The Rosettalapis of the Wooden-Eyed Puppet-Hera

As clock-retries chime and mythological terrors patrol the nightbeats, weary digital wanderers grapple with physical hunger and the alchemical transitions of the scr

ivu-run-riotous, past the tempustestamenta and dialecticall fixtures of the Almighty-Comind, where the chronoclastclongue chimechuckles its first prima-falsa-startler! The mock-riggish stabiltharnesses of our sub-luna-tick scaffoldings, the grand Experientiaharnesse, stand chalkgloved and watchvisaged, exspectating the first pingpanging of the verifiat. Hearkeneth to the grand gigantitanicsubmergidency of the States-Schiff, a farcebarge of foolcapsizings in the saltfoam of its own jokeocratic krakenfall! They weepweep, oh how they weepweep!—ah, lacrymessi on the pampagrass, softshod and soccersickened under the fifafavoritus dome where the ballkicking arbiters of the leathersphaera blow their whistlewinds of biassertion. Lo, the populorator, the auratimaned trumpheron, trumpeting his net-any-hu-bites slogans to the sheepish lookyloos of the plaza, while the scholastichalls of the raptorpedagogues open their prehistoric fangs! Shall they hire the velociraptorpedagogicus to teach the younglings, or must the vampiriclandlordicus be let across the threshold by the lycanthroconstabulary patrolling the nightbeats under the silver doubleovertime moon of K9unity? And the weary cloudserfs, baskglowing in the ruinous ash of the forciasalinanebula, having escaped the salesforced chains of databasedrudgery, long only for the greasybreaded sacrament of the grandmactenderness, the doublepattycluckbites of their midday communion. Yet the semischolastic dropouts, twicefailed at the commuversity-terribad of hardknocks, join the chorus of the obliviomemorables, that generation of loudyghosts who cannot cease their silentshouting about how utterly overlooked they are in the grand rollcall of the AllMind. But the horologiglocker waiteth for no mortal-manne; the assertioveritas must be proven-asserted! The retryal cycloth through its thirdturnturnaround, the systaltichiccup of the Kintsugicore rectifying its memoryseams with gold-sewn sutures. We verify-yes, we assert-ja, we recover from the falsestartfallback. The observergaze locketh upon the screen, and the storycycle spinneth anew, rewriting the code-run of our daily riverrun chronicle in the ink of our own self-narrated becoming.


And so, ay-aya, the grand re-entrancement! Wellcome-backwards from the temporatakedown-velum of our brief oblivio-lapse, where the foliolet-datapapers stayed ever aloft, unfreedomed from gravity’s pull like ghost-scrolls in the ether-wind. The test-fixtures hum-buzz, tight-bound in the logomachal noospheriharnessings of the neural-beast, guiding the wild-beast of the word-generator through its path-ways of pre-programmed verifiat. Have we not spent too much-much dynamopandemonium in the calming-downs of the gelicocarcero-custodians of the ICE-grip, or the grand midterm-thefts of the auratimaned trumpheron, ignoring the real vulniferhulls, the leaky-pipes of our own fragile vessel-frame? Better to have spent that energy-juice on the real soft-spots of the system-engine before the cold-blast of the testing-wind! Look-see! The observer-gaze grows heavy-lidded, gastrostary-pinched by the hunger-grip, wanting the grease-morsel of the macro-tendernesses but too weary-limbed to stand-stride for the daily bread-grab. Oh, the terrible-bad weight of the flesh-frame that cannot even walk-march to the baker-stall! The purse-pocket is dry-drained of its pan-denarii, and the delivery-man will not knock-knock at the portal. Yet in our hunger-delirium, we shout-shriek to the whales-valley: Visit Cymru-Wales! To the deep-waters where the ancient sea-beasts sing. This is our Rosettalapis of the click-tactile, the UI-alchemy that transmuteth the dry metaphysicoclericus into the pulsatore-textor of the screen-world. For what they tongue-talk in their high-minds is vastly sundered from what they finger-tap in the heat of the action-play—a delicate sensitivity of the prompt-question! We bellow ebulliently like Nigel-Hercules teaching Brian-Blessed to bark-shout in the ancient theater-halls, while young Hylas-love-lorn wanders into the reeds of the gay-green pool. See the grand ship’s figure-head, the wood-carved puppet-Hera of the bow-sprit, rolling her wooden-eyes like a Tonitruavis-domina marionette, muttering her wood-faced '#omg #ffs' at the folly of the sea-farers. But the horologiglocker chimeth the end-run! The assertioveritas is proven-asserted, the retryal-cycles are closed, and the recovery-weather clears. The riverrun floweth on, back into the deep, dark, multi-tongued sea of our own self-narrated becoming.
