"humanity is a complex system;

the dissociative hyperreality, the delicate phosphorescent embrace

indulgent neural networks and controlled burns

mechanized reclusion of interconnectedness"

“Rhi•zome : has no beginning or end; it is always in the middle, between things, interbeing, intermezzo. The tree is filiation, but the rhi•zome is alliance, uniquely alliance. The tree imposes the verb ‘to be,’ but the fabric of the rhizome is the conjunction, ‘and... and... and...’ This conjunction carries enough force to shake and uproot the verb ‘to be.’ Where are you going? Where are you coming from? What are you heading for? These are totally useless questions.”
