"

A fantastic vigilante and a femme-fatale exchange words/glass for a new-century Earth of things (simply) special teams.

A world-capitalism metaphysics/ethos/fantasy portrait. Happy weekend, all

"The Duke had become a special masked vigilante operationalist of blood-diamond smugglers-motions intercepts for a cool Robin Hood charactery in the 21st-Century Selfie-lifestyle Earth of things of consumerism-insurance integrity superstitions for serious social/media commentary happiness (wow). Well, friends, the Duke was about to meet his match in the form of a femme-nihilist messenger naysaying things of Wall-St. commerce integrity storytelling for mind/psyche 'glitter' (Facebook-like)."



FEMME-FATALE: I'm the evil mermaid of capitalism jitters, Duke.
THE DUKE: Well, well, an evil-mermaid label sure has me thinking of psyche-art!
FEMME-FATALE: I'm weaving cyber-images of media-culture 'dolls' with gargoyles.
THE DUKE: Gargoyles, eh (for bloody-murder)?
FEMME-FATALE: Consider me bathing in the Fountain of Youth for my anti-god.
THE DUKE: What in the Hell is an Anti-God, evil mermaid?
FEMME-FATALE: If you're Robin Hood, Duke...then I'm the anti-Aphrodite (ha).
THE DUKE: You're a qualia-messenger for things 7-sins for anti-capitalism, eh?
FEMME-FATALE: Facebook-like (for doubt).



"Friends, the cool Duke of things pro-capitalism spirts had engaged for language(s) the siren femme-fatale considering herself the anti-Aphrodite of Earth's networks/matrix psyche for bad darkness and smoke and fire and claimed she'd become the siren-muse of her 'anti-god' (some bloody murder avatar/man) for bathing in the Fountain of Youth for a Wall-St. paranoia (damn!)."



FEMME-FATALE: Robin Hood's dead, fool.
THE DUKE: Nah...and he'd love the film Blood Diamond were he here today, ha.
FEMME-FATALE: You're a classic idealist, Duke.
THE DUKE: Classic...maybe...but vigilante...doubtless (ha).
FEMME-FATALE: Our contest for things (dark) ensues, eh?
THE DUKE: Selfie-like (for a Blue Planet quartile).
