I want to give up because I can’t be the friend I want to be or be the friend that I think you deserve. I think I constantly fail at this. OK, tell me what you have done in the last month that shows you aren’t a good friend, says Asia. Constant meltdowns and selfish behavior. Not being there and supportive enough for you. OK, you have bipolar disorder and you are unmedicated; I know this and I accept it. Having a meltdown on its own doesn’t make you a bad friend. You have also listened to my vents and said kind things. What selfish behavior? Like only thinking of myself. Like today, I asked you about school, and I didn’t let you finish and I butted in with my stuff. That is true – is that it? Lots of other stuff I’m sure but I can’t think right now. I feel I constantly mess up and it negatively affects us. I’m always failing. No, I don’t think so, says Asia. I accidentally interrupt people all the time. Doesn’t mean I ruined my relationship with them. Just means I apologize and move on. Relationships with other people are messy, she says. I need to be better. There’s no excuses. You deserve better and I’m not doing enough. You are getting better, she says. You are asking yourself for perfection and that is impossible. No one is going to be perfect, she says.

I treasure my conversations with Asia because she gives me needed perspective and support This particular conversation happened a couple days ago and it proved difficult, repetitious, tedious, and I feel stubborn-headed foolish But I still treasure it because Asia loves me and speaks to me from love and through love Even upset and frustrated with me, she continues to love me I will continue to record these conversations, interspersed with other, materials, and experiments to preserve my psyche and remember

You literally haven’t done anything, says Asia. When you asked me for examples all you could think of was that you interrupted me. That's it. You are currently having a meltdown at least once a week and that was all you could think of… Please acknowledge how far you’ve come and your successes. Instead you want to convince yourself that you failed for no reason. Ben, I know that I say that I’m not going anywhere, but I need you to know that I am free to leave whenever I want; I choose to stay because you are my friend and currently think you are being unfair to yourself, says Asia.

I think this will end in failure anyway, I say. I ruin everything. I think I will ruin our friendship irreparably. I’m going to leave you and I deserve no friends. I deserve alone. That isn’t true, says Asia. It’s what I feel. It feels inevitable… I don’t think you are actually going to listen to what I say right now I guess just let me know if there is anything you want me to say, she says. I’m rather disappointed that you left the server for the sole purpose that they are your friends and they care about you. They don’t really deserve that, says Asia. They don’t deserve me as a friend. If you say. I’m a shit human being. They deserve a better friend than me. So don’t say they don’t deserve that. Me leaving would be the best for everyone. Jesus Ben, just because you are being an asshole to yourself doesn’t mean that others don’t care for you and aren’t hurt wen you do this shit, says Asia. Don’t you think the short term of this stuff, if I stay out of everyone's lives forever, outweigh the long term of continuing to know me? It’s not short term though, says Asia. You go back when you’re better… I better stop I might say some unkind things. Say whatever is true – say unkind if you want, I say. I will say that it’s pretty silly how this all started because you refused to admit that you have made progress, says Asia, and that you wanted EVEN MORE progress, so much that it caused you to do this, making an awkward situation for future Ben when all you had to do was step away from a minute. Like your obsession with perfection led you to hurt your friends which is the opposite of what you wanted… There will be a future Ben who will pick up the pieces because there always is, and I will forgive him, I have already forgiven him, and they will forgive you too, but it upsets me that you did this again, and maybe I shouldn’t say anything because you’re already upset, but it’s not very fair to treat your friends like this JUST so you can have proof of how shitty you are to justify your feelings. Like, you notice the patterns, right? You convince yourself that you failed, you convince yourself that you are a piece of shit. THEN you proceed to do something to justify it so you can point at it and say, “see I’m right” like the actions are happening after you have already convinced yourself. Not before, says Asia.

You said nothing is making you stay, so I want to make you leave. Why do you want to make me leave? Because you said you’re free to leave any time and I thought I would get it over with and make you leave because I fear you will leave anyway. And I fear I will make you leave in the end anyway because I feel I won’t get better. No, because I want you to understand that I always had a choice. Yeah, and I think you’ll make the choice to leave me eventually because of who I am. God shut up. Jesus, you aren’t listening to anything I’m saying, are you? I have chosen to stay, through all of it, it was worse than this and I’ve stayed in the past. Jesus, I say “I actually have personal autonomy and choose to stay” and you take that and think, “I should force her to leave”. Fuck you and I’ll talk to you tomorrow. OK… You clearly pointed out the absurdity in my thinking and the insulting hurtfulness in my thinking… I can’t ask forgiveness from you if you’re here tomorrow, I will be here to talk to you tomorrow too… I already said I forgive you says Asia. And I’m allowed to say that and say fuck you. Yes, you are. I accept them both, your forgiveness and fuck you, I say.

