Also, they do core sampling of experiences
to extract the different plans, from above: a
sphere; three cardboard boxes; two other bo-
xes; two white mice with blue ears, tail, and
paws—one of which is holding a pen and the
other a notebook; four boxes. The mice are
the only inhabitants of the third floor that
are white; the other elements are graying
like certain loads of fine plaster dust. Some-
how, they're already worn out, and continue
to be.
Still, it was the bacteria that curdled the
scene: a morass became solid and took a cen-
trifugal form. There were no handholds for
the look that always ends up outside the ini-
tial trajectory. Two frog legs emerged from
the foam together with two pieces of algae,
the extremities of the first beginning to in-
tertwine. They freeze because the lights were
turned on.

To extract the accidental production of ec-
stasy and overcome it, you improvise the di-
stance through a process of decomposition.
The bandage denies the object its functiona-
lity and protects it, reabsorbing it in the
sphere of dreams, where the participation of
the Other is planned, simultaneously active
and passive. The same thing happens to those
who want to look and read—testimony, out
of sync by definition. And yet, the very fact
that you find yourself here and now to testify
begins to suggest a trend and direction, the
interpretation of each chapter through forms
of proximity and coexistence.
But it remains to be seen whether the desire
that viscerally drives us toward these ambi-
guous lures of experience (Plot no. 1 and
no. 2) is for “well-being.”

Stay in bed, float upstream
...
Everybody seems to think I'm lazy
I don't mind, I think they're crazy
Running everywhere at such a speed
Till they find there's no need
(There's no need)
