Rejection of the standards or norm carves a path towards new insights unmoored from correctness. In contemporary collaborations between seamstress and machine, the loom is once again a potential instrument of rebellion and emancipation. In snatched moments on unsanctiones tools, the shirt has stolen product also protests a larger theft: theft of land, theft of resources, theft of time.

Money, language, and time form a triangle - a set of symbolic values whose real resonance is in their representation and domination of parcels of experience. Time is coerced through a techno-linguistic matrix. We insist on taking our time.

Shanzhai Lyric must be read "like the world, as a series of marks to be deciphered. There is always a chance that indistinct transmission or inaccurate rendering may create 'incorrect' or alternative readings..." An automatic free writing evinces new configurations of meaning making. Poetry refutes the logic of exchangeability and legibility. We babble and exclaim. Freed, and on and on. FREEDON.