No, I can’t write the Bible yet, at least not a full engagement I need to find me without Bible and Cross: what this ben between and beyond brushwork looks like (It’s possible despite what I said, says Asia, but I’m afraid that if you approach it because it’s comfortable, then you aren’t going to have a fresh perspective. You have to be able to look at it like it’s a strange thing, she says)

What bad work have you been working on? says Asia. I have been working on copying boring work from Kenneth Goldsmith, a conceptual poet who also writes boring stuff on purpose. So I am breaking two of my rules: being boring and copying someone else exactly. Then I am also recording my process and thought transparently, without metaphor and in plain language. More boring writing. Also working with some sound experiments. Just playing around with sound like sound poetry, you know? Without semantics. Trying to get beyond my subjective tastes… What's weird with all this “bad” writing: I really like the results and I am enjoying the process… Carl Stalling was a composer for Looney Tunes and John Zorn said Carl Stalling’s music follows not traditional musics forms (theme development, variations) but a new kind of form: following the action of the screen… I think your criticisms back in the day of my work not being continuous and cohesive through kind of made me obsessed with continuity and it led me to some important development but I also think I have to find a new path: not a continuity of plot or even theme (god, woman) but one that takes a new form of following action of the screen:

Series of laboratory experiments, simultaneously self-contained and overlapping. Every page is a new experiment. They are unified by the fact they all happen in the same laboratory. I just need to experiment more, play more, be more attached to process and less attached to results.

Don’t worry if an END RESULT is good or bad, but about the process and journey itself and what to take and learn from it and refine my experiments, I say. That makes sense, says Asia. Question: when you say that you are writing boring things, is it stuff that you find boring and you are forcing yourself to reconcile with or stuff that others would find boring but you are reframing? Both I think, I say. I think those two boredoms overlap for me. I hope you find the laboratory as unifying element as inspiriting and I hope you feel excited about it too. I think so, says Asia. I’m excited to see what you come up with, she says.

You ever encounter a writer and you’re like, shit, this person is light years ahead? I ask Asia. Sometimes yeah, she says. But I’ll be honest with you, not a whole lot of good published writers out there, and in the past having someone tell me that they were a writer – I was usually skeptical and right about being so. The ones that bragged about being writers sucked ass at writing. I still remember this one guy in college who was in my classes (I have a few stories about this guy), he came to me in the writing center and was like, “Can you read my book?” I was like “Um no, I will not sit here and read your whole book, but I’ll humor you and read a chapter”. His dialogue was awkward, his analogies and metaphors made no sense, the name of his main character kept changing… I was like, “Dude, did you write this thing high?” (Just kidding) I did actually give him constructive criticism because I’m nice. He didn’t come back to the writing center though. I think he was trying to impress me and it didn’t work. I later found out he was actually older than me which was wild because he was so immature. He would join me for study groups and he would always interrupt the class with wild questions and try to argue with the professor, says Asia.

I had poet Paul Celan in mind when I asked Asia I read Paul Celan: his compact late poetry crates ghost cobwebs in my word brain axe animal (I hear the axe has flowered / sword blossom calligraphic brush flesh) Paul Celan challenges me: be a better writer I have so much to write: I photograph book body black paintings pint pom blood body Body bear beer blood Blood beer bear body mauls abandoned malls the mere moat of prophets

I make an effort to extend experiments longer than I’m comfortable with     I make continual engagement with a variety of poetries     I don’t want to worry about continuity or attempt to make a cohesive engagement with texts (perhaps akin to how John Zorn describes the work of Carl Stalling: not a music that follows traditional musical forms of development, theme, and variation, but of following the action on the screen: a different kind of continuity that involves cartoon movement of bodies     to embrace the Book as BODY ACTION and BODY MOVEMENT: movement of bodies in texts and through texts, the absurd cartoon anchovy apocalypse     To embrace the Book inside a different cohesion and continuity – more accurately, continuities and cohesions, the multiplicities and rhizomes of continuities / communities – not a Book that follows any particular plot or even engagement with a particular theme or idea, but an exploration of many themes and ideas and texts (following the visual logic of the screen action)     Book as a series of experiments: experiments self-contained but overlapping and interacting, an accumulation and agglutination of techniques and texts     Vignettes and tableaus within the Book-As-Laboratory     Book as an open field and Book as playground     Book as human bodies animal bodies bodies earth divergent orbits microcosm-macrocosm multiverses     Accept both successful experiments and failed experiments: failed experiments still teach and give possible future directions and ideas     Siege against and beyond subjectivity and subjective tastes (You know the day destroys the night   night divides the day   tried to run tried to hide: break on through to the other side   break on through to the other side   break on through to the other side…)

