Crowds have never made me feel good but being in an audience always does. There is a theatricality to spectatorship.

It is not in the hope of one day being recognised as real but because the violence of the real is not worth the price of admission.1

I can recognise the oncoming footsteps of a person I like. In this way I am little better than a dog.2

Something has changed within me. Something is not the same.3
Something so intimate about repetition.
In this way I am little better than a dog.

The events are coming! The events are going to happen.

I think the amphitheatre has always been a site for propaganda.
