Why do you do one thing a day? 

 

I have migraines 

 

And 

 

I have migraines. I can’t do 

anything. There is a big fat

fucking review commission

thing on China out of 

Washington but I can’t touch it

 

How did you write this? 

 

On a computer

 

But you can’t use computers 

 

No

 

Just migraines when you touch

the work of the thing you are

meant to specialise in 

 

Yes. No. No. When I am on a

computer

 

But you are currently writing on

a computer

 

But that is because I feel 

obliged to create meaning from

my meaningless existence 

otherwise people will not take

me seriously. It is all about your

work. Your legacy. 

 

What work are you doing?

 

I’m currently compiling 

atmospheric shots that reflect

the natural world that is

unshaped or unburdened by the

demands of expectation that we

ourselves place on us and

therefore become no longer

beautiful 

 

I see 

 

I don’t see beauty in the formed

things. Just the unformed

things.

 

Like your brain. 

 

You’ll see. It will happen. There

will be billboards in NYC with

natural states, with large

screens of natural formations

and people will flock to them.

Just wait. It’s natural. People

are drawn to the natural.

 

Can your natural state take a

look at the very natural review

in DC on the China US

relationship please? You haven’t

even got to the conference

 

I don’t know what it can tell me

at this stage. What will it tell

me? 

 

I don’t know. Conjure up your

medium and maybe she’ll tell

you 

 

I need an assistant. I can’t read

for that long. I get migraines. 

 

Hire one. 

 

They sort of always flake out.

They’re flakey. Flake. Flake flake

flake. 

 

Maybe this time they won’t. 

 

Really? Such prescience. 

 

I mean, if you can actually be

thought of as specialised I am

thinking they are going to let

you specialise. Wild thought. 

 

They build factories and employ

people but they don’t always

give them adequate wages if

you catch my drift

 

Oh that’s right, the ploy of the

capitalists to kill the female

worker

 

That’s right

 

That has created the US-China

competition in the first place

 

I’m not some pseudo crypto

communist fascist you know. I

understand how the markets

work.

 

Yes. You hand over your credit

card and others pay. 

 

Funny. Like the Chinese buying

US debt via your securities. 

 

That actually has been reduced 

 

I am not entering into this

argument. I don’t need to

reduce it to some pathetic

defence of gas spewing forth

into industrial heartlands 

 

Oh Dickens, how do you do it.

Have sex with a Wall Street

banger. 

 

I can’t. I did once and he wore

socks. White socks. To bed. 

 

Was there consummation?

 

No way. As if. It would be like

doing it with a hospital

commode. 

 

As I see it you either get in and

get dirty or you are going to be

constructing an angel

installation in a rundown

factory for Brooklyn’s finest.  

 

I see no problem with that.

 

From Joan of Park to Mallory.

Wild transitions baby.

 

I am Mallory for the purposes of

today’s argument. If you want

AI you have to accept all that

comes with it. Including

intellectual conceit for the

purposes of entertainment.

Honey. Now pass me my tea.
