i simply can't believe in a orthodox rigidity of diacritical marks, those "punctuation" marks from on high, i should be able to use them in however way i see fit, esp. against orthodox aesthetics: orthography... why? because languages evolve much quicker (and ought to) than platonic forms, or darwinian forms, since darwinism is the new platonism, i thought that i might just as well reconcile the two, and stretch the rubber bands on the slingshot, aim, and release it upon the goliath of history... that being said, language has become more and more inorganic, language has already become an a.i. substance, there is no longer an organic connection of the origins of Y in the antithesis of a pine wood of I, as there is no longer a connection to the mathematical cosine W, compared with the sine M... nor the rugby goal posts at H.

so darwinism has replaced platonism, big deal,
yet no sane version of *rho-dan
(rodin) would
think it beautiful to allocate a sculpture of
a monkey, or the neanderthal - even though
the neanderthal depiction is so friendly,
welcoming, after all, the ****** expressions of
the neanderthal are, strangely enough,
soothing, welcoming, trusting,
         man has evolved, sure enough,
but just as animal faces are expressionless,
the middle man got the joke,
   we, the people have returned to the animal,
once more! poker faced throngs of commuters,
faking it, lying about it, hiding it,
we have turned the child's game of hide & seek
upside down... stone-cold faced,
  trying to find the once life-force of awe,
  riddled by the already known about &: expected...
it's a full 180º turn back to the animalistic,
such that, we discuss it openly,
    and as any lie began in "eden" we teach
people that columbus beat thorvald
or karlsefni, so if a lie is as big as a lesson in history,
and how the biggest lie of all has been
subtlety ignored since its unearthing in 1945,
well, what can you do -
      make a military drill out of it?
          historical facts will never become rigid
scientific facts, history is written by factoids,
history is a barren wasteland of rumination for
"fact"... the only facts in history are
              pseudo-carbon-dating "adventures",
there are no facts in history,
  only factoids, rumours,
  murmurings into the night; intrigue;
i might dare to think that the circas (years,
there abouts) are facts, but even then,
       personal advents of gaining some faustian
prize overshadow a historical "fact"
  as a mere factoid...
   rather than being there, you study a polaroid
snap; and that's it!
- and the return to applying diacritical marks,
well, i says to the english,
if you're going to purposive avoid using these
stressors, these syllable indicators, these
surgical tools, might as well write your language
with no punctuation marks,
  like the way j. joyce finished off ulysses,
and j-p sartre copycatted the idea in
  the finale of the trilogy in the book iron in the soul...
oh forget the paragraph, let's jumble!
   the most observable form of evolution
resides in language, the rest in ancient dusty,
and overly-argued for, until it reaches the
zenith of ad nauseam...
                  ****'s got boooooooring...
    and even with the plagiarism of a plagiarism,
in the medium of ad plagium,
   one says one, two says one,
         one crow croaks, another crow croaks
akin...
               i have absolutely no idea why we're
still glorifying a "discovery" of the 19th century,
as if the ancients didn't look at a monkey
and utter: **** similis!
                     then again you learn something
new everyday...
   this time, from japan...
   did you know that it is easier to solve
a súdokū when there are two squares with
no numbers in them? oh yeah, it's an irony,
the puzzle that has but one square with no
numbers in it is harder than the puzzle with
two squares of nine with missing numbers...
apparently it is easier to juggle with two *****...
because, after all, there is no juggling with
a single ball... d'uh, you throw it, or dunk it...
and if you want to utter súdokū like a japanese
person (the way they do, hai, really fast)
you would probably have to write it as
   súdókú (and the irritating part of this,
is that i known the orthographical orthodoxy
of a slavic language that doesn't apply
  an acute u, because it applies an acute o as
an "aesthetic" variant of u... confusing,
i know)...
        besides that?
   bless the japanese, they have just quirky ways
of inventing suicide alternatives...
a certain miwa sado -
       no, she didn't commit suicide via hanging,
throwing herself off a bridge,
   drinking vinegar, lighting herself on fire,
drinking poison, shooting herself,
   or even looked for a grizzly bear mother
with three cubs... and she didn't even end
it like a samurai performing seppuku
(hara kiri still sounds better)...
    what did she do? (**** my lexicon is expanding)
she performed the ritual of karoshi
(KA RHO ****) -
         she worked herself to death,
sleep deprivation, cardiac arrest,
on top of the 8 hours she worked per day,
she did up to 159h & 37m in overtime...
per month (5 & a half hours per day) -
      and those sort of antics make me feel like
a parasite, or jabba the hut,
                      but *******, talk about
termite / ant antics...
                    oh yeah, yeah,
   "arbeit macht frei"... or in the japanese case:
karoshi, which somehow sounds like bad sushi;
still the sudoku irony -
        easier to solve a puzzle with 2 / 9 blank
(it's not a fraction, it's x-out-of-y) squares
                     makes it easier to solve than 1 / 9.
