“Pepsi and Waldo” 2004
i had a dream that time travel was invented and too many people choose to travel back in time to save the titanic from sinking (the question of whether unsinking of the titanic deserved so much attention in the face of human history was the subject of both heavy academic and online discourse), which caused a rift in the space-time-continuum that led to the titanic showing up indiscriminately all over the world’s oceans and sea in various states of sinking.
this caused a lot of issues both in terms of fixing said space-time-continuum and in terms of nautical navigation, and after a long and heavy battle in the international maritime organization it was decided that the bureaucratic burden of dealing with this was to be upon Ireland, much to their dismay. the Irish Government then released an app for all sailors and seafarers so they could report titanic sightings during their journeys, even though they heavily dissuaded you from reporting them given the paperwork it caused.
anyway i woke up with a clear image of the app in my head and needed to recreate it for all of you:

you ARE a creature in a cage. and i AM shocking you with RODS. READINGS are being taken. levels are being CHECKED. tubing RUNS from a pump to your NECK. there IS a COLLAR on Your Cock. sometimes your blindfold SLIPS and you SEE A CROWD of people taking NOTES.
I believe I’ve been called by god to do this for my people…
i should really have a little door here. or a hatch. there should be improved access to my sigmoid colon.
open it up, take a look inside. cradle it in your hand, sure: lift it into my abdominal cavity. what else is to be done?
me, in my suffering, constantly recapitulating the binary:
dialectics, that artful and vexsome beast: heh... nothing personnel kid
men are so silly
What if we return to a lost ideal past but like in a woke way
