Ko di roboting (KO Die Robot[thing])

(i)

[…now really how you can say ‘you got a call waiting’ When I am calling you at a public phone… come on… how stupid do you think I am…]

//it’s not that, it’s just that you make me nervous when you driving and talking on the phone, you know//

[You don’t even have to go to the bathroom, you just worried about my driving and talking on the phone… Come on man… Look! If it makes you feel better, I’m following all the rules of the road; I’m buckled up, following the speed limit, stopping every three hours, only drinking light beers… and… uh… I’m talking to you on the handsfree…]

//that’s what worries me, you know you talk with your hands and from the frequency of the wind sheer you are way above the speed limit//

[The frequency of the WHAT!?…that’s bogus and you know that man… All that’s trivial, because you want to hang up on me, for no reason, because we’ve been talking for two hours and now you get concerned about safety… you taking me for a fool…]

//Forget about it!//

[About what]

//Never mind//

[Hmmm…Where was I before I was so lucidly interrupted?… Ah yes… The reason I believe the archaeological study of burial rites will better demonstrate… aah, fuck it , even I’m bored with it… uhm… is it safe to smoke in the car with the windows up and the A/C on? I mean like, will the vehicle implode?]

//How should I know//

[You the scientist, you know, and we artists are bums asking for a little change from the machine…]

//Whatever man//

[What’s the name of your new thing… your newest invention the universal transgender]

//universal translator//

[Explain that shit to me again, that’s some astral shit… wait, wait, I want to wake up C___ up for this… no scratch that… he’s out of his mind… he’s not coming back anytime soon… OH FUCK, the lens Cap is on! That’s so fucking awesome; we got two hours of the trip with the lens cap on! C_______ you, you, you… Genius, you…]

{*}

//Maybe the mic is on and in that case, all is not lost//

[do you always have to think like that]

//Like what? //

[Cold, calculating, fixing all the time – can’t anything stay broken for you?]

//What’s this about?//

[You know what, you won’t see it for yourself! Just forget about it, tell me about your Frankenstein]

//I’m starting to get the feeling you are mocking me//

[Why would you think that?]

//I’ve explained my work to you on three separate occasions… though there’s no sarcasm, that I can detect, I can’t shake my gut feeling that you get some kind of kick from getting me to go over it again and again//

[No, no, I find it interesting really, it’s just that when I try and put it back together myself, it just doesn’t work… I just want you to put the pieces together for me]

//this is the last time//

[It can’t be I’m driving I can’t take notes]

//then I’ll tell you, then, when you can//

[Come on now I’ve been going on and on about “Ice-lollies Triangle”]

//Which I still have misgivings about, I mean you use at taped lecture of mine on the most banal of mathematics, chopped to pieces to explain the gradient of a melting ‘vanilla ice cream’//

[I told you I never meant that, and it’s not my fault that you saw it that way, my theme is always children and I told you how it all came about]

//that story of your young nephew, listened to the lecture and he plomped his ice cream on the floor and studied it melting is – a little too coincidentally symbolic//

[Your reading too much into it]

//I can also disassemble your symbolism premise further, isn’t your nephew multi-racial and how you wished that for your nephew’s sake he didn’t get the ‘white liberal’ gene from his father… it all adds up man//

[You are paranoid, I can’t control what you see… It’s all those accolades… they taking up too much space in your head. I told you not read the reviews… You were best new comer for which installation?]

//’Density: threadbare destiny’//

[That’s the one. With the projection of your creation of a synthetic reality]

//I guess you can say so//

[I really liked the vocal dub, the voice artist was on point]

//She was a professional, she had the perfect pitch octave ratio//

[Man that’s so inhuman – was she hot?]

//You took her home that night//

[That was Zip?]

//Yeah//

[You sound disheartened… you’ve piqued my concern]

//Nothing really, it’s like you used her, you know… that’s what people saw//

[What the fuck! Who is people? - - are people saying I shaved her head, I got her strung out on some counter culture trip]

//Basically. You must admit she wasn’t the same after dating you//

[Fuck you and fuck them man, that’s what really ashes my knuckles. Y’all don’t know shit and draw conclusions. I was hardly with that girl two weeks. Two weeks out of the twenty two years she’s had on this planet - - and I was the one thing that damaged her]

//It’s easier this way! I don’t really see it that way, but I can’t stop thinking it’s my fault, it’s irrational, I know, but it’s there//

[Fuck you and Fuck them]

//Did you hear that the Cape model who was at the Marius auction on Donny’s arm is going to marry some wrestler from that American mock-wrestling TV show//

[Hero or Villain]

//a second string neutral//

[Ouch! I knew Donny had to have had paid that girl. It didn’t have to come back and bite him like this… what’s your source]

//Calum & Kgopotso’s blog//

[They know their shit, that’s no rumour - - I need to stop for gas, stretch my legs,  have a cigarette… let me let you go until we connect later]

//Cool//