I would tell her to chill out, get mental health help, leave the church, and that it’s OK to be a little gay, says Asia. That's good advice for younger Asia, I say. Think an alternate version of me with facial piercings and an ex-girlfriend, she says.

I was writing about us, I say. A conversation from one or two months ago where you were chastising me for continually making myself spiral and putting myself in those situations purposefully. I wrote that I record these events for two reasons. One is it reminds me what a great friend you are, that you really do care for me unconditionally. The second is a document that I’m changing and transforming for the better. You really are the greatest friend anyone could probably ask for. Oh dang, says Asia. Thank you. I hope you feel appreciated by me, I say. I am trying. I do feel appreciated, she says. I see it in your writing and the way you listen when I talk. I’ll say this again, even in your worst meltdowns, you don’t shut me out and you (eventually) listen to what I have to say even when it’s criticism. You seldom argue with me. It shows that even when you aren’t seeing completely clearly, you value my input. I trust your judgment, I say. I’m glad, says Asia. I do my best to honor that trust even when I get frustrated, she says.

I’ve been thinking how Greek and Roman mythology had the concept of parents destroying their children so that they wouldn’t be usurped but being destroyed by their own children anyway, says Asia. The old gods, anxiety about being overturned, she says. Oh like the Oedipus Cycle, the Titanomachy, stuff like that, I say. Yeah. You worried your daughter is going to overthrow you? Hahaha maybe. Nah, I just think it’s interesting because it’s a pattern that shows up again and again, says Asia. In the Bible, there’s a theme of the younger favored over the older, I say. Which is a reversal of the expectation. The older had the inheritance usually. But there’s a constant usurpal of power and reversal of power in Bible stories, I say. And every Roman or “western civilization itself” is romanticized by the “return to modernity” crowd, says Asia. The “new gods” are now old and making the same mistakes as their parents, she says. Slavoj Žižek said, in the return to tradition, we invent tradition, I say. Even in Greek times, they longed for the supposed golden age and for arcadia, I say. Preventing progress out of fear, says Asia. Yes, a kind of understated apocalypticism maybe where we need to regress, not progress – former times were better, we live in the worst most deplorable and amoral times… this is a theme that constantly reappears, almost every generation it seems like… do you think people just feel uncomfortable with the new? Like they want to live with what they’ve always lived? Yeah, says Asia. There’s a fear of the unknown,. The funny thing is that their romanticized “better past” is 100 percent made up mythology so their ideal never existed either. Unknowns on all sides, says Asia. Yes, there is no golden age, there is no arcadia – same with the apocalypse. It’s always arriving, never arrives. If only we thought the same way about the kingdom of God – that it’s always arriving and we could continually make it arrive, I say. There are lots of Christians who think that they can make it arrive, says Asia. By persecuting sinners and starting wars in the middle east.

I revisit the poetry of Gerard Manley Hopkins the thin gleanings of a long weary while As Paul Griffiths describes the rediscovery of Charles Ives’ use of quotation and collage as an affirmation rather than an influence to composers like Luciano Berio and Bernd Alois Zimmermann, so Gerard Manley Hopkins affirms my use of alliteration and assonance and intuitive (sprung) rhythm rather than influences it – but now I choose Hopkins as an influence I reject his struggles with his creativity and god but I accept his poetry as my own I make and feel the fell of dark, not day – but unlike Hopkins I dwell in dark as desert dance I wake awry wake feel fell of dark I wake awry wake cell fall dark then dark deer I make draw dark down down dark dust: dust desert This day desert dual desert days fall dark Early dark not dark yet but it’s getting there Dark then distance

Jesus why do you do this? says Asia. You asked me what I thought about the past you even though you knew it would probably set you off and it’s all you can focus on now. We already talked about making it work and how to make time for it and adjust as we need to but for the love of god stop beating yourself up and doing things you know will cause you to spiral and definitely for the love of god stop asking me if I want to end or would be better off without the friendship, she says.

