Responsum to Notes App Epic

Marks of a main character:
Quietly taking iPhone Notes at the function
- (a solo expidition [sic] [sic]
- in the seat of a full roadtrip vehicle
- (I wonder which seat she sat in?
- What is her social standing among
- San Francisco dykes?));
Coming-of-age story featuring
- 1. car radio,
- 2. disgusting things (the red life and
  - green rot of the world),
- 3. pseudointellectualism pervading,
  - implacable, wanting to get out,
- 4. bathroom complications,
- 5. elementary school nostalgia (gotta
  - say goodbye to childhood;
  - best do it ritually),
- 6. Midpoint revelation (everyone’s a prophet,
  - or maybe misquoting the Machine)
  - suitable for dollface to face college next year,
- 7. Masculinity expressed in fights and bruises and
  - “fuck you ~~mom~~ trader joes”
  - and tumbling frenzied awkward sexuality, and,
- 8. NEW YORK CITY BAYBAYYY;
And a refrain of complicated sex,
- because good things come in threes,
- two is just not satisfying,
- and Instagrammed Notes App poetry serves the same purpose as
- a thirst trap except better because of the implication
- and the drama.

LitHum impresses this Lesson:
Epics are made of references
- (an epic is not made by opaque references,
- by -chronology -attributions -causality),
You do not create something new by denying the old,
- but by responding to it,
- and before Konstantin shouts, “New Forms!”
- in defense, submit Trigorin, deceptionless,
- who cannot help but admit the artless linkage from life to fiction.
Why do you fear the provenance known?
The point was to twist a dishonest platform into
- one that would force honesty of you,
- so why hide behind decontext?
Do you fear that to know your influence is to know thyself?
New Forms reject (respond to) the old;
the old is cowering behind obscurity and obfuscation.
If new forms must be, form hyperlink poetry.

You can’t stop the signal, Mal;
Siren songs display additive interference.
It will grow and grow and there’s nothing to do, except
- at the tone, run the other way,
- do the opposite,
- match the wave out of phase and destroy it.
The way is dark, away from sirens,
- because the negative is the original source.
Like being topless made fun of in the house:
- it’s not the top but the less of it, its absence,
- filling that space are two breasts (the boy’s and yours)
- bared, embarrassed, because–
sex is so embarrassing. Like here is my cock I guess. jesus christ
I feel so unconvincing.
Haven’t we all done this before?
Why the pretense?
Because you can never really know
- when somebody
- wants something you want too.
And you’re made fun of in the house because you went in,
- like a dumb fucking moth towards the siren light,
- instead of going the dark way,
- developing the negative, opening the rods,
- instead of staying out in the field.

Conversation + thoughts + moments -chronology -attributions -causal coherence = epic poem

Eat vegan meat on stick
things undone are regrettable, things done are

Feeling a bit topless made fun of in the house

And a final exit
We have shooed the cat

I’m obviously circling because i’m cyclical of

The end
of the world is sexy and forest fires are earthy

Lively debate over whether apples are bogus

I choose the wrong right answer

The hash slinging slasher wishes he was sharp as a roman numeral

The old man in the sea demands dignity

Card, card, and then the winner, baked beans

He majored in The Cold War at USC and now he builds taco bells
