The Dramas of a Non Euclidean Asymmetrical Beast

05/03/18

I do not comply with the laws of this universe

I’m disarticulated from this physical fabric

Indefinite

Torn, and repulsive, that’s all you can perceive

Look at my snout, my terrible and revolting fangs, and my distasteful tongue.

Coarse lips adorn a sickening muzzle

Unnatural spheres fill my eye sockets

Fur covers my body

Look at my claws, how rough and disproportioned they are

I’m trying so hard to speak, but the only thing you listen is my bark

Notice how impossibly awful I am

And yet I survive

You are right

I am as hideous as it can be

Children fear me

Maybe they’ll think I’m peculiar at first sight

Then they’ll realize I’m an abomination

I am not geometrically correct

I don’t follow the axioms

Those constraints that could normalize me

Euclid and those restrictions are my modern rivals

I am skew and all wrong

In this hyperbolic world you will curve away from me

I perceive we will be ultraparallels

I wish we could naturally intersect

              I am Julio Ortiz ↑ 

Gaslight

10/07/18

Green, sometimes blue.

Those lights never know how to shine.

Blown, sometimes blown.

Each light will be confined in a shrine.

Ask me again how to lit them,

because I’ve forgotten how to.

Red, mainly red.

These lights are burning with flames.

Fear, maybe fear.

That’s surely the fuel they taste.

Ask me again if I’m burning,

for I can’t feel my own skin.

Yellow, I see yellow.

I rather prefer them a bit warm.

Sweetness, a dash of sweetness.

Darkness is whisked away with your smile.

An Inconvenient Truth

01/05/18

Humanity is at the brink of extinction.

The hand that feeds has been bitten.

The rim is closing.

Oblivion is at hand.

White paint is derived from calcium and bones.

Solar panels pollute as much as petrol.

Roses are constantly plagued when grown.

Thorns are not a defensive asset.

Glue is constituted by horse collagen.

Do not talk to strangers.

Enjoy an art museum once in a while.

Turn off the lights if you are the last one to go.

Carry an umbrella in February.

Also in March.

Avoid eating fast food.

Run in Zig-Zag in event of a mass shooting.

Remember that it’s OK to hide.

People starve to death.

Don’t waste food.   

Ask for cones when eating ice-cream.

Corrosion is unstoppable.

Aeons away

You went astray

You left me to rot

In my own decay

With hands made of clay

You gave me my May

The last gift of my days

Inside the Pods

17/10/16

 FOR YOUR INFORMATION

Hearts have ESCAPE PODS in case of emergency.

These pods are programmed to crash in the nearest M-Class¹ planet, then a distress signal is sent to the Recovery Brigade², revealing the exact location and status of the soul.

Escape pods are activated when a crisis arises, or when the integrity of the hull is compromised.

If an emergency arises REMAIN CALM and follow the instructions:

1.  Follow the fluorescent signals until you reach the EMERGENCY PROCEDURE KIT³.
2. The KIT will guide you to the escape pods.
3. Upon you arrival to the escape pod center, get into a pod and close the hatch. 
4. Fasten your seatbelt and detach from the ship.
5. You will experience zero gravity and severe turbulence upon crashing on the planet, DON'T PANIC!
6. Remain calm and wait. HELP IS ON THE WAY!

The soul has always the option of entering the pod, or staying in the falling ship.

Remind yourself that using the escape pods leaves you with a high chance to survive and be rescued.

Should you choose to stay in the compromised ship you are in great peril.

If you require further assistance contact your superior or seek help with your partner.

Always follow the emergency instructions.

¹Telluric planets that have the same characteristics of Earth from Solar System 1. 

²NGO dedicated to the rescue of lost individuals through vacuum. Contact your superior for more information.

³Box that contains the necessary survival items and a survival guide book.
