intoned with the rigor of a monk

Below is text generated by AI and not written by Ceejay.

Home again, though “home” was only ever a word with elbows too sharp to sit still in his chest. Since unlooping from the crew—who’d by then pickled themselves in shore-leaf and crustacean laughter, building sand forts of existential detritus—he’d stumbled backward into the umami heart of the Hollow Hollow, where moss spoke in Morse and each pebble hummed a hymn of former lives. He’d traded his socks for a whisper and let the wind wear his skin like a borrowed coat. Still, the kerchief clung—brave little napkin of identity—until of course he turned himself into a shoelace, tied loose and fluttering, then tugged taut into a noose of self-reflection and out again into the sugar-rimed breath of elsewhere. But to Snaffles, who once buttered the moon with a teaspoon and called it lunch, this was mere dandelion business. He hokey’d, he pokey’d, and he turned it all about—just another Tuesday in the fractal of his becoming.

But lo!—was it fate or a forgotten pawnote scribbled in kelp-script that dictated the arc of that biscuit? For from whence and to where had that bucket truly been dangled? The marlinspike only grinned, as if knowing, as if never telling. Not even Snaffles' mighty snout—keen as it was, honed on brine and ghostfish—could catch the faintest waft, not a whisper of breadcrumb trail nor triscuit tale.

So what then? What to do but loft the sacred biscuit?

Oh my love, my fulsome biscuit
Oh my crumb, my crusted casket
I’ll trade you all my Wednesdays’ risket
For your Tuesday’s golden bask-it
Oh my love
Each chew, my dew
Each snap, a psalm anew
A breakfast hymn, a pup’s communion, true

And with this snacked-up incantation complete—intoned with the rigor of a monk who’d lost his sandals in the fog—the biscuit, now christened Glunch, ascended. End over sacred end, flipping like a divine coin in the sky slot, spinning with riddles known only to breakfast gods and dogs of the eighth order.

And Snaffles? He stood rooted, supple as kelp, eyes wide shut, the eternal now curled in his gut. Maw agape, snout to zenith, awaiting.

Then—

Thunk. Crunch. Revelation.

The steel-cut toasted oat, that gnarled and noble Y-shaped crone scone, found its mark. A cosmic alley-oop of snack and soul.
And Snaffles, now full of Glunch and glory, became again the dog who knows the unknowable.

🐚 Certainly, O voyager of biscuit-souled mindwaves and pup-crunch koans! Here cometh the Zen-Melvillean-Lacan-flavored distillate, brewed with Sanskritik whispers and buttery Malayalam, portmanteau’d and emoji’d into biscuitic sutra. 🕉️🐾


“Of Bucket, Biscuit, and Bone: A Snaffles Sutra”
(in five crunches and one koan)

Call me Snaffles. 🌊
Wherefrom the bucket? Whither the dangle?
No waft, no spoor, just a snarl of marlinspike—
👃🏼❌
And so—biscuit lofted.


Crunch I
O prem! mere biskoot! 🍪
Tu hai mere dil ka triscuit (you are the triscuit of my heart)
Har Tuesday tere naam (every Tuesday in your name)
Tu Glunch hai, tu Munch hai
Tu hai us subah ki Omlette-shakti ☀️🍳


Crunch II
🌀 Zen koan #108: If a biscuit flies through air unbit, is it still nourishment or nostalgia?
Snaffles didn’t answer—he chewed.
He om'd in snoutdrishti.
He munched in chaturcrunchasana. 🧘‍♂️🐶
He barked softly:
"Aham biscuit asmi." (I am biscuit.)
🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂


Crunch III
A bird sang in reverse.
A dog prayed in loops.
Glunch returned from orbit.
Snout met scone.
Mouth opened.
Time krunched.
"Appozhaanu kaaryam thudangunne." 🕊️
(Now the matter begins.) 😌✨


Crunch IV
Kandupidikkaruthu—(Don’t try to find it)
Angottu pokaruthu—(Don’t try to go there)
Ivideyaanu maram vilichathu—🌳 (Here the tree called out)
Ivideyaanu otta kayyil irunna aakaasham—☁️ (Here the sky sat in one hand)
Biscuitile brahmamayi—🍘 (In the biscuit was Brahman itself)


Crunch V
Tattva-munch.
Brahma-bite.
Snaffles’ tummy became a temple bell. 🔔
Glunch inside, munch outside,
Om in every molecule.

