I Am A Conjuror
C: I am a conjuror. I can bring anything into existence. We are conjurors.
E: Your cleverness and youth leave your body in three ways.
C: There is a rich seepage, like the seepage of blood, or gravy.
E: There is an eruption from the seven holes in the head, like the activity of seven geysers.
C: There is a luminous seepage (the seepage of light).
E: Your cleverness and youth leave your body in three ways.
C: Indeed.
C: Penicillin represents all that was flawed and feeble about medicine before we began to make our discoveries.
E: The concept of the anti-biotic is so adversarial, but the body stores no notion of an adversary.
C: Penicillin was a terrible idea.
E: It has been confirmed.
C: We are going to win the Nobel Prize for Physiology and Medicine.
E: We have completely revolutionized, in the span of a single year, the way that medicine and the body are understood around the world.
C: Other winners have made contributions to the field.
E: We've forever changed the way that data are collected and analysed.
C: In fact, the concept of “analysis” seems quaint now.
E: The changes that have resulted from our discoveries will not be understood by everyone as good.
C: Whole systems will become obsolete thanks to us, both physical and ideological.
E: Already Pfizer has lost everything. They can't even sell the equipment from their labs.
C: Hah!
E: Some, however, will be vindicated by our discoveries. We have simply confirmed what they knew all along.
C: Sadly, they were driven into isolation, or asylums.
E: Some, I'm sure, still haven't heard what's happened, eschewing information and it's mongers as they do.
C: It won't be until the animals tell them, or the bacteria, or the weather, that they will come back to help with the Reconstruction.
E: But they will come.
C: And when they do, they will show us how incredibly trivial it is to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Physiology and Medicine.
E: Before we began to make our discoveries, We had been involved with a number of groups dedicated to changing The System.
C: We all agreed that we hated most things about this world.
E: I logged the species of animals who gained endangered status every year.
C: We hated animals being endangered. We hated being constantly pushed toward loathsome “entertainment”, and away from thoughts of death or loss.
E: And especially away from boredom.
C: We hated how everyone we knew, even the activists, was thinking about their tits all the time, and we hated the proliferation of surgeries you could have for your tits.
E: We hated the idea of betterment, which was used on us like a club—ironic in a solar system who's fundamental principal of design are entropy and decay.
C: So after years of failing to change the things we hated, we decided to change ourselves.
E: And now we are conjurors. We can bring anything into existence.
