‘Sally’ The Stripper
Part of The Fiesta 13’s new Meet The Professionals Series.
March 17, 1953
From a found notebook in a pile of stuff,
Addressed to no one.
No, I don’t take my clothes off for strangers’ titillation. Shame on you.
I strip workers of their clothes for professional and personal humiliation. Among other tasks.
I’m a stripper.
After The Outward Collapse of AMERIKA! In 1950, we were—as a BizNation—fash-tish-ticly falling into the natural instinct to inflict pain on others. Books on manipulative and malignant narcissists topped bookshelves of financial districts everywhere. Read ‘em all, forget ‘em all.
The High Mystic Capitali$ts needed workers to pay & still stay. Not flee like so many in The ’40’s, through the loop de loop.
And one, or all, when one or all, have a fantastical profit-driven prophecy, every one and every all adopt one or all of one or all’s profit-driven prophecy immediately. Now.
They say. Memorized it like a sunset.
The Profitcy: Employees are children who need punishment to drive the thrive.
A secret for me. One of the ones remembered. You know you knew. Repetition. I’m a Northie/Southie by birth.
99.998 percent of humans have Left/Right brains, mine is bifurcated into North/South halves.
What’s this mean? Dunno much, don’t care to know. Much shuddered.
The Psychotronic Brain Scientists said that both the creative & logical are joined, but memory & emotions are split somewhat. Probably a lie. Developing the ability to forget at will only makes you realize there ain’t much worth remembering.
When certain darker moods set upon me, my memory shortens and my short-term memory could purge completely. Did it happen? Life is fundamentally compartmentalized.
Work/Not Work. Family/Work. Sleep/Work.
The ability to fully compartmentalize is my value. The ability to fully compartmentalize is my value. The ability to fully compartmentalize is my value. Seal unvaluable compartments. Darken unvaluable brain compartments.
The Profitcy: 1A. Ritual Humiliation not only bonds workers to their job, but the abatement of Ritual Humiliation keeps the grateful children working.
When shucking crickets as a pre-employee pre-teen, the family I lived with would say I would cackle like a mad ocelot as I pulled the legs off dinner, then roll the meat in flavour powder—-OTHERS POWDERS—-pop the tasty grit gravy into my mouth & not remember. At all. Subconscious forgetting? Dunno.
Now we can’t make the cricket tray, not 13, ain’t enough, ain’t enoggugh, ain’t….
Born in 1930, AMERIKA!’s First Employee Year was during my birthday. The PBS Monitors offered me some new drug to help wield my ‘Super Duper Power.’ I wrote that down before purging. Fuck Super Dupers.
The Psy-Sci’s said a very large number and I said yes.
The Profitcy: 1B. Shared Humiliation bonds children to their work.
Long-term memories, the remembered, are always wonderful & with in focus with full emotional reach. The memory of every orgasm.
As sunset. A kiss. A first flutter of love. The isolated happiness of an imagined, lived-in love. That One Moment.
In a cubby hole, retrieved like shoes.
The lake is over there, so pretty. Where’s the sunset?
Talk with me later.
Love in Remembrance,
S
