TextTextTextTextTextText…Reference…TextTextTextTextTextTextText
With so much text floating around — a rebus for air — how does one assign value to pieces of it?
Text, in the internet’s fractal of Typhon heads, is only assigned value when it’s in reference to text bigger than itself; when it snaps on a celebrity, claps back at the president, big-ups some TV show, and distracts from the fact that it doesn’t really matter.
Text is a void until reference makes it an entity.
