from A TEST OF COMPANY
XXV
| the object | |
| is an obstacle | life |
| not a yard sale | |
| the separation of merch | |
| and estate | |
| the commodification | of experience |
| the poetics | |
| of capitalism | |
| whatever | no matter |
| what | |
| get all your nouns in there | |
| they’re special | |
| just because you double down | |
| doesn’t mean you’re not shitty |
XXIX
| the difference between | burning out and |
| fading away is | |
| negligible | |
| within the | margin of error |
| beginnings are | easy to see |
| endings | |
| to lose | |
| we put a | real tree |
| inside our house | |
| they put our house | |
| inside a real | forest |
| none of us | |
| are staying | not |
| a thing | |
| not a | narrative or ritual |
| our desire | is the only |
| arrival | |
| anyone else | |
| want to invent | |
| a new holiday |
