the beginning of laissez-faire, or economic possibilities for our grand llamas
mikael johani
miles away in lima
i cocked the tip of my peruvian hat
to a shadow of you
in the corner of a deserted market
the measure of ego: an inquiry into the index numbers of its self-inflation
mikael johani and nicholas agafonoff
@mikael sounds like… you were remembering someone who no longer is… very lonely it feels
@agaforce i was just trying to get her to hire my llama
@mikael i don’t get that. are you just kidding. what’s a llama
@agaforce it’s those half-donkey half-ostrich animals they use as couriers
@mikael i see, so you are selling llamas. the shadow is a potential customer. maybe a tourist from distant seas
@agaforce maybe
@mikael and there is some despair because the marketplace is poor
@agaforce globalization and things
@mikael and the tourist becomes a strange spiritual creature that the locals loathe but have to prostitute themselves and their culture to in order to subsist
@agaforce most kids wear baseball hats now. thrown away their fedoras
@mikael there’s co-creation in post-modernity
@agaforce yep whoring is a lonely life
@mikael i like that you take the position of the llama seller. it evokes a whole other subjective experience that is remarkably detailed and sympathetic. quite political too in a beautiful and precise way
@agaforce selling llamas is a lonely wife
