usaw it ona blog called
quasar luxury
it had lotsand lotsof likesand reblogs
but u followedthe blog
b/c the sailboat was pretty cool
seemed like something you might want toincorporate into yr personal aesthetic
it was unclearwherethe sailboathad come from
a sort oftransluscent film
reflecting yr inner selfwithout completely obscuring it

there was a linkon the blog
to a twitter page called Blackhole Satin
(there was no name, unless Blackhole Satin was a name
#infinitewindows was striking to youb/c it suggested both a multiplicity of perspectives
(freedom) /// (possibility) /// (anopening)but also a reflexive and narcissistic hyperstasis
(collapse) /// (dissolution) ///sta nation

thehashtag
(youknew)
signals a collectivizationanabsorption into a memetic collective
Infintite reflection into the periscopic hall of mirrors
into which we cast our eternal disembodied gazeso u did not click thru #infinitewindows, fearful youwould fall
into
a fun - house/wormhole
the #infinitewindows
seemed like something
an artist might
make art about
or a philosopher
might philosophize on
but when itreally
came down toit
still, u were careful not togive the notion too muchpower
and the artist/philosopher would have created it, so they could destroy it too

seemed like a word that would describe a nice wristwatchor a car, but not anything having to do with space
but space was pretty cool
and the words in combination with one another certainly had some promising aesthetic

some weeks went bywith little change in yr personal aesthetic///senseof self
with its dual threat/promise of#infinitewindowsand its vague suggestion of a new sonicaesthetic
had not, as you had feared, fixed the lens of yr minds eye
on a mirror condemned you to the same fate as
Narcissus staring into the pool
so u clicked the link
but one day you checked yr twitterand there was

it was then that you laughedor rather, you remained silent,
but it was then that you might have laughedbecause as you clicked thru the linkanother window sprung openand you recalled the hashtagwere you doomedin your passive and inconsequential yetundeniable interestin blackholesatinand interstellar luxuryand quasars
and infinite windows
to be implicated in the perpetual,vacuusand ultimately
erection of an infinite slew of transparent membra
a billion shiny andattractive
but inconsequential films
layered endlessly upon one another
but never adding up toanything besides
sheen
passivity

it was as if, in that moment, the disparate worlds governed by space and luxu
collapsed entirely and in their implosion spawned a swirling semiotic black hole,which whirled images (rendered in your brain like half- remembered faces) of diwatches, lumbering SUVs, sailboats, and mariah carey, along with the celestialdust, and plasma that comprised your tenuous grasp of the concept of outer sp
words no longer evoked images or sounds, and sounds no longer madeyou think of
images and words, and images no longer conjured up linguisticassociations, or echoes of asubterranean aural stream. the three realms chaotically spun togetherand divorced from the mechanisms of your increasingly immaterial brain.you suddenly realized that it was not worth asking whether the world wasan infinite succession of indistinguishably reflexive and translucent
