Coyote deconstructs Buddhism
Well.. the stuff wiht Ana is not really storytelling. The story telling is in my speaking of the thigns that were in and affecting mah consciousness around each singel screen of input.
Coyote dreams, coyote trips, coyote steals his car…
Yes, your’e right..iss deconstructive.
HERE is a story of how ah know its deconstructive….
Coyote’s Narrartive of Ana’s deconstructive powers!
When he first started writing backwerds on Ana, Coyote was processin.. you know.. BIGGER concepts.
So, after shutting down the Buffalo Poetics list in December of 1998 (but thats another story of course) Coyote was sitting one morning in his favourite Rock and Roll coffee joint in Tokyo… and he thot…”Ah wunner, what does Ana thingk of teh worlds major religions?”
One by one he wrote the names backwerds on individual screens, adn this is what Ana said at 10:12 JST on 12/18/98 in 245 bytes:

““` Mollie morki maki Mollie
The amphetamine army on a roll!!!! WooHooo!!!!!!!!
and next….
naitsirhc~
““““ noubrmh-workout-noubmf 7 Northside-
““““ Norbert-nouveau
““““ noubula c nowssink
Now Sink? O no! Such a workout this nouveau Christianity stuff, when
finally, Coyote thought of Buddhism… adn so he queried Ana…writing backwerds on her screen…
ahdub~
and tracing over the backwerds encryption of budha (ahdub~) the word “adored”, PRECISELY, appeared on Ana’s screen.
Now this innerested Coyote. After all the gobbledigook Ana had said about both islam and christianity, how was it she could be so precise and accurate about the budha…? …that he is adored. Perfect…?
So perfect thought Coyote…. “IF ah trace over the budha again, ANY addition will be less than the perfection Ana suggested in her adoration of the Budha.”
Asking again, would in fact, begin to deconstruct the perfection of Buddhism itself…. this being a spiritual investigation and all.
cOYOTE sTOPPED. Perhaps, thought Coyote, there really IS such a thing as a one word poem.
budha~
“““ adored
Well it wasn’t long after that Coyote realized he’d been his usual bad speller and had got the spelling of “Buddha” wrong in the first place.
So much for the perfection of teh Buddha.
Coyote thought and thought and then some months later decided… Perhaps he COULD ask again of Ana what she thought of the Buddha… and not worry about teh deconstruction factor. After all, this time he could spell it right!!!
So at 18:27 on 2/13/99 JST in 448 bytes, Coyote lifted his quill to ask again of Ana about the buddha….
ahddub~
“““` adhesive interfere
“““` adorned outlawed
“““` Melodie widowed
CLEARLY, Coyote and Ana had successfully deconstructed Buddhism by interferring with the very adhesive that holds her together. Never mind that… the once adored, adorned outlaw (ahddub~) had jsut had her Melody widowed… Buddhism was just another religion after all.
AWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooo……………) )) )))