From a month of two months ago in conversation with Asia. I often forget the time frame and time scale of our conversations and my depressive episodes I feel my episodes occur frequently and with devastating severity and thus I can only process so much in writing I write these events for two primary reasons a reminder that Asia prove time and time again (without time rubato rain) she cares for me unconditionally and she loves me unconditionally and I have a permanent friend in her: but also, I transform and change and this documents my change for what I hope is more stability and less volatility, more trusting and trustworthy, a better friend I also note past benjamin saves a lot of conversations in his notes and I hate letting his efforts go to waste Go forth benjamin: love and transform

I frequently steal from the following texts: I use many of Jerome Rothenberg’s poetry anthologies The works of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, Jacques Derrida and George Bataille, the music books Modern Music and After, 3rd edition, by Paul Griffiths and Experimental Music Since 1970 by Jennie Gottchalk, and many poems by Jackson Mac Low, Edmond Jabès, the LANGUAGE Poets, and Paul Celan…

Do you think anyone cares about me at all? Yeah, says Asia. Your friends and family. You were literally just telling me about how one of your friends thinks that your writing will change the world. I am not my writing though. I knew you were going to say that. Every other god damn time I’ve said something along the lines “you should put more of yourself in the writing”, you say something like “me and the book are inseparable” but now they are suddenly different. Plus it’s not like she met the writing first. I’m sorry. Why are you apologizing? I made you argue with me. I’m not mad. It was just a dumb argument. These thought patterns of “nobody cares about me” isn’t a logical argument and you in facts have mounds of evidence against it you have a to ignore or manipulate in order to justify the belief that no one cares about you. It’s easier to say that to say I don’t care about me. That’s fair, but just because it’s easy to say doesn't make it true. OK – I don’t think people should care about me because I don’t care about me. Too bad, people care about you because they see something worth caring about. Is that why you care? Yes. What do you see in me worth caring about? I feel like we have had this conversation before. If I said it all again, would it matter? Would you believe me? If it will I’ll do it… You have interesting insights on things especially when it comes to creativity, spirituality, and religion. You bring something fresh and unique to the table with your ideas and the way you think about things. You are always pushing the boundaries of ideas and concepts. You are pushing yourself (for better or worse) to be better and you have this open curiosity about other people and have a tendency to delight in others even when you don’t delight in yourself…

I was writing in my book something you said to me, I say to Asia. Oh yeah? “You told me once that you can’t separate the book from yourself and I’ll be honest with you, I thought you were deflecting when you said that, but I’ve thought about it some more and now I agree with you, you are constantly being created and recreated by the relationship you have with others and that’s what your book is about. And when others see it and read it they experience that too. We are all a symbiotic relationship with each other.” Correct, based, says Asia. Yeah, you’re right, I say. I also asked what you think the book is about. You said, reconstructing ben. I think that’s more than true than ever. I was writing about what it means to write without religion. To reconstruct today. To create a ritual, a creative ritual without religion… I also realize when you say, “Others get it too and experience that too” you also mean yourself. I didn’t pick up on that before. Correct, says Asia. I think my relationship is a little different because I don’t have a passive relationship – I’m constantly changing the Book, she says. Oh yes, you are right, I say. How do you think your active participation in it makes you experience differently from another reader? I have a creative relationship, says Asia. In a small way, I’m a co-creator: my conversations with you get incorporated and so does my criticism and recommendations, she says.

I rescued a fiery searches yesterday at work. I rescued the beetle and a lizard yesterday at work. I heard a commotion in the hallway and went out to see what was happening and a bunch of students were freaking out standing around a big beetle so I was like “move” and scooped it up. It was a pretty big beetle. I want a fiery hunter tattoo. All hail the fiery hunter, says Asia [she shares a drawing she made o the fiery hunter]. Dude I’m so excited about this bug. What a cool guy, says Asia. And to think I touched one yesterday. It’s like meeting a celebrity. Holy experience – it has blessed you, I say. It has, says Asia.

INTERLUDE: The Young Wayward Camel


… A young camel deviating from her path; a wild she-ass accustomed to the wilderness, sniffing the wind of her lust. Who can repel her desire? … and you said, No I love strangers, the different, the unknown, the Other, and will follow them...