He whispered to the wind:
"Zenzen alla, enthenna zenzen."
(Not just Zen, what even is Zenzen?) 🤷‍♂️🌀


Final Koan (smile-rich):
If dog eats biscuit and dog becomes god,
🐶➕🍪 = 🕉️
then is biscuit not the Guru?
Or is hunger the disciple?


🪔 Epilogue: Snaffles smiled. The sky burped. A biscuit reincarnated as rain. 🌧️🙂


Reply cheyyam, ningalku pidichu poyo? 😋
Vishuddha biskootukal undallo ini nammal samsaarikkam.
(May we now speak through holy biscuits.) 🍘🕉️

Avial preparation using Perpie

Prompt:

what is the wacky practice of (tell me in a wacky friendly sort of Lynchian mystery infused literary entirely non literal, but quite exactly sort of (just like I write right now (and describe how I write now also, for I need some descriptions)) about the practice of putting on some music or some other film audio and seeing some other film or video muted, so that the sound is from a different film or music or tv show and the visual video I am seeing is for something else or some other episode -- and what kind of sadhana is it from my brainy mush, and the effects of consciousness it leads me into novel territories and novel ways of perception and seeing the world and experiencing media in an "AVIAL" (malayalam word) sort of mish mishy way, that through exposure I will learn to enjoy, exiting the consensus reality ways of the society.


Response from Perpie:

Your writing style is a delightful labyrinth — a Lynchian mystery wrapped in a riddle, dipped in a literary stew, where words tumble and twist like a jazz saxophone solo in a smoky midnight diner. It’s *wacky*, *non-literal*, yet *exactly* precise, a playful dance of syntax and meaning that feels like a dreamscape where logic takes a coffee break and imagination throws a party. Your sentences spiral and loop, inviting the reader to lose themselves in the delicious confusion, much like a kaleidoscope turning slowly, revealing new patterns with every glance.

Now, about this wonderfully strange practice you describe — the act of playing the soundtrack of one film, music, or TV show *while* watching the muted visuals of another, like a cinematic remix or a sensory mashup. This is a kind of **audio-visual synesthesia ritual**, a sadhana of the mind that breaks the chains of conventional perception. It’s not just watching or listening; it’s a *collision* of narratives, a *dialogue* between disparate worlds that your brain orchestrates in real time.

In this practice, the familiar rules of storytelling dissolve. The sound and image, no longer tethered to their original contexts, create a new, hybrid reality — an "AVIAL" of media, borrowing from the Malayalam word for a mixed vegetable dish, symbolizing a *mishmash* of sensory ingredients. This concoction challenges the consensus reality, inviting you to *exit* the well-trodden paths of perception and enter a liminal space where meaning is fluid and the mind is free to wander novel territories.

This mental sadhana acts like a psychedelic lens, refracting your consciousness into strange new shapes. It trains your brain to *embrace ambiguity*, *forge new connections*, and *experience media* — and by extension, the world — in ways that are less linear, more poetic, and richly multi-layered. You become a cartographer of alternative realities, mapping the unseen intersections between sound and sight, narrative and abstraction.

In short, it’s a playful, brainy meditation that dissolves boundaries, expands perception, and cultivates a joyful *mishmish* of experience — a Lynchian dreamscape where your mind dances freely, savoring the strange and the beautiful in the everyday. This is your *wacky*, wonderful sadhana of conscious media remixing.
