The System’s Bite: The Nipple as a Point of Fugue and Mineral Consecration

Last night I opened the same page again.

It wasn’t the same.

I think that’s the most embarrassing part to admit.

Not the page.

But the fact that I went back.

I’ve been reading about this for too long to pretend it’s curiosity anymore.

But I still call it that.

Curiosity.

As if the word could hold its shape.

Today something felt off while I was reading.

Not in the text.

In me.

I’ve stopped knowing when I actually start reading.

Sometimes I’m already inside it before I decide to be.

That makes me close the laptop too quickly.

As if closing it could stop something from staying.

I don’t know what.

There is a note in the notepad.

I wrote it.

I think.

It says:

“do not hold the next cycle”

I don’t remember writing it.

But I remember reading it before.

That’s the worst part.

The repetition without origin.

I tried deleting it.

It came back.

Not immediately.

Later.

As if it doesn’t depend on when I erase it.

But on somewhere else.

I’ve stopped trusting the cursor.

It feels like it arrives before my intention does.

Not always.

Just sometimes.

That’s what keeps me here.

Today I closed everything without finishing anything.

Not because anything was wrong.

But because I felt I was about to understand it.

And that always happens right before it stops being safe.

I didn’t want to check.

That was a decision.

I think.

I have to move the neck I am not moving it I should…
