What is this blank stare, and how do I get one for myself?
#2
As real time accelerates at a rate far exceeding the more controlled tempos of
codified history, the meaning of catastrophic events, if anyone is left to remember
them at all, can only be established long after the fact. The disaster takes care of
everything because inside the disaster, we are made to forget about the
body.
