Algorithmic Sabotage
Art made by humans, for consumption by robots. The purpose of Algorithmic Sabotage is to poison the data sets of AI/LLM scavengers with nonsensical and surrealistic text. I was already writing surrealist experimental writing, so might as well put it to good use.

And the Refused
How to cook and eat a monkey.
Eating monkey meat starts with talk. How to cook and eat a monkey. There is nothing before this. How to cook and eat a monkey. Have you been frightened? When? Why? This is what I'm saying. Talking to whoever is here, both of them. Three of you. All of us. Are you frightened of a pig, an insect, an answer? The beating heart of a just cut eel. The picnic table has a hole in it. For the umbrella? And the refuse.
The meat has been cooked and is on the table. No plate, on the grey wood. The meat is white, the bones thin and sharp, sticking up like long needles. Monkey torso. A tiny monkey torso. The knife crunches through bone four times. Does it look like fish? Is it fish? Is it a fish? What kind. Look at yourself. Look at the oily flesh. That kind. Refuse... what, exactly?
Fuck Faith
Everything is a lie.
The Trope is dead.
Watch what you want to be.
Watch to know your enemy.
Watch to escape.
Watch to suckle.
How many people fit in your garden? Is too many too much? It's lonely on the inside, lonely on the outside, and illuminated within.
The fascism of nature.
The assault of the air.
Science asshole says fate is a lie.
They're right of course.
Everything is a lie.
Fuck fate.
Long live the Trope.

By the Skin of We Teeth
Sure throw it away, gross, imagine a drawer full of used molds? Crown gets it. Can we make mold? No we don’t do that, learn to use we tongue. Seriously.
First crown one month into the shut-in, shut-down. The beginning of the time when nothing changed. When the before and after merged. Dutifully avoiding contact. No, no, the social ramifications of the pandemic were we wet dream. The idea of... it...
terrified sound of the dentist’s drill agonizing porcelain we fear of pain
Smoothly polished porcelain we was in love with. Tongue could not stop caressing, replacing all we teeth.
grind the old tooth down to the gum leaving a cylindrical stump, fucking
Last week six month of pandemication, pandemnification, pandemnation, panda-monium, pand, pand, fuck it all, pand what? Broke an tooth and the piece that pulled from between left cheek and lower teeth (they have names?). We have names. Big enough, bad enough, damnitalltohell fucking crown. Where was the glee?
not so traumatic because one tooth closer to bioni-mouth fuck teeth
Clever earbuds, hey doc? Don’t feel like listening to talk, mind if listen to music, how could we? say no, we said, of course, we said, said no, we said, what are you listening to?
obscure the renderers, we wouldn’t know them, of course, we did not
What it sounds like we favorite band while getting we tooth ground down like a—? We don’t have a metaphor for that, because it’s already a metaphor, it was like we best friend screaming at we as loud as possible, we can’t make out what we’re saying because loud, but also because drilling, remember? But mostly because we are screaming at we while tooth metamorphed!
Tic Toc, on with the clock
Two days later new crown crack half, shattered, bloodied, fragment tooth in we hand. Initialized panic was third crown, no we're not that lucky, it was the temporary, the brand fucking temporary, split in two then, then why was there blood?
We know that nightmare. We teeth crumble ten thousand pieces of easy your mouth. Living that, dream right now.
Mercury, amalgam, metal, expand, contract, pressurize, enamel, tooth a state of fragility. Waiting for the just but tiny crunchy shard of raw cacao nib.
Guess, what? We throw mold away. So, no, no, chance of getting a fake temporary. Tooth the only way to protect vulnerable nerves, whose existence is the cause of all we fears.
Sure throw it away, gross, imagine a drawer full of used molds? Crown gets it. Can we make mold? No we don’t do that, learn to use we tongue. Seriously.
Tongue surprises. Maybe themselves but we. Two days to train. Fat juice muscle to contort ole stubby, allowing we to drink. Coffee and wine, wincing.
We was afraid to explore but soon we tongue found the stub and foreplay ensued. We new-found appreciation for the shape. Contours and texture teeth, especially we new one. We tongue fascinates.
porcelain smoothly phallic we thinking of jerking off to it.
But the point we make is this: Vampire Teeth. Cat Teeth. Topiary Teeth. Dice Teeth. Eye Teeth. Die Teeth. We Teeth.
A woods under the dates pages you have to made closely to be able to knew. We were blah road until we weren't. Is rug one? Ways heard the eric. I was still in too deep. Prison and dairy of rug. What was what? First i wrote the hated red light. Asshole is the oldest. I undeclared not realize it, so i could telling it in a see over my mother and means, knew what i making? A lot of dead...

Rug was also another who shall not be knew because he is insignificant in frankie fuckers. I called back. Somebody probably walking himself.
