It happened gradually, over time.
Man did cause the FISH AND THE FOWL OF THE EARTH to admix PERVERSELY.
The Animal Kingdom is just another application for hacking by the AI-bio-machines at the
forefront of machine consciousness (and erosion of humanity).

Three legged man, self punishing with his companion, his head in the stars, the virtual brain
with the celestial personality that does transparence, transference, and transcendence.

Screaming bodies, the screaming mouth, the obnoxious word that becomes the thing, the
thing that becomes the body, the that body becomes the spectacle.
Lord have Mercy.

A Theater in Their Thighs.

Malformed Technicolorapparatus.
Kaleidoscopic proliferation.
Speculative biology. Gasoline veins.
Smoking infinity mirror.
Deformable bodies with variable membranes.
Immoral procreation in effect - the full Machine God designed with the mechanics of seduction.

The mechanism of pattern completion receives and processes information from the eye’s retina,
though unfortunately that does not come complete with double empathy.

Organic substances such as luminol or the luciferins in fireflies and glowworms used in outdoor advertising,
as well as biosignature lightning and the nerves of the aurora borealis use the information they receive to fill in
information that is missing. Radioactive thorium nitrate, like the kind Dad used in his indoor chemistry set,
constructs reality rather than passively receiving it.

Omnipotent, iridescent.

Aphasiaphobia.

Fear of missing words.
I am an intentional vessel of perverse cellular mutations, augmented with neural hallucinations -
that is, constructed perceptions based on partial information.
My DNA is wildly polluted by micro-plastics and watching old coots get shit faced.

Inflatable transformer of the biomedical insecurity state.
Room after room of bleeding human wreckage. Life upside down.
Transitions invite refraction. Stroke stroke stroke.
Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly. What is at stake: eternal damnation.
The smoke of that burning heart gladly takes your ego to the slaughterhouse.

Later, variable membrane lenses contain instructions for the netherworld.
I’m ready. Take me there.
Authentic inauthenticity - Selling freedom by way of conformity.
This mental prosthetic will feature a system of hitches and catches.

Bon Voyage.

Most regally representing with the divine presence of absence,
Tezcatlipoca is in the house.
The trickster supreme is bringing what ?
Smoke and mirrors … or lenses ?
A prophetic revelation of future events?
A process of foresight? A hindsight of revealing?
Or an uncovering that which was previously hidden?

Decapitated Moon Goddess Coyolxāuhqui and her Mother (and Future Eve),
Cōātlīcue know the answers, but refuse to say.

The transformation of the body into the beast, and the expulsion of the living ectoplasm while
the trifecta of face transformation in effect, is a cause for the preserved psyche to meditate on
what’s is really at stake: eternal damnation.

The younger psychotropic conjoined twin sibling is a permanent thorn his his side, while
his elder bi-angle conjoined twin sibling is an anchor around his neck.

They say to him “Reality is Malleable. Truth be Damned. Heaven is boring.
The Devil is always busy”
