Could it be that everything that is is just a funny after-taste? That brings us to the terrible question of what is funny. Certainly the body hanging down or bobbing is funny, and perhaps too any sounds associated with the noticing of it. But these sounds—that’s a different kind of funny. And those sounds get stuck on themselves eventually. Then a meal with no after-taste seems...
Ideas protrude. They are less false than what they protrude into—the so-called “nature.” They’re less false only because they’re hauled, and the hauler can still be suspicioned in their protruding. There is no actual hauler, of course, but in his absence we can nevertheless feel the way the gigantic bed keeps itself clean. When it’s really clean it writes...

Day later and Tyrone’s son from Kabul had come home to Burnside with a prosthetic foot and a spook for an eye and only just one. The other had been pirated out its socket by a dry-wall-screw bomb hid by a ten-year old in a Pepsi machine and was now all eye-patched in padded black nylon for life.
Tyrone sighed in the truck cab and said offhand, “He’s haunted.”

(One girl asked for a picture. “I’m short,” she said, standing next to him. “You’re not short. You’re perfect,” he replied.) Every few minutes he’d utter his “I am not running for president!” line. As he made...

that’s my...
I Was Trying to Describe You to Someone
I was trying to describe you to someone a few days ago. You don’t look like any girl I’ve ever seen before.
I couldn’t say “Well she looks just like Jane Fonda, except that she’s got red hair, and her mouth is different and of course, she’s not a movie star…”
I couldn’t say that because you don’t look like Jane Fonda at all.
I finally ended...
There are two ways of understanding the notion of play: playing cards, dominos, checkers; or the play of a mechanical part when it is loose in its housing. I think, in fact, that the second is the angle from which we should envision play today. Play is not something that brings pleasure; on the contrary, it expresses a shift in reality, an unaccustomed mobility with respect to reality. To play...

Physics depends on the elimination of the subjective: there are no colors, only wavelengths; no frequency, only pitch; no warmth or cold, only kinetic activity of molecules; no subjective “self” or I, only neural activity. Physics doesn’t need, and indeed doesn’t acknowledge, the subjective “here and now”, or the “I” who experiences the world. Yet to...