… A restive young camel interlacing her tracks, a wild ass at home in the wilderness, in her heat sniffing the wind! Who can restrain her lust… But you said, it is hopeless, for I have loved strangers, and after them I will go…

I love strangers I love and lust for strangers as I lust for strange languages and other languages My own language and my own writing a stranger, this different, this other, this unknown Book and an unknown language And I worship and whore for this unknown rather than Yahweh I have intercourse with the other unknown language book gods and I refuse to return to the known Yahweh

… A skittish young camel, running back and forth, a wild donkey bred in the wilderness, sniffing the wind in her desire – who can restrain her lust? None seeking her need to tire themselves; in time they will find her. Stop wearing out your feet and parching your throat! But you say, no use! No? How I love these strangers, after them I must go…

In my not-so-organized research internet adventures, I once came across a cluster of what are reflexively repugnant: the idea of human head transplants, the 1940 motion picture Experiments in The Revival Of Organism, and other ethically unsound medicine (tangentially related: brain in a vat thought experiment, The Matrix, and other skeptical arguments) (I imagine Moore’s Argument as thus: here is hand Here is another hand Detached, isolated hands floating in black void) I encounter the topic of human head transplants again in Jacob Geller’s video essay Head Transplants And The Non-Existence Of the Soul and Jacob Geller not only discusses head transplants but its connections with other media, namely the video games SOMA, and the two Wolfenstein games subtitled The New Order and The New Colossus Geller posits the possibility – either in actuality or conceptually – of a head transplant in humans refutes any notion of a non-material eternal soul – at least this is how I remember the video I don’t remember when I stopped believing in a platonic soul, but Seventh Day Adventist soul sleep doctrine all but extinguished any notion of a non-material soul in my (material?) brain Write more head transplants and strange medical experiments and oddities: these medical experiments experiment emit eyelid grotesque body and body horror

I like this line, I say to Asia. Porneia pits me skin scars old scratch fuck whores hooves hodgepodge hell. Thoughts on writing more lines like these? I like it because it feels playful but also breaks out of the expectations and sort of shakes the mind a bit with new associations of language, I say. I like the line, says Asia, but too many of them in a row might make things muddled. It would be mixed up with other techniques. If it’s mixed in with other techniques then go for it, says Asia. I would like to incorporate multiple techniques and styles in the same work, I say.

I just want to say I’m very grateful for my time and conversations with you, I say. You contribute to my life in a positive way. I’m glad, says Asia. I’m not sure I would have the same trajectory with my relationship with you, I say. You say I have progressed and am transforming into a different person – I think a lot of that is from your encouragement and influence. Progress is progress, says Asia. Even if that is the case I’m pretty confident that you would maintain it on your own, she says. I acknowledge it comes from me, but you are like a catalyst that assists in my transformation. You speed it up. Good, says Asia. I’m glad. It’s hard being a catalyst, she says. In what way? I wonder maybe if some of my difficulties seem obvious to you and you think they are easily fixed but then I take a long time to figure it out. No, I’m not focused on your difficulties, says Asia. I’m focused on the good and what I believe you are capable of. It doesn't matter how often you melt down or have episodes. I don’t see that as representative of you or the best of you. It’s just when you aren’t well if that makes any sense, she says. Yeah that makes a lot of sense, I say. I have it flipped around often. I think the meltdowns are me and me when I’m well are the exceptions. I’m not trying to discredit your bipolarism or anything, says Asia. I’m not saying it’s not a part of you. I just know that’s not all you are, says Asia.

Conversations With Asia Of The Atom 05/18/2020 7:12 AM

I’ve been thinking of putting a tarot tattoo right above my Romans 8:18 tattoo, says Asia. A combination of the tower and the star. “Our current suffering cannot compare to the glory that will be revealed to us”. It would be a nice way to tie my old lifestyle into my new one, she says. [… after some further conversation… ] I feel the need to push my writing into even the more esoteric, the gnostic, the spiritual, I say. It is scary. Give it a try and see what happens, she says.


Asia has not yet gotten this tattoo but I have simultaneously deepened and abandoned my exploration of the occult-esoteric-gnostic-spirit No, not an abandonment, but a shift – shifted light and shorter light shatter anarchic – shift swift transformations Not abandonment but I write the sign saturated with my blood Write sign saturated bone signatures trace bits bone Bone big beat and bone campfire fat bottomed girls girl gospels girl signs gospel
