radical optimism
scientific in self therapy
indulgent and generous
then will have time to sleep
it costs you
your immune space
images extremely saturated
effort of the optimum
lean left, lean right, move
artifice
hard line and the contingency
and the sickeningly sweet smell of ink
share a cigarette with the study subject
deferential
germane and pantomime and vacant mind

‘in the face of the orb, the thinker is damned to optimism.’ ... yet, ‘optimism too is subject to entropy’ ...
