![]() | The taping of the Infomercial to sell Reality TV programs to the pregnant pauses that blanket the Nielsen Empire remind Fex of a photo-dynamic typewriter image, hands captured in frenetic movement, the gauntlet of logical, linear image as proffered by Muybridge and his horse movie located in the same historical moment that gave us the linear debacle of the Dreyfus affair and the Sino-Japanese conflict. Modenisque is dizzy drunk, stupid, sloping brow, arms pounding into the pavement full of potholes, and Fex is tempted to dump her altogether. Her DNA is corrupted by product placement he is wise enough to eschew; and her body, well, let's just say that things were different in his day. IV. If Modenisque is dizzy in the abyss, or she fears the dolor of perpetual sensitivity, Fex may remind her of information specific to the Empire that can overload her lack of morals. Any creature of habit who takes on this routine problem is--when only clear spirits and the simple language of primordial monkeys can save their soul from Jesus--a friend in the 137th year of Marshall Fex, former street doctor who must no longer keep silent, and must do more in execution of his duties within this contract than nod mutely when Modenisque suggests independence from the bonds of a society that privileges information more than expansion. This clause, Fex will notice, when opposed to the contract of 5758, seems interminably reticent to change the endless boredom of Englebert Humperdink operas. | ![]() |
