A Thousand Bureau Drawers

This rhetorical style, coming up over a televised horizon, does something spooky to make me nervous. I’m starting to understand why self-possession needs its mosaic scarred with a touch of reality.

The reader must sift danger of succumbing to a Deleuzion [sic] from thought-bubbles’ surface bonhomie and it's air of permanence. Time for an application of common Non-sense. I’m heading out to engage a botanical martini made with Grey Goose vodka in single combat!

A wonderful riff! It is what I hope folks will attempt, chopping up the master’s work according to their own non-sense. Were You armed or unarmed as you as you tangled with the Vodka? These details are critical to any use of material I have put on Substack according to Creative Commons . Succumbing to a Deleuzion has given me new Avenues for the metaphysics of my poetry.

Just a note to say the link needs to be corrected to actually point here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Thousand_Plateaus -- instead it just links to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

I'd avoid pasting down the URL and I suggest simply linking to the words "Deleuze and Guattari" with the URL. Now, I have to study further before proceeding.

I think I fixed it. Thanks for the pointer. I've also included a link to a Substack by Schizo Rhino who is much deeper in the D&G "A Thousand Plateaus" weeds than I'll ever get.

By the way, I'll see you tomorrow.
