumes from multitudinous blurring. This being merged ferment as multiple cariousity, not unlike a constricted gaze on fire destined for unanimous stultification. The latter being cross-mingled kinematic scent splayed in all directions. This being a proto stage for further chaos, being symbol for human disruption of the Kuiper planes.
A charred accreditation charged by its own minimum as consciousness. This remains at best lateral corrosion. Completely unlike a blazing mystical bell incapable of fore-sight, incapable of seismic clarity, incapable of where its powers lay, sans the lower plane, thereby seismic invincibility, this being darkened flutter by fore-telling. Perhaps, a scattered a scattered scorpion torrent that mocks itself via endemic displeasure, perhaps one thinks of tempests as scattered molten leaves that ignite planes via the imaginal. One must ask at this point how are planes scattered across listless anti-rituality? How do they persist as diamonds by explosion? Perhaps, as grammar in the veins that erupts by mesmeric fore-telling. Not listless oxidation as rhytmical anti-pyre, as dis-logistics that blazes, not as mire that supersedes its own suggestion via a windowless moon of subtrahends. Not as merit, but as form of surcease that retreats by attempting its own spinning but as doctrine that attempts its own beguiling, but as chronicled mirror that explodes into shards that gesticalates by blindness This being collective script as deficit as chaotic moral minimum that scribbles its own mockery by confusion.
Because it attempts to coin its own arising it passes itself off as charismatic vulgate, as crystal suffused by its own horror. Therefore one must take into view the horror that possesses a mesmerizing gryphon that listlessly promulgates sundials. Perhaps hyphenated grammatical dunes where consciousness is foiled by hazardous number. A storytelling that conforms ton ill-used mausoleums, to defeated principles christened by oblivion. Thus sound accrues inferential blurring, by corroded mystique, as wizened psychic property. The latter being none other than wizened psychic inversion, a tempestuous rattling by means of susurrant general decay that invades itself by purposeless punctuation.
By dawn of its sequestered private fatigue ruthless error sets in, general inversion prevails as mind set by pervasive diacritlcal stammer. This being opaque drainage as statute, by general subliminal fraying. This being fixation by magnification as slaughter, by realms that specifically blaze according to magnification by slaughter. This being alienation by principle disappearance, by dissolving unscalable hamlet by predation.
Compressed Noting: Magnetized By Endemic Flaw
As for blinded amplification there persists unsettled mystery concerning the latter captivated as it is by psychic opthamological blindness within its own in-cordinate dilemma. The mind thus bred by posterior phonemes blindedly condoned by posterior phonemes under the auspices of a withering era. This latter state being transition across sterility as barren osteological infertility by barren ironic clauses. This being auscultation by mesmeric flaw assaulted by fleeting lepton pebbles by temperature that rises out of nothingness.
A state that momentarily morphs from a hallucinogenic oasis. The latter remains akin to stirring morsels of flint that harasses the psyche re-routing themselves by formless dehydration so that they cause injury within the bodily grammes thay follow suit by soldered amplification. The latter being a withered multiplicand that dogs the collective body by exterior destabilization. Here we have a disrupted phantom psyche always by force as powerful darkening. On the surface the body wriggles by means of a scattered lisp, being enunciation by inclement verbal screed. This being dark resolve by planted cognitive acre the latter being cacophonous mental geriatric plagued falling chimerical locusts. Thus the latter akin to fallen metrical analysts. Not a form of technical wizardry or obfuscated dissonance but the basic mental lair as land locked dissonance. The being glare as promulgated seizure, as reprehensible misapprehension not as modified exclusiveness that chronically self-stumbles across a shattered opium trail.
