PSYCHOSIS AS A REVOLUTIONARY WEAPON

by Michael Howlett

As the cherubs of repose dollop your brow with the puckered promise of the world of dreams, and the lateness of the hour devours your extremities with the needlings of an empire away from the everyday, gather up your final gram of resistance and scrub the slumber from your sockets. Grapple with this base instinct which keeps you in synch with the square world and get ready to vent your violence when we vanquish "sleep, which is the greatest thief, as it steals half one's life."
  Sleep is a coma, a death-like state, which people pull willingly over themselves like a blanket, and it is to myself and my learned colleagues a reprehensible condition which must be obliterated.

Tips for fighting sleep's death-like grip:
  1. THE INTENT - While society sleeps, bound to this archaic ritual, we shall take over.
  2. THE DRINK - The dewy drops of perspiration from another's brows, flavoured as they are with the mania of the long in waking.
  3. THE MANTRA - "KILL, KILL, KILL FOR INNER PEACE AND MENTAL HEALTH!"
  4. THE SARTORIALS - Pyjamas, once clownish and babylonian, now present themselves as a bold new uniform for the army fighting against the nauseous prospect of the ethical workday, and also as a salute to madness and possibility - both children of the night sky.

  Deny yourself the rituals which coincide with sleep's preparation. Do not wipe the taste of the day away with the false and foreign taste of mint, but relish the compacted and compounded evidence of an evening well spent!
  JUST SAY NO TO TOOTHPASTE!
