delusions and desired dissatisfaction

mentally-activated screens. projections of promise. perception: neuro-imaging of quasi-delusions. striations of context, displaced among faceless names.

mannequins dressed in the fading dyes of discontent.



seeking desired dissatisfaction. chronic unhappiness.

boundaries of a self, dissolving into the undefined borders of an abandoned one-bedroom apartment. carpet bares the indentations of bedposts and bookshelves. the cellophane of cigarette boxes. camouflaged on an empty floor.

in my dream the furniture is where i remember it. the floor has just been vacuumed and you can still see where the vacuum cleaner has left its path. my parents must have had someone over for dinner. without seeing it, i know that there are boxes piled up in the bedrooms. unconsciously packing boxes in sleep. the mental storage unit for childhood memorabilia.
