Disassociated

Drifting in the void,

trying to avoid being encased.

I float and spring without a trace of

myself lingering in the space I once kept.

Deprived of sensation,

Where is the self I once grew fond of?

It seems memories are mere remnants of

my disposition.

There are no suitable titles.

Like adapted atoms,

I hold space

and separate from designation.

Descriptions that were deemed once appropriate

now, prove petrifying.

I remain unbounded.

Ari Aster's Families On The Fritz

In Ari Aster’s 2016 short film C’est La Vie, Chester Crummings, a homeless man, speaks directly and combatively to camera about his life and society at large as he wanders the streets of LA, surviving, begging for change and casually murdering people. At one point, he says: “You know what Freud says about the nature of horror? He says it’s when the home becomes unhomelike. Unheimlich.” In Sig...
