Lawyerly, consumable, forgo,
questioning, axiomatic, ripen,
desist, topiary, What is it
of a Sunday afternoon
curls the insides
of the weak?
The week:
Inexorable, exoskeletal, cross-hatched,
pejorative, compulsory, clenched,
province of restless, hungry ghosts!
Riding the gain
to prevent feedback,
stealing a page
from every little package,
increasing the hit rate
through reducing our store count,
"What business are we in?"
Reswizzling the mix.

”[…] the mistake lay in the imitation of existing forms, which tended also to preserve the idea of art as something separate from life. Popular art risked losing its playful quality […] (Asger) Jorn thought that “if play lacks its vital purpose then ceremony fossilizes into an empty form.” The solution was a popular art which did not imitate isolated forms but which applied itself to the transformation of matter. Art can extend the cooperative qualities of nature into social life.”

"Strikingly, both capital and labor accept the division between work time and lesiure time…while they are at odds as to its use, both take for granted a certain functional concept of time, and a certain acquisitive and accumulating approach to every day life that comes with it.

Debord’s first major work, by his own later accounts, was a simple three-word graffiti that translates as “Never work!”…Debord’s “Never work!” frees time from its binary form of work time and leisure time. The dérive then becomes the pratice of lived time, time not divided and accorded a function in advance; a time inhabited by neither workers nor consumers.”
