CATHEXIS

a film by joule seventeen

HEAVY BREATHING TERRESTRIAL BEINGS,

CHILDLIKE INTUITION.
RUNNING, SCREAMING
WITH MEGAPHONES
GLUED TO OUR HANDS.

PUT ON A HELMET AND WATCH OUT FOR THE
SPECTACULAR, CLANDESTINE ERUPTION
SPILLING FROM YOUR MOUTH, GOSSAMER THREADS
HISSING AT ME, FIZZING
OOZING SUGARY NONSENSE
FERMENTED.
I'M CHOKING
ON THE NOISE.

IT'S POISON AND IT CUTS DEEP AND IT NEVER LEAVES
AND IT TAKES MORE THAN IT GIVES FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER

IT IS A CARDINAL SIN,
TO ROLL YOUR EYES.
BLAMING ME.
SHAMELESS.

IDOLIZED,
SPELLBOUND,
BLOODSHOT,
DEMOLISHED
AND SUDDENLY,

IN THE MIDDLE OF IT ALL
I INHALE.
I'VE NEVER SEEN A STARRIER SKY
I FLY MY ROCKET ALL THE WAY UP,
EXPLODING INTO A MILLION PIECES.
I SINK MY SUBMARINE,
IN THE CENTER OF YOUR OCEAN.

THIS IS HEAVEN;
NEEDY AND MET.
JUST WAIT.

I HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT TO MAKE!
AT THE LOWEST LOWS AND HIGHEST HIGHS
HARMONIZING, WE BLOOM
SURROUNDED IN LOVE,
CATHEXIS:
CRYSTALLIZED.
