I've been working on myself since
I turned thirteen, a librarian lost
in the wasteland, contemplating
the conflation of religion with racist
nationalism. All the lines, shapes,
& illustrations stemming from this
are drawn as vector graphics. I have
six wind chimes in total now; it is
essential to match your brand ide-
ntity. So, color palette, tone of voice,
font face — line them up like ducks
in a row. Not for yourself but for
others to applaud. What they pick,
combined, may partner your persona.
Unless you were a prisoner
& the machine was designed
by Sir William Cubitt, life on
a treadmill was fairly simple
before TikTok came along. "The
12-3-30 workout is a low-imp-
act cardio workout. Set the
treadmill to a 12% incline &
walk 3 miles per hour for 30
minutes." No longer enough.
Now you have to dance on
them, preferably in tandem
with a friend on a parallel
machine, or wear the latest
fashion, or light a few candles
& walk on the treadmill at a
gentle pace in your pyjamas
with a cup of tea. 'Cosio cardio'
it's called. You can even repli-
cate making your way through
an airport with a backpack on,
speeding up if you're scared you
might miss your flight. A song
rises unbidden from my murky
mental depths. "The 12-3-30's
been & gone, doo-da, doo-da,"
sung to the melody of Stephen
Foster's 1850 Camptown Races.
Puts it in its temporal place. That
might be an anachronistic atti-
tude, & now politically incorrect,
but, hey, I'm sure you get the drift.

A variable is raised to the power of two (squared).
hip rotate half circle to right
This operation is denoted by a superscript "2" after the variable.
transfer weight to left foot
In medieval manuscripts, many superscript signs were used to abbreviate text.
hip rotate half circle to right
Abbreviations are often divided into three types: suspensions, contractions, &
symbols.
hip rotate half circle to left
Typographically, the ampersand, representing the word et, is a space-saving
ligature of the letters e & t, its component graphemes.
left foot to side, chasse right
The symbol was so popular in the early 1800s it was added to the end of the
English alphabet as the 27th letter .
very small step
It sounded strange to say and and, so people said "x, y, z, and per se and," be-
cause per se meant “by itself.”
lateral movement (minimal rotation)
"Killing two birds with one stone" would probably make sense if you said it to
someone in context.
hip does continuous figure 8 even on chasse for movement.
Because electrons are shared evenly
their symmetry has a kind of beauty,
producing 'patterns' that one thinks
can be identified. This inclination to
find patterns often carries over, even
when dealing with unrelated inform-
ation, is even applied to polarization
curves that do not form dipoles. There
are several strategies that can be used
to change such pattern thinking which
often comes from overheating through
having too many active apps. A simple
& effective one is to set the current to
zero. The system soon stops bubbling.
