scream.

8 November 2007 · by Tintin Wulia · in blah

They screamed. “¨

The air rattled in tune

“¨and they screamed so loud “¨

their heads blew up.
Finding themselves in a place that made no sense,
they pieced together secrets,
white lies, fear, dreams and glue them with beliefs.
“¨Anything
to draw images of themselves “¨ “¨to validate their existence

constructing

a common thing called memory. “¨ “¨ “¨
Time passes.
Myth becomes reality. “¨ “¨ “¨ “¨ “¨They call it history.

As a result of an auction in Sarah Vanhee's The Great Public Sale of Unrealised But Brilliant Ideas, my bio has become a collective bio:

When they were thirteen, Tintin Wulia and Christiane Berndes wished that Peter Pan would lose his shadow in their neighborhood, because they thought that Peter Pan was kinda sexy. Night after night, they would think a happy thought, wishing that Peter would find them if they could fly. Nothing happened – Tintin and Christiane discovered that Peter had much preferred Wendy.

Three decades later, Tintin and Christiane are still discovering many things. One, that Peter Pan is a fictional character invented by James Matthew Barrie. Two, that the fact that Peter is fictional doesn’t mean that he’s illusory. They are also discovering that, three, it is not a happy thought that one needs to be able to fly – it is, rather, the combination of a passport and a valid visa. And also, four, that the fact that one needs a passport and a valid visa to be able to fly is just shitty.
