Mannequin Abreast

Portrait of a 'prince' whose mall-mannequin comes-to-life and sends him on a personalized quest for the quality of Earth's problem-solving cleats.

A life-holograms fable about inventions in decisions/idealizations drawn (loosely) from the immortality 'paranoia' concepts/imagery from Mannequin (Michael Gottlieb), which I think you'll like,

I was working as a consumerism advocate for the American Homeland languages of pluralism lifestyle when I started hearing a shopping complex figurine whispering to me, a mall-mannequin I named Esmerelda. I found my Selfie-consumerism commentary culture readings rendered some form for ghost-magic for lines to leviathan-evasions, finding great comforts in the art of Earth 'sportsmanship' helmets and promised Esmerelda that I'd become a better-man, perhaps a writer or social activist for eco-capitalism consciousness. I began sharing these thoughts with nerdist-citizenry for Western/American handshakes, and Esmerelda, my she-angel, was my lover, come-to-life somehow.

ESMERELDA: I've given you much, Earth-prince, no?
ME: You sure have, Ezzy (thanx).

ESMERELDA: I find you're quite intuitive about capitalism's arms, prince.

ME: We're in love, ain't we, Ezzy?

ESMERELDA: You've outgrown me...sorry to say!

ME: What's it?
ESMERELDA: I'm in love with someone else, forever.

ME: Who?
ESMERELDA: Tom Cruise (celebrity!).

ME: He knows you're a mannequin come-to-life.

ESMERELDA: He sure does...and we love each-other (equally!).

ME: Why not me?

ESMERELDA: You're destined for something more capitalist.

ME: Fine (thanx).

I wondered what drew Esmerelda to Tom Cruise and away from me (suddenly)! Was I really growing 'past' her, as she insisted? I thought she (simply) fell for this other-man, given his worldly charms and successes, while I was en-route to a more diligence route for bureaucracy-arts for eco-capitalism, likely being more self-inquiring than others (e.g., Tom Cruise). This was some kind of divine revelation, and I was humbled...and worried.

I decided to form my own special unit of eco-capitalism interventions/intelligence for conflict-zone gem roadways interceptions ('blood-diamonds') and forgot about Esmerelda and wondered if she and Tom Cruise (actually!) were dating/in-love (ha). My new life of consumerism 'consciousness' advocacy now concerned those incomplete-distances readings for the 'leviathan' of Earth sportsmanship windows for duty/education/invention. I shared my work/imagery with others invested in the pluralism 'matrix' of commerce/lifestyle 'linked' social Earth-space cleats for troubles/superstition.
